to Giveaway The selection of quilts, wall hangings etc. plus
pincushions and cushions are designed to be
gifts. Many items have slogans e.g. ‘You are
Brave’ and ‘Love encourages.’ The lettering is
given but individual hand writing is an option.

The embroidery and appliqué are hand sewn.
Each project has actual size templates with
stitches shown in sharp black lines. ‘Stitch and
Flip’ appliqué (lining shapes to prevent see-
through) is explained clearly.

It is simple patchwork, mainly squares with
button and lace adding embellishment.
The photos of the neutral coloured quilts show
beautiful machine quilting.

FOLLOW YOUR HEART
TERRY ATKINSON © 2019

These quilts were inspired by a road trip in the USA.
All the quilts come in different sizes: baby, lap, twin,

queen and king sizes. The introduction gives clear in-
structions for piecing. There are no quilting directions.
The sampler quilt has fifteen blocks, most are original,

taken from road signs and often feature arrows. Precise
piecing is necessary; they are not simple patterns.
There are numerous narrow strips and arrows made of
several fabric pieces. • giveaway • giveaway • giveaway • giveaway

The blocks are repeated in other quilts, a runner and
bags. It is a book for an experienced quilter. 1
