Aurifil's designer of the month is Angela Yosten. I enjoyed reading her interview, and she shared a photo of her favorite quilt, a beautiful red and white Bear Paw hand-quilt by her Great-Grandmother. It was the inspiration for the block she designed for Aurifil's BOM.
Here is my version..
I am not sure what type floss Angela used for her stitching - I used a thick DMC, I think it is size 8. I like the rather large stitches, although I probably should have marked my lines first:-)
Of course, I added my version to Aurifil's Flickr Group for my chance to win this month's thread giveaway!
Downloadable instructions are at the bottom of Angela's interview -- Enjoy!
Linking up with Lyn at What a Hoot for BOM's Away!
Hi!! I'm sneaking in some link-ups between archive sessions. I really love this bear paw variation - it makes quite an attractive block, doesn't it?
