Snow Leopards are the mysterious beautiful ‘Ghost Cats’ of the Himalayas, living as stealth predators on the high Tibetan Plateau…seldom seen but the subject of legends. Their wide paws act like snowshoes, and their huge fluffy tail is a counter-balance as they leap across treacherous mountain rocks, used like a blanket to protect its face when sleeping.

Our Free Quilt Pattern features this solitary big cat, set in a snowy alpine setting. To make this 59″ x 51″ quilt design, you will start with the central 36″ x 44″ panel. Use 3 Hoffman Hand-Dyes, a Stonehenge texture, and a Kona Solid Black to piece the mosaic-like border, which mimics the leopard’s spots.

The Snow Leopard represents stillness, a solitary existence, self-reliance and super sensitive perception. Remind you of somebody you know?

Nothing beats the thrill of seeing a Bald Eagle in the wild, a symbol of freedom as the American National Bird. The American Bald Eagle is an Endangered Species comeback story, and to many of us it also represents not only patriotism, but also our commitment to save those species who are still on the brink.

In this week’s Free Quilt Pattern we’ve captured the moment of an Eagle about to take flight, set against a dramatic Sunrise/Sunset sky. To make this 65″ x 65″ quilt design, you will start with the central 40″ x 44″ panel. Then piece the “Feather” corner blocks, and use the coordinating Eagle stripe to make the border.

By 1963, with only 417 nesting pairs of bald eagles remaining in the country, and fewer than 30 nesting pairs remaining in California, the species was in danger of extinction. Following enactment of the Endangered Species Act, we listed the species in 1978 as endangered throughout the lower 48 states. Although the Bald Eagle was de-listed in 2007, the raptor is still protected by a federal law passed by Congress. Visit eagle.org for more history on this iconic bird.

A luminous flying Owl emerges from a rainbow-hued mandala, in tonight’s exclusive Free Quilt Pattern….in a shimmering prism of light and color.

To make this 57″ x 50″ quilt design, you will start with the 32″ x 44″ central panel. The pieced border emulates the shimmering colors, with 3 Hoffman Hand-Dyes and 2 Northcott blenders, giving the effect of expanding waves of energy.

If The Owl is your spirit animal, or the Owl is bringing its symbolism as a medicine animal, it brings the power of wisdom and intuition, to help see the truth behind an illusion. Owls have been revered since ancient times, in folklore and indigenous storytelling, as mysterious creatures that have a magical vision in the darkness.

Whether this is a Lap/Nap quilt, or an inspirational wall hanging, this quilt is sure to bring dreams of mystical insight and transformation.
