Lunarcy Quilt: Year of the Tiger Block Release Day

I was, for a very long time as a child and teen, fascinated with big cats; especially tigers. So beautiful, sleek, powerful, mysterious – I had tiger shirts, tiger jigsaws, tiger books, tiger toys….. I even had a real tiger whisker, given to me by a keeper at the Adelaide Zoo. I loved everything about tigers (except the smell!). I would have probably traded a kidney for a domestic orange cat with black stripes in the likeness of Jim Davis’ Garfield, just so I could pretend I owned a mini tiger. 😀 Some girls loved horses, I loooved tigers.

While my tiger mania has eased over the years to a more casual, kidney-friendly admiration, the Year of the Tiger remains reflexively my favourite in the Lunar calendar. So it gives me great pleasure to finally be releasing the Lunarcy Tiger pattern today. Excitingly, it is also the last Lunarcy pattern to be released until Chinese New Year 2021, when we will celebrate the arrival of the Year of the Ox on time and in style. Despite everything in 2020, we’ve made it!
