A Colonial Candle Pocket


Colonial Gathering Club
Plum Street Samplers--Kit 1
35 ct Olde Towne Blend (R & R)
NPI Silks 

My first club project, my first finish.  This was one of those delightful designs I couldn't resist starting and once started, I just kept going.  A fun design, fun linen and fibers and Betty, the finisher will work her magic and turn this flat stitch into a candle pocket.  I have a couple of pieces of Farmer Fancy quilt fabric with coverlet designs which will make their way into some of the finishes.


I did some stash shopping and found these other coverlet designs:  Harry Tyler's Lion by Heartstring Samplery, Coverlet Birds by The Scarlet House and Overshot Heart by Barrick Samplers.  To maintain my coverlet stitching mojo, I hope to fill in with these designs between kits.
