That’s right! We’re again partnering with our friends at Martingale, this time to celebrate the release of the Quilted Crow Girls’ new book, Country Elegance.
With their first hugely popular book Elegant Quilts, Country Charm, design duo Leonie Bateman and Deirdre Bond-Abel won fans around the world. Now these talented Australian designers are back with stunning all-new designs featuring wool appliqué on cotton backgrounds.
Best of all, you’ve got TWO chances to win this free eBook courtesy of Martingale, PLUS a bundle of FQs from the Crow Girls’ gorgeous new group for Marcus, THE SEASONS WOOL COLLECTION, so leave a comment below, and on the Martingale blog too, to increase your chance of winning…Good Luck!
It seems Australian design influences are big here in the US quilting market, and around the world. Read more about some of the specific elements behind this exciting creative surge!
I hope I’m not too late to comment here too! Over the last two years I started working with and falling in love with wool and made a lot of projects with reproduction fabrics. So I really love that the Country Crow Girls have combined the two in the quilts of their book! The designs are real winners so I’m happy to add another “must do” to my “To Do” list!

Thank you for the wonderful opportunity to win your book. Your designs look beautiful and the fabrics yummy.
Love working with wool! Would be wonderful to win.
The designs and quilts are so beautiful! The wool on the pieced blocks is beautiful. Thanks for the chance at this awesome giveaway!
great colors-can’t wait to get them
I have been looking at the wools and love them. Then I saw threads by Aurifil to match. What could be better. The book looks very interesting. Thank you for the opportunity to win.
Absolutely love everything about the Crows, their patterns, wools, books and especially their sense of humour! Take a bow Deidre and Leonie, you’ve made all us Aussies proud.
I have really been wanting to try this. I love the primitive look that it gives to quilt. Thanks for the chance to win this.
I love the patterns and fabrics in the new book. I’m looking forward to giving wool applique a try.
I’m so impressed by these elegant projects. I just recently tried wool applique for the first time, and I’m hooked. These fabrics are so rich, and the projects are the perfect match. Thanks for the offer!
WOW! Sounds very exciting! I haven’t done enough with wool, but I surely would like to do more! I like handwork very much.
Looks scrumptious! Can’t wait to drool over all the projects!
Oh the pure fun of using beautiful wool on a pieced cotton quilt. So stunning these patterns…love the vibrant colors. Another great book from these talented women.
Such gorgeous, rich colours! I’ve never used wool before, in a quilt, but I’m ready to learn! :o)
Just looking at the pictures of the book brings warm, comfy feelings of home! This type of applique seems more “accessible” and doable to me than needle-turn applique, and I think I could confidently tackle a small project. And the wools are just sumptuous – beautiful colors invite one to gather up an armful and create a family favorite for the wall or bedroom décor.
Love the colors of this fabric. Would love to try making one of the projects. Thanks for the chance.
The book looks so exciting and I love, love the colors of wool.
