      Difficulty

      I designed this quilt to teach appliqué – so it’s great for beginners, and a fun and relaxing project for more experienced stitchers. If you can use your sewing machine, you have the skills you need to make this cute and cuddly woodland critters quilt.

      I used appliqué with fusible adhesive and Quilt As You Go to make a super easy quilt - almost all done on the machine. The pattern also includes links to videos teaching needle turn appliqué and machine appliqué with freezer paper, in case you prefer those methods.

        My first quilt!

        I’ve sewed all my life but was terrified of quilts. Wendi’s adorable animals inspired me to try and I’m almost done all the blocks. The free Moose was a huge bonus. Instructions are clear and patterns are easy to cut out and sew. Thank you Wendi for your helpful YouTube videos!

        A Really Really Fun Quilt

        I've been wanting to make one of these for a long time, and now have had the opportunity when asked for a woodland themed gift for a baby shower next week - I put myself under a bit of pressure to get this done on time. The hardest part was cutting up my precious batik fat quarters. Because I already had a gazillion thread colors from a long gone embroidery business, I had colors to match for all the appliques - I'd done it before, and decided I needed to satin stitch them all down. I'll be sure to post a picture when it's finished and has been gifted. It will be a treasured quilt for sure!

        loving thewoodland critters

        I am really enjoying theses patterns. this is my first go at doing applique. Your patterns and how to videos, have made it simple to do. Of course I had to buy a light box and the printable heat n bond sheets. I'm so glad I found your site. I will be purchasing more of your patterns in the future,

        Easy and beautiful quilt

        Both my cousin and I, skilled appliqué quilters, found the directions and videos well written and informative. We appliquéd the animals with a combination of quilting cotton and fleece/cuddle fleece. Although the fleece is a bit challenging to sew down, when used for the ears, nose, stripes and chest, it adds dimension to the quilt. We liked quilting each block separately which made assembling the top with a fleece backing fast and easy. This pattern will be a favorite when making baby quilts.
