Email from one of our Customers:
I just had to take the time to say "THANK YOU" for making my fabric purchase at Dancing Bear fantastic! The biggest challenge I had was selecting from so many wonderful prints. You folks contacted me because one of the fabrics I had selected was not available and the lady (sorry, senior brain won't recall her name) was so helpful and patient with me in selecting a replacement fabric. The fabric came in a very timely manner and I was beyond pleased with the quality. On top of everything, you folks were honest enough to refund part of the projected shipping expense. Needless to say, this is just one of many orders I'll be making with Dancing Bear Indian Trader. Thank you for honoring a good way of doing business ... thank you for the joy the transaction and the resulting goods have given me ... Blessings! Gloria Winters, Sophia, NC

Dancing Bear "War Pony Quilt" Pattern
This project uses our native american fabrics
that we sell on our website!
We carry an extensive collection of Native design, Native Themed fabrics. All of our fabrics, we have a limited quantity. Many of the prints we have are out of print. What does this mean? Well when we are sold out, we most likely cannot get more. We also carry specific brands of fabric designers, including Alexander Henry, Michael Miller, Robert Kaufman, Andover, just to mention a few. What is Quilter's quality? This term means that the thread count of the individual fabric is higher than standard cotton prints. So generally, these have a solid feel and they are smooth to the touch. Fat Quarters, what are they? A Fat Quarter is a piece of fabric that is 18"x22". Imaging cutting one yard, and then folding it in half, then half again, & cut it. You will then have a Fat Quarter. If you want 1/2 yard, order two Fat Quarters, and we will cut it as 1-half yard cut. We will notify you if we do not have enough yardage. If you see something you like, be sure to get it now, we may not have it when you come back to our site. Thanks for looking at our fabrics. Feel free to call us if you have any questions about these fabrics!

The green PET fiber is 100% post-consumer content. By using the close-the-loop recycling chain Dream Green is made from a new generation of polyester fibers. Dream Green fibers set the standard by which all other environmentally friendly fibers are judged because Dream Green is clearly pro-environment in both it's raw sources and in its manufacturing process. Each pound of Dream Green equals 10 bottles saved from burdening our landfills. The number of bottles that you rescue with each batt used is shown beside the size of product purchased. Except for the light green color-Dream Green's quality, performance and function are indistinguishable from virgin polyester fibers. Dream Green is very soft and has excellent drape, wonderful consistency and strength. Dream Green is carded, crosslapped and needle punched. There is no resin or scrim to resist your needle.
You may confidently stitch up to 12" apart of as closely as you would like. Finished quilts may be dry-cleaned or gently machine washed and dried. Dream Green stays soft and supple. There is no need to prewash Dream Green. Under normal care- there is no shrinkage in Dream Green. Dream Green is excellent for both machine and hand quilting. Bonus! Your scraps and packaging are 100% recyclable!
This product feels the same as the regular thing! And it's eco friendly batting.

Dancing Bear "War Pony Quilt" Pattern Easy to paint, and sew!
|
Supplies needed:
1 fat quarter(fat quarter)of Red Tipis
1 fat quarter of Black Tipis
1 fat quarter of Beige Running Horses
1 fat quarter of Black Running Horses
Batting
Red Thread
Turquoise Thread
Red Acrylic Paint
Blue Acrylic Paint
Yellow Acrylic Paint
Small thin paint brush
Sewing Machine
Rotary Cutter or Scissors
Cutting board
Pins
Safety Pins
Directions:
Press both Horse fabrics so that they are not creased.
Use a paper plate as a palette, and small thin brush.
Water down the acrylic so that it is a bit thinner than the original consistency (not dripping, think of it as an ink).
You want to have it just right so that you can use the paint to soak in a bit. Practice on scrap material before using the Horse fabric.
-Cut the Red and Black Tipis in 4 long pieces 4.5” x 22”
with a Rotary Cutter or Scissors
-Pair the Red Tipis with the Black Horses and Black Tipis with the Beige Horses.
-Make sure to pay attention to the orientation of the designs.
-Pin one strip to the top and bottom of each piece of the horses fat quarters. Right sides together.
-Sew ¼” seam along the top and bottom of each horse fabric piece.
-Press the seams towards the center.
-Pin strips to both sides of the horse fabric pieces.
-Pair the Red Tipis with the Black Horses and Black Tipis with the Beige Horses.
-There will be an extra amount on these lengths, make sure to allow for the selvage to be trimmed.
-Make sure to pay attention to the orientation of the designs.
-Sew ¼” seam along the sides of each horse fabric piece.
-Press the seams towards the center.
-You have your two pieces.
-Pin the seams down, and use a decorative stitch to go along the edge of the Tipi -border of each piece, using a contrasting color for the thread. We used a decorative triangle stitch with turquoise colored embroidery thread.
-Cut a piece of batting for each completed mini horse quilt.
-Center horse fabric piece, with tipis on batting and use safety pins to attach in several places starting from the center and working out. About every 3”-4” place a pin.
Decorative quilting:
Outline horses with red thread.
Circles in the background with red thread.
If your machine has a free-motion feature, it works great for this design.
Drop feed dog in sewing machine and stitch moving the fabric around with your hands outlining the horses, or making circles in the background.
Variation:
You can make 2 of each color and make a throw size blanket with these panels. They can be sewn together to make a pillow case, placemat, table runner.
It’s really endless what you can do with them! Have fun!
