Marcus is pleased to present
a BOM program steeped in history,
from the designers
of Pieceful Gathering Quilt Shop.
Mother/daughter duo Carrie Quinn and Katie
Solberg combine their favorite print motifs and warm color palettes in ARABELLA. The collection centers around a floral print from the Smithsonian Museum and is supported with numerous prints from Carrie s personal collection of antique quilts. When trying to come up with a name,
Carrie & Katie wanted to use something that represented their family and the family s long history in this country.
Arabella is the name of the ship that their
ancestors sailed from England to New England on in 1630. Their ancestor, the Reverend George Phillips, led a group of English settlers up the Charles River to settle in what is now Watertown, Massachusetts, where he went on to be the founder of the Watertown Congregational Church.
The BOM quilt is a classic medallion style,
showcasing the beautiful prints in the collection.
Sampler blocks feature simple units that are suitable for beginners but will still challenge and delight the more advanced quilter.The 12-month program is organized so that quilters will begin constructing units for the pieced borders in Month 6, simplifying quilt assembly in Month 12!
The generously sized 84 square quilt will
add a touch of traditional beauty to any home.
