Northcotts State Flowers and Pattern
Susan Leah Bringham
"America in Bloom
by Patti Carey?
I purchased the whole collection for the 50 states but can't find the
pattern that is used in all of Northcott's adds.
They do not respond to my request for a copy of the pattern so now I
am at a loss.
Can't find this pattern
I need it to make a very large quilt for school children to learn
about the states; their flowers and their birds. Have to get it put
together over the summer.
One pattern will work for both.
Thank you so very much for any help you can give me.

Found this blurb:
"PATTI CAREY, has been the advertising/marketing
co-ordinator at Northcott for the past 15 years.
She has made hundreds of quilts and several have been
featured in magazines such as McCall's Quilting,
The Quilter and McCall's Quilts."

I haven't seen a pattern, but
if you can make the map, you can fill in the states w/ the appropriate
flower fabric. Bluebonnets for Texas <g>
Or keep after Northcott until you get an answer in person.
One more blurb:
"the Canadian Head Office of Northcott Silk Inc.
Our 38,000 square foot office and warehouse is located
in a modern industrial park in the town of Woodbridge,
a suburb just north of Toronto.
This has been our home for over 10 years."
Good luck, Susan!

Thanks a lot. I am still stymied by the lack of pattern from
Northcott.
This quilt would be at least 5'x5' so you can see why I want a pattern
and don't want to crawl around on the floor trying to draw it.
Thanks,

use it for templates. You can fold it to table size and trace in
parts.
Wow! Now *I* want one too! Did you find a place that sells the
fabric in FQ packs for the whole USA? Did you have to buy large
pieces? I'd love to know where to get a small assortment. TIA,
PAT in VA/USA

Big pieces of butcher paper taped to the wall,
overhead projector w/ a stencil of a map on it; would this work?
I'm thinking of how we did this w/ historical drawings of our old
church building at Vacation Bible School one summer.
As Pat recommends, a school (or office) supply store might help.
Ask them at school about the projector.
We're going to talk you thru' this, Susan! <g>
Pat, the fabric is available in several stores; I've seen in at both
the Ft.Worth & Dallas quilt shows this year, packets of the fabrics,
usually in quarters or eighths; Northcott has a list of
"where to buy":
http://www.northcott.net/Pages/where_to_buy.htm
Also try : http://www.quiltshops.com/search.htm
I see the Stitching Post, Tattered Rabbit, and Bighorn Quilts are listed;
http://craftconn.com/ has them--ask about packets.
Or just stay here and Beg like crazy!!! <G>

I use a "Light Tracer" instead of an overhead projector (gave up trying
to find an inexpensive one!), but that's basically how I do almost all
my quilts.
I talked to my local Sir Speedy (Kinkos will do it too), and they can
enlarge a drawing onto 3' wide paper. Two pieces of that will get you a
6' wide drawing with no aching arms from tracing. Best friend did one
like that a couple of weeks ago, and it was miraculous. Can't wait to
try it myself. (Assuming I get a day free to work on design!)

You don't get a day off, Kathy; you have that car to pay for,
and all those paint lovers and quilt top makers to satisfy!
Get busy!

"America In Bloom" by Patti Carey isn't a map. It does seem to have
silhouettes of each state though.
I stumbled across this site while I was doing the Mall Crawl.
