It’s a dream of many quilters: to create an heirloom quilt to be cherished for generations.
“McMillan Court”
If you long to sew that masterpiece, we invite you to bring your dream to life with an easy appliqué technique that will lead to you to an heirloom quilt in record time.
With reproduction fabrics and an ace up their sleeves, the authors of the new book Country Elegance share the key to simple, yet spectacular, quilts. Their ace? Wool appliqué.
Blanket stitch wool cutouts to pretty cotton fabric. No edges to turn under!
Today Leonie Bateman and Deirdre Bond-Abel (aka the Quilted Crow Girls) are here to share wool-appliqué tips from their latest book, the follow-up to their bestseller Elegant Quilts, Country Charm. Find out which tools and techniques work best for them in their guest post below.
FABRIC GIVEAWAY ALERT! Leonie and Deirdre have launched their own line of felted wool called “The Seasons” with Marcus Fabrics—and we’ve got a bundle of it to give away to you! Learn how you can win it and a copy of Country Elegance at the bottom of this post. Visit the Marcus Fabrics blog for another chance to win!
We’re both so excited about the release of our second book, Country Elegance. The wonderful team at Martingale has excelled once again by presenting the projects beautifully and making us look so clever!
It was an absolute joy making these 12 projects. We each designed six. We work independently—which most people are surprised to hear—using a combination of two of our favorite mediums: cotton fabrics and woven wool.
“Rhubarb and Custard”
Woven wool is such a beautiful medium to work with—we can’t get enough of it! People who haven’t tried it are surprised at how easy it is to manage. And because there’s no need to turn under raw edges, it’s just trace, cut, position, and sew. It doesn’t get much easier than that!
“Hampden Lane”
People often ask us what type of thread we like to use. Both of us love Aurifil 28-weight Cotton Mako thread. It’s a joy to work with and comes in a great range of colors. We take small blanket stitches on our work and we like our thread to match the color of our wool. That way, the appliqué is featured rather than the stitching.
Projects from Country Elegance
Some of the most important tools in each of our design studios include a light box for easy positioning of appliqués, sharp 4″ pointed scissors (a must-have), freezer paper, glue sticks, and staplers. There’s always something on the design wall and the brain tends to work way faster than the hands can. But that’s what makes the process so much fun!

The first antique wool appliquéd quilt I saw inspired me to start a project. I am currently working on a very large wall hanging made up of a number of blocks. I find it surprisingly simply and hugely gratifying. The project is also, in this stage, very portable and travels easily. After I complete this project I intend to do many smaller projects to reflect the seasons, and then would really like to make a quilt such as shown in Country Elegance. Thanks for the inspiration!

This selection of wool looks so inviting, my fingers itch just thinking about it!

I am crossing my fingers that I am a winner of the wonderful book and beautiful wool! 🙂

I’ve recently been collecting a small stash of wools and I am eager to try it.

—Judy F on September 5, 2014Doing wool applique is like comfort food after a summer of slippery cottons and seam allowances. Make a pot of coffee…. locate at least two chocolate chip cookies, and nudge your feline friend off her favorite armchair (which originally was your favorite armchair), and you are ready to rock and roll. Small pieces go a long long way, because you don’t have to add the seam allowances. I love the feel, the look, and the satisfaction of completing a project lickity split. Hope I win. I have the armchair, the pot of coffee, and the chocolate chip cookies all ready. Now I just need the wool to play with!

—Nancy on September 7, 2014I haven’t tried wool applique, but am excited to start. Is there a certain type of wool you have to use? Or will any wool work?
Hi Glenna, in the book, Leonie and Deirdre explain the type of wool they use: "We use felted wool, a woven wool fabric that’s washed and agitated in hot water and dried with heat. This process condenses and compacts (felts) the fibers and results in a lovely soft and fluffy fabric that won’t fray." You can find felted wool in many local quilt shops. Thanks for your question! –Jenny

—Debby E on September 7, 2014My first experience of wool appliqué was with the Crow girls – Leonie and Deidre. Wonderful pin cushions – simple and striking and different.
