Moda All-Stars: Mini Charm Quilts
18 Clever Projects for 2½" Squares
Compiled by Lissa Alexander
The Moda All-Stars are back to charm you in many “mini” ways! Start with one, two, or three packs of 2½" mini-charm squares; then choose a project from 18 celebrated Moda designers, including Lisa Bongean, Jen Kingwell, Jo Morton, Laurie Simpson, and Pat Sloan. And let the mini-making begin!
Projects include a pincushion, a runner, a doll-quilt-and-pillow set, and a multitude of small quilts, including one inspired by an antique game board. Mini charms pack a mighty punch—and these fun patterns work like a charm.
A Cottage Garden
Stitch and Enjoy a Bounty of Beautiful Blossoms
Kathy Cardiff
When an avid gardener and seasoned quilt and stitchery designer combines her passions, magic sprouts! Using wool as her medium and flowers as her muse, Kathy Cardiff brings her blossoming backyard garden to life in projects that blend elegant beauty with a touch of primitive charm.
Projects from pillows and sewing notions to table toppers and wall quilts culminate in a stunning nine-block sampler quilt bursting with blooms. Add basic embroidery-stitch details to give each flower, leaf, and vine Kathy’s special brand of cottage style.
