Ann's Legacy is Di Ford’s reproduction/interpretation of a quilt made c.1818 by Ann Daggs of Rochester, New York. We are super-excited to offer you this gorgeous quilt as one of our well-planned and comprehensively described programs that we are known to deliver here at Shiralee Stitches.

Enjoy easy-to-achieve hand applique results by using the applique paper method and Sandy’s simple instructions, as well as some English Paper Piecing, working with faithful reproduction fabrics, many of which are from Di’s latest fabric range, Anne’s English Scrapbox. In the photo below, you see the quilt centre created in the fabrics which will be in your kit. We have chosen the gorgeous ombre red border print to border the centrepiece….it is not a border print like the one Di used in her version, but we really wanted to use Di’s fabric as a legacy to her, and we are thrilled with the effect. All other fabrics are chosen to replicate the quilt as close as we can.

This is a 12 month BOM program……each month will include:-

• pre-printed applique paper sheets with all the shapes required for that month (reversed and ready to go!…this will save you hours of prep time and allow you to start on the fun stuff much more quickly!)
• comprehensive cutting notes/fussy cutting guidelines
• close-up photos of the applique and EPP, created in exactly the same fabrics as are included in your kit
• all the fabrics you need to create the quilt top and binding
• any papers and perspex cutting templates required to complete that month’s component
• notes including any other tips/tricks/info we think you may benefit from to complete that month’s sewing

The pattern for this quilt was published in Di Ford’s first Quiltmania book, Primarily Quilts, a copy of which will be required to complete the program. You can pre-order yours here, to be sent with your Month One package (extra postage added at time of mailing)

Cost for this BOM will be as follows:-

• Months 1, 2, 3 and 4 $98/month +  p&h
• Months 5 to 12 inclusive   $69/month + p&h

Finished Quilt size 66″ square (167cm square)
