Back Cover Information

Make your own quilts in the style of Sieglinde Schoen Smith's award-winning quilt, Mother Earth and her Children. This charming collection, four quilts—Spring, Summer, Fall, and Winter—celebrates the miraculous changing of the seasons. Each on features Sieglinde's unique blending of appliqué and embroidery. Delightful little children peek from behind trees, play with bugs and beetles, or sail off on adventures on top of floating lily pads, before they snuggle down for a long Winter; sleep. Each quilt is a window into the wondrous world of nature, magically seen through the eyes of a child.

  • Complete instructions for Sieglindes's unique blend of appliqué and embroidery
  • Hand-photography and diagrams to illustrate technique
  • Full-size, fold-out patterns for all four quilts

 

AuthorAbout the Author

Sieglinde Schoen Smith dazzled the quilt world when her hand-made, hand-emroidered quilt Mother Earth and Her Children, won America's top prize at International Quilt Festival. This masterful work captured the hearts of quilters and inspired Sieglinde to write a children's picture book, also titled Mother Earth and Her Children. The book was awarded the American Horticultural Society's Growing Good Kids Book Award. Sieglinde is a master quilter, an expert embroider, and a gifted artist. She lives in Carlisle, Pennsylvania.
