Little Dragons Everywhere
NQP CAQ-7
Work a little magic on a room with this 50" x 67½" row quilt. Six different little dragons romp across an enchanted countryside, while a new baby hatchling watches safely from a corner.
Panels may be arranged in any combination, (try a wall hanging with only one or two panels over a bed) or, sew single dragons (the largest is 16" wide) on individual blocks. Twinkle, the hatchling, would alsobe adorable on alternating blocks for a baby quilt.
Complete fusible appliqué instructions included.

Vases n Faces
NQP CAW-06
Wow! Not just one, but 18 different vase patterns are included which show profiles of men, women and children. --Plus 40 leaf and flower shapes to add flower arrangements if desired.
Do you see the faces? This pattern is based on a classic optical illusion, and can sneak up on you. Look at the edge silhouette of the vase.
Plain, solid colour vases show the faces best, while vases made from 2-3 fabrics and combined with flower appliqués are more subtle.
Fusible appliqué vases can be used on individual blocks or made into larger wall hangings. Some vases look like goblets, while others look more like candleholders or cake plates.
