The sun has gained strength and Brigid’s or Bride’s day is a day celebrating the Goddess of the Hearth and Smith craft. Also on this cross-quarter day, we light candles encouraging the sun to grow stronger and bring warmth to the land. Corn dollies and wheat stalk Brigid’s crosses decorate our houses, having been saved from last year’s harvest. We celebrate warmth returning to the land. Brigid is the Goddess most associated with this day and she is a Goddess smithcraft and art.
On this quilt are candles, a music staff, ink, quill and parchment, sheep, and shafts of wheat as well as the pentacle, tree in season, and the Sabbat name.
This is a PATTERN for a 24” X 30” appliqué quilted wall hanging.
It is one of a series of eight (8) that represent each of the eight pagan Sabbats (Samhain, Yule, Imbolc, Ostara, Beltane, Litha, Lammas, and Mabon).
Due to the complexity of some of the shapes, it is recommended for intermediate quilters who have some experience in fusible applique.
Images for tracing are included for all applique shapes.
Also listed on each pattern are the yardage requirements for both the backgrounds and appliques as well as border, binding and backing for each quilt. Each of the Sabbat quilts is an original design and tested extensively.
The designs of each one include a pentacle, the name of the Sabbat, and a tree that changes on each quilt to reflect the appropriate season.
There is a discount for buying all eight of them. Please see separate listing.
