Paper Pieced Woodland Animals

This is definitely “cabin” time of year. I’ve been spending many weekends “roughing” it in northern Wisconsin and it has inspired me to design some paper pieced woodland animals.

This is my “Forest Friends” quilt pattern. It includes 6 different woodland animals. These animals are super easy to construct.

The pattern also includes directions to make a table runner.

Here are close-ups of some of my favorite blocks:

My son is crazy over Hedge Hogs, so he wanted me to include this cute guy.

This wise Owl inspired one of customers to construct this adorable tote.

This tote was created by another sweet customer, Mary E. She likes foxes. Love it!

Northwoods Paper Piecing

Enjoying my mug of chai on the deck. What a lovely view! After spending the weekend at my cabin in northern Wisconsin, I felt excited to share this table runner pattern. I designed it with the northwoods in mind.

This is “At The Cabin” , which measures 16″ wide x 40″ long.

Included in the table runner is a grinning wolf…

a lumbering bear...

a crafty fox…

and a majestic moose…and some trees, of course!

“At The Cabin” is adorning my dining table in my rustic cabin, and always makes me smile.

Farmyard Stars Paper Pieced Quilt

Growing up on a dairy farm in Wisconsin has instilled a life long love of animals. The “Farmyard Stars” quilt was motivated by all my lovely memories of animals and pets that we saw on our farm every day.

I love everything about this design. The animals are bold and bright with whimsical expressions. The black and white border presents a calming, yet quirky frame to the colorful animals. The animal sounds were machine embroidered in the sashing, but could also be satin stitched, appliqued, or skipped altogether.

I have a hard time choosing my favorite animal, but “Demi Moo” the cow is right up near the top. Remember, these are farmyard STARS, so each is named after a celebrity.
