Quilt Shop Cuckoo Clock with One-Day Movement: It’s Animated!

Made in Germany its the real thing! And it's animated: The cuckoo's call triggers the quilter to cut and the kitty to jump with joy! It's the perfect quilt for quilters! Crafted to resemble quaint buildings, the cuckoo clocks Jodie Davis collected over the years made her long for one designed after one of her favorite places: a quilt shop. Her dream became a reality when she contacted the Schneider Cuckoo Clock Company of Schonach Germany to shoot an episode of her TV show in Germany at the factory. When the cameras were ready to roll she pitched her crazy idea of making a Quilt Shop Cuckoo Clock for the video and they said go. Back at home she found that others loved her clock too. Like every cuckoo clock, on the hour and half hour the cuckoo emerges to proclaim the time. But on this clock the cuckoo precipitates a chain of actions. The quilter's arm moves to rotary cut the fabric painted on the table, the kitty jumps up and down on a stack of fabric bolts and a chimney sweep pops out of the chimney. The clock's pendulum is, naturally, a spool of thread. Jodie designed the quilts by the door of the clock using Electric Quilt 5. She scanned and emailed catalog images of a rotary cutter and fabric bolts to help the sculptors in Germany carve the props. Hand made in the heart of the Black Forest, the quilt shop cuckoo clock is created by skilled craftspeople, with some of the stages of manufacture taking place in their homes as has been the tradition for over a hundred of years. With the simple instructions Jodie encloses in the box and her online how-to video setting up your clock will take just a few tick tocks. Add a touch of charm to your sewing room with the clock designed by a quilter!
