Sieglinde Schoen Smith

Mother Earth's ABC is inspired by Sieglinde Schoen Smith's award-winning quilt and children's book, Mother Earth and Her Children. Each page features a beautiful illustrated letter, embellished with whimsical butterflies, bumblebees, and woodland creatures. A charming tale tells of the coming of Spring and the transformation of a shy seedling into a glorious Summer flower. What a delightful way to browse from A to Z!

It's easy to tranfer Sieglinde's alphabet onto your own sewing projects. Sieglinde provides help on making the appliques, as well as tips on the three basic embroidery stitches she uses to illustrate her letters.

Sieglinde Schoen Smith is an award-winning quilter, an expert embroiderer, and a gifted artist. Exactly a century after the original book was published, Sieglinde created a unique quilt that retells her favorite childhood story. This masterful work, titled Mother Earth and Her Children, captured the coveted Best in Show award at America's most prestigious quilt show, inspiring Sieglinde to publish her first book for young readers, also titled Mother Earth and Her Children. Sieglinde lives in Carlisle, Pennsylvania.
