Thread: Tutorial on Hickory Nut quilt blocks

Thanks for the info.
Bev

This just popped up on Pinterest when I searched "Quilting". I wasn't a member of the board (that sounded kind of cool - "member of the board") when this was originally posted and I am so glad I found it as it is SO awesome!!! Can't wait to try this. Thanks for posting the tut *Ü*

I'm anxious to make this table topper. Can you tell me where to purchase the hickory nut templates? I checked on-line at Joanns and did not find them there.

iluvsewing68: Here is Eddie's reply to a similar earlier post:

The templates are made by a quilt shop here in Arkansas called Hickory Hill Sewing Center. They have a website, but it doesn't have online ordering on it. They will, however, do mail order by phone, so if you want to call them to place your order, you can. Their phone number is (501) 318-2SEW. They have 3 sizes of templates, Small ( 2.5" finished block size ), Large ( 3.5" ), and Extra Large ( 6.5" ) .

I live in Hot Springs and also belong to a quilt club here through the extension office. We are called the "Crazy Quilters". I Loved the tute. I am in the middle of doing Grandmother's Flower Garden and I want to do this next. Thanks so much.
We meet the second Tues. of the month at 10 at the Garland county fairgrounds. Love to see you there.
