Suncatcher Quilt Pattern - An Arlene Walsh Design, Southwest Pattern, Fused Applique
Suncatcher - 27” x 27”
Create your own souvenir southwest clay pot, but without the clay or pottery wheel. Suncatcher re-recreates the decorative pots seen throughout the southwest using fabric. This pot is decorated with the brilliant sky and sun of the southwest, as well as the classic talismans – a dream catcher, a noble bald eagle, and a fanciful feather as is used in native headdresses and costumes. This project is one to let lose your creative muse as the project is overflowing with personalization opportunities. Embrace the symbology of these images and create your own keepsake pot made of fabric.
Create an original fiber art wall-hanging using the detailed patterns and instructions of Arlene Walsh Designs. Employing a variety of appliqué techniques and tools throughout her patterns, Arlene Walsh has translated traditional pen and ink art images to dynamic multi-dimensional wall-hanging quilts and provided you with the information necessary to replicate these striking works of art.
Arlene brings over fifty years of experience in quilt making and design to her patterns. Her personal quilting began to take over when she discovered needle turn appliqué. Soon Arlene was drawing pictures and transforming them into fabric art. In 1994, Arlene Walsh Designs, a quilt pattern company that specialized in Southwest designs, was formed. Arlene has lectured and taught in shops and at guilds across the country.
