New Hamburg, Ontario, Canada: Quilt-As-You-Go Stash Busters Quilt Pattern


New Hamburg Relief Sale Quilt Patterns
2010 Relief Sale Quilt Pattern

Quilt-As-You-Go Stash-Busters

http://www.nhmrs.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=51&Itemid=56

Due to popular demand for a new pattern, Emily Hunsberger went to her drawing board and came up with a versatile design that is quilted and assembled block by block. Traditional quilts are made by layering a whole quilt top with full-sized batting and backing. With the “quilt-as-you-go” method, small units are individually quilted, then joined together. Once joined, the only remaining step is to attach the binding. It is a very liberating experience. If your space is limited, and you thought that you could never make a quilt, think again! This is an extremely versatile technique with countless applications. Every quilt is guaranteed to be one-of-a-kind!

Pattern price is $12.00, with proceeds going to Mennonite Central Committee.

Quilt patterns are available at:
MCC Ontario office (50 Kent Avenue, Kitchener)
Quilters Nine Patch, Elmira
Creative Sisters (Lancaster St., Kitchener)
Len's Mill Stores in Hawkesville and Kitchener
New Hamburg Thrift Centre, New Hamburg
Reichards, St. Jacobs

Patterns can also be mailed to buyers for a cost of $14 ($12 for the pattern plus $2 for postage). Contact Emily Hunsberger at ejhunsberger@sympatico.ca for further information.
