We’re so glad everyone loved this design so much! Special thanks, as always, to Beth Hayes for her impeccable taste and selecting Into Africa for McCall’s QuickQuilts and the great job her whole team does with every issue. We’d been wanting to do something with animal skins for ages and will be looking for new collections and ideas now that we know many of you dig them as much as we do. We had a riot designing the quilt and getting all the prints into just the right place. It seems to take a considerable amount of time to get a quilt to look as though it was randomly “thrown” together with no thought at all right? Martha was already nervous about sewing it perfectly, knowing that it was for a magazine, but trying to get all those pieces sewn together just as we had drawn it just about drove her bonkers!
We’re sad to say that we don’t have a scrap of these fabrics left to offer and won’t be able to get any more, so we have to discontinue the Into Africa kits. We hate to disappoint so we’ve scouted out a couple of on-line quilt shops, listed below, that offer a great selection of animal prints, including many of that we used in our quilt and kits.
