Needed: Cathedral Quilt Pattern
I wonder if anyone here could help me find this pattern. The one I'm
looking for isnt the one where you sew each square together, but you sew several muslin squares (after folding and sewing) together to make a block of about 9 or 10 inches (I think). Then you put the colored little squares on. If this sounds familiar to anyone could you please tell me where I can find it? Thank You Carol Ann in WV |

You could perhaps start by looking for Lynne Edwards' website (have to
start with Google, as I don't know it I'm afraid). She has written several books and articles on Cathedral Window. There may not be a pattern on her website, but I expect there are some links. She is in England, but I'm sure you'll get something. Or, you could just start with Google and search for 'Cathedral Window pattern'. (I'm assuming that this is the pattern you want - it sounds like it). .. In message , writes I wonder if anyone here could help me find this pattern.

I just googled and found this:
http://www.sewing.com/projects/uploa...ndow_quilt.pdf Google around if this one doesn't work. Lots of older quilt books have the instrusctions and there are some out there that allow you to machine sew part of the construction. That is a great carry around project. My sis had a neighbor that did the blocks for years on her lunch break at work. The finished result was literally awesome. Fun project. Taria wrote in message ...

You can find patterns for Cathedral Windows all over the internet,
simply by tapping "cathedral windows" into your search engine! I suggest you read quite a few, and then save and/or print out the one you like the best. All will work, and some are simpler than others. Some are 100% hand-stitching, and others are a mix of machine stitching and hand-stitching. I find it handy to make stacks of the basic "before you add the windows" bits by machine at home, and then cut the "windows", and put them into plastic zipper-style bags to finish later. I take them with me when I travel and am in the mood for some hand-stitching. Enjoy! PS. Before you invest in lots of background fabric, I suggest you make 9 of the background blocks, assemble, add the windows, and see whether you enjoy working on this pattern! You will have a sample, have experience in the work, and know whether you want to make something large, all before you spend much money! My sample piece is under a cut glass pitcher full of silk flowers in one of the guest rooms. |

Thank you for your suggestions. Unfortunately I'm on WebTV, not a
computer, and still in the Dark Ages as far as most new technology. I have been searching the internet to find this pattern and when I click on a link I just sit and wait and it never loads. Very frustrating. I'll keep looking and maybe something will load. Carol Ann in WV |

Aha! Thank you, Susan. I just Knew I'd seen an easier wonderful manner of
doing Cathedral Windows. It was when Shelley was on Simply Quilts. Oh my that was such a wonderful show. Now we can watch 17 ways to make cupcakes that look like a guitar or be advised to hide all of our kitchen appliances. Oh woe. Polly "Susan Torrens" wrote in message ... Is this what you want? http://www.shelleysstudio.com/ She wrote a book of machine Cathedral Window quilts - I saw her on Simply Quilts many years ago. Susan |
