Happy Days

Book excerpt: Sarah's new book, Happy Days, is the full pattern from her 2016 Block of the Month. When Sarah started to make this quilt in 2015, it was a bit of an experiment. She hadn't ever run a Block of the Month program before, and she had no idea how it would be received. She also knew that her format for a BOM would be slightly different - she's never one to do things in the "usual" way. As a result, this new Happy Days book comes to you as a rather unique proposition.It is only one quilt pattern- however, it contains enough work to keep you busy for a whole year, broken out into chapters.AND design is provided in 3 colorways.It is quite a complex design, containing traditional piecing, Foundation Paper piecing, English Paper Piecing, needle turn applique and a lot more - however the book is broken down to be made in order of difficulty from start to finish, so you build on your skills as you sew. Each technique is explained and there is an option to buy accompanying videos. This quilt has been made by many hundreds of people before you even see this book, so there is a gallery of quilts for inspiration for you to access, and you know the pattern has been well tested!What will you learn with this Block of the Month book?Traditional machine piecingMaking easy bias tapeMaking perfect circlesInstruction on using specialty rulersHawaiian appliqueAppliqu� Foundation paper piecing,English paper piecingHand quilting instructionThe quilt will finish at Queen size, however there will be advice on making the quilt smaller and changing the border size.Also available with supporting chapter video tutorials at www.sarahfielke.com
