Anemone Quilt Square Designs

When I first got the idea of organizing my digitized designs to offer on online auction, I began to formulate categories in my mind.

I really like quilting and wanted to offer creative designs to coordinate with the large variety of quilting fabrics available.  The first projects are found in Anemone Quilt Squares 1. There are 4 designs with a center and streams of stitching coming out from the center. They reminded me of sea anemones.  I was searching for name for my design business.

Upon checking my dictionary,  I found that anemones were not only sea creatures, but also the name of a flower. I knew that floral blocks would be included in my collection, because I love flowers. So, the name Anemone Quilt Designs and Embroidery was born.

My first webmaster helped me immensely by making templates for me to display and upload my digitizing efforts. He also created the beautiful flower that adorns my home page-and the total design of my home page. I will be forever indebted to him. He had the creative talent of the design, PLUS the computer geek skills to incorporate just what I needed to get started on the web.  To Evan, I don’t  have words to express my appreciation for the patience and information you freely shared with me.

My initial project idea for Anemone Quilt Squares took a few years to develop; it ended up with 7 sets of designs, each a little different but compatible to use in a quilt.

Each set has 9 designs (I seem to fixate on 9 patch arrangements.)  And I wanted to offer each design in 4 sizes to accommodate hoop sizes of various customers’ machines.  That also seemed logical for the range of quilt top sizes needed.

I have had customers who bought all 7 sets of Anemone Quilt Squares. Some sent pictures of their project when completed. Catherine made many quilts she was selling. She sent me the picture of the Irish Chain Quilt which can be found on most of my product pages.  I now offer the 7 set collection at a bargain price, to include a gift with purchase-spool of Hemingworth Thread.

Please enjoy browsing my designs. I developed the categories in a sequence over several years, adding more designs as time allowed. I probably have graphics to last me as long as I live and hope to be continually adding more designs to the collection.  My best general advice is:  HAVE FUN SEWING!
