CRAZY SEASONS MYSTERY QUILT - REETS WOOLY WINTER BLOCK

It is beyond 90 degrees so i had to bring back this neighborhood photo to get in the mood for . . 

CRAZY SEASONS MYSTERY QUILT BLOCK #11 - WOOLY WINTER
FREE PATTERN DOWNLOAD - 16 inch Crazy Quilt Block
This is the 11th Block that is part of Farmhouse Threads Crazy Seasons Sew Along.
I was so happy to be a part of this wonderful project.  Rhonda from Farmhouse Threads did an incredible job organizing this group of 12 designers.
I learned a lot.  Had never done a crazy quilt.  I dug out my old embroidery book also, and learned several new fun stitches.
On our website you will find
  1. Free Pattern Download
  2. A Kit available for purchase - All Flannels and Hand Dyed Wools shown.
  3. A Printed Pattern available for purchase  - for those who do not want to print the 12 page free download.
A NOTE for those of you who choose to purchase a Kit:  Most of the wool pieces are very small .. there is no extra.  For your convenience we have folded each Flannel Background section around the wool pieces for that section.  This was a huge effort but we feel good knowing that there will be no confusion knowing what goes where.  A few of the flannel pieces are brushed flannel meaning they are fuzzy on only one side . . the other side is smooth homespun.  Be sure to note this when cutting out your sections.
I hope you enjoy this pattern . . and the other 11 free patterns.  And of course you do not have to make the entire 12 block quilt . . this would be a great 16 inch pillow or wall hanging.
All three of the above items are found on the home page of our website.  CLICK HERE to head on over to Reets Site for your free pattern and more.

If you have not been following the Sew Along,  just go to our previous posts to see all of the preceding blocks.  Or Click Here to go to the Crazy Seasons Sew Along FaceBook Group page.
And Click Here to see the schedule of designers and links to their free pattern.  They are only free until August so don't wait!
Happy Stitching!
