Chelsea Garden Block Ajuga

PATTERN ONLY. 

My garden is a joy. It was my Mother’s garden before it was mine so holds lots of memories and precious plants that were hers. I even have my Grandmothers rhubarb, and her ultimate treasure – maidenhair fern. 

That magical spring time of year inspired me to create some more applique designs based on the flowers in my garden – I hope you like them too.

Starting out as small applique blocks (they fit an 8 inch block) that could be quickly and inexpensively made and mounted, they quickly became a bit of an addiction and grew in number, then into their own quilt!  You can see the whole quilt here: https://www.widebacks.co.nz/sh...

Like many of you, I have old doilies and embroidered pieces stashed away. I had this wonderful idea to add some of these to the applique blocks, as you will see in the images.

The block measure approx 8 inches x 8 inches.  

Pattern includes:

*fabric requitrements

*colour reference picture,  

*colours used in the sample and fabric placement, 

*tracing design already reversed and the correct size, 

* instruction on how to applique and how to make this block. 

The sample is raw edge applique by machine using batik fabrics.
