Bucklebury Manor is a medallion quilt which was designed to accompany my beautiful fabric collection ‘Bucklebury Chintz’. The collection includes gorgeous florals reproduced from some early 19th century fabrics and quilts in my collection of antique textiles. The central block of the Bucklebury Manor medallion quilt is inspired by antique quilts featuring Broderie Perse from this period.
This beautiful octagonal block features an unusual vase, the construction of which was inspired by the main floral and bird print from the Bucklebury Chintz collection. The vase is filled with an abundance of flowers and is surrounded by birds and butterflies.
Join Michelle to learn the age-old technique of Broderie Perse. The sample block is needle turn appliquéd but can be blanket stitched if preferred and both techniques can be taught in class as desired.
The pattern for the centre medallion will be included in the class fee, however, it is part of a full-sized bed quilt. The complete pattern will be available for students to order if desired. An optional kit for the centre medallion will be available to students for purchase and will include the Bucklebury Chintz fabrics used in Bucklebury Manor. Alternatively, bring your own fabrics to complete this project.
Broderie Perse is only limited by your own imagination so you can copy the Bucklebury Manor centre medallion exactly or use it for inspiration to create your own interpretation of this gorgeous block.
