I first decided to make this quilt after taking photos in my Christchurch garden one year. The sunflower garden were simply beautiful. I snapped plenty of photos and then used several to draw up the design. I then set about making my sunflower quilt (in 2006), writing up the pattern as I went.
To finish off the quilt, I echo stitched the background. Echo quilting is free-motion quilting lines that echo out from the applique shape like ripples when you throw a stone into water. I stitched each echo line further apart as I went, again to create dimension.... or maybe I was just getting tired of quilting and wanted to get finished sooner. Would you have guessed?

This collection includes 3 sizes, one for the 4x4 hoop, one for the 5x7 hoop and one for the 6x10 hoop.
For maximum versatility and accessibility, you'll receive instructions for preparing your applique shapes 3 different ways. You can use SVG files with your favorite electronic cutting machine; BERNINA Cutwork files to use with the BERNINA Cutwork Tool; or use printable templates and cut by hand.
StitchArtist is to create new designs from scratch. If you want to customize existing embroidery designs (including saving cut files for applique embroidery designs such as the monogram letters shown in a later blog post), I use Embrilliance Essentials.
In the photo above, this spiral crochet applique shows a bulky weight yarn, a worsted weight yarn and a DK weight yarn. Each one also used a different size crochet hook. This applique looks nice in many different yarns, yarn types and colors.
One big shift when aligning instruction with the science of reading is in the area of sight words or high frequency words. Many of us have been told that these words are not decodable and that students simply need to memorize them, leading to well-intentioned drilling with flash cards, fun activities like rainbow writing, and other strategies that are only quasi-helpful. These things work fine for higher learners, but they typically leave struggling readers floundering.
Enter heart words! This shift is based on the premise that the majority of high frequency words are, actually, largely decodable. For example, the words and, big, in and many others are completely decodable, following phonics rules without any deviation. Students can simply apply letter-sound correspondence to decode these words, which takes so much pressure off of kids trying to memorize these words in isolation.
