We received the following question from one of our readers yesterday. Vickie asks: “I wanted to see if someone could tell me where/if I could get the patterns for the quilts that include Australian Stitchery from ‘Stitchery from Down Under’ in the June/July 2010 issue? I can’t seem to locate a website for them. Are the patterns available?”

The answer is that, yes, some of the patterns are available and were designed by quilters/stitchers other than those mentioned in the article. We regret having omitted this information in that issue and are printing a clarification in our October/November issue. And since you asked, I’m happy to post that information here, too:

Stitchery and Nine Patch by Julie Donovan (http://juliesquiltgallery.blogspot.com) was adapted from a pattern by Veronica Johnson (Georgia’s Flowers, American Patchwork & Quilting, Vol. 6, No. 8, 2006). The Secret Garden by Carrie Pippens was an adaptation of a design by Cheryl Goss (http://willowberrydesigns.typepad.com). Written in Thread by Carol Richardson was adapted from a design by Barri Sue Gaudet (Bareroots pattern #114, www.bareroots.com).

There are so many talented stitchers in Australia, many of whom offer patterns for their designs. Click on the blog links above to start your search for a pattern that speaks to you!

Happy quilting!
