Inspired by vintage beauty, Helen Stubbings presents a sweetly feminine palette of gentle duck egg blues, serene greens, blush pinks, and calming greys.
Perfect for your next treasured creation, explore this delightful collection and embark on the "Mary Mary" Block of the Month journey, where each stitch unfolds a story of timeless elegance. It features fabrics from Helen’s much-loved Molly & May collection and combines gentle colour, thoughtful design, and a lovely mix of techniques. The finished quilt measures approximately 73” x 73”, making it a wonderful size to enjoy and display.
The Mary Mary BOM begins in May/June, 2026 and is designed to be both enjoyable and achievable.
The pattern is provided in full and guides you through the quilt with clear instructions and full-sized layout guides, allowing you to work at a steady, comfortable pace.
This quilt includes a combination of:
- Appliqué (using Helen’s EasyAPP® method)
- Embroidery
- Machine piecing
The EasyAPP® technique uses iron-on, leave-in paper templates, so there is no tracing required, and the appliqué can be stitched by hand or machine.
The quilt includes simple hand embroidery using a stitchery panel from the Molly & May collection. While the panel contains 16 designs, only 8 stitchery blocks are needed for the quilt. The embroidery uses easy, traditional stitches such as back stitch, satin stitch, French knots, and more.
Helen will be sharing guidance and encouragement throughout the program, including regular demonstrations and an active online community where you can ask questions, share progress, and stitch alongside others working on the quilt.
Mary Mary is a quilt that celebrates thoughtful making, gentle stitching, and the joy of slowing down with a beautiful project.
