Lammas, aka Lughnassadh, is a cross-quarter day, and a celebration named for the Celtic God Lugh. It is a day of games and competitions, traditionally to aid in the celebrations as well as to give people activities in between harvests. As the first harvest holiday, it is a time of, not only thanksgiving, but also “firsts”: loaf, fruits and vegetables. Body and face painting as well as masks are all part of the Warrior Magick that plays such a big part in preparation for the games.
On this quilt are deer, wine bottle, staves of wood, a sun-catcher, a mask, and a bowl of first vegetables as well as the pentacle, tree in season, and the Sabbat name.
This listing is for a PATTERN for a 24” X 30” applique 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.
