Climbing Clematis

From one of my favorite designers, Ruth Blanchet, at Arbee Designs:

Do you love our applique designs but feel they look too much of a
challenge for you? We now have a new colour wash applique pattern just for you. This design will build your confidence so you can complete any of our larger projects. Our Climbing Clematis pattern can be made in many different colour ways to complement your decor. The Clematis flower is typically white or pink but can be found in colours ranging from pure white to lavender to the darkest purples and the richest reds. This great beginner’s project is just what you need to get started in applique. We have a special early bird price for a short time only.

Make this scrappy quilt out of your stash, charm squares or fat quarters! It uses 5″ squares and has fusible web appliques for the flower centers and leaf caps. The pattern has sizes (from) throw to king.
