Alice's Country Diary Quilt Book

Slow down, savour every stitch, and create a truly breathtaking heirloom with the Alice's Country Diary Quilt book. Beautifully presented in hardcover, this inspiring guide combines English Paper Piecing (EPP), hand embroidery, and quilting to create a stunning 68in x 68in quilt celebrating the beauty of the natural world.

Inspired by the changing seasons and the quiet charm of the countryside, the quilt features exquisite embroidered wildflowers, insects, birds, and botanical treasures, all framed within elegant English Paper Pieced rings. While the original quilt showcases Liberty Tana Lawn fabrics, any quality quilting cotton can be used to create your own unique interpretation.

More than just a pattern book, Alice's Country Diary Quilt is a complete stitching journey. From transferring the embroidery designs and learning essential stitches to assembling the finished quilt, every stage is explained with clear, easy-to-follow instructions. Whether you're discovering embroidery for the first time or you're an experienced hand stitcher, this beautiful project is designed to be enjoyed one block at a time.

Every embroidered block tells its own story, featuring the author's original botanical illustrations and fascinating snippets of plant lore. It's a project to treasure, creating not only a spectacular quilt but also a relaxing and rewarding stitching experience.
