Pocket full of Sunshine

A couple weeks ago I posted a sneak peek of my new design, Pocket Full of Sunshine, and I recieved many emails asking me when the pattern would be ready for sale. I'm happy to say that this pattern and all my new patterns will be on my website by early next week.

Pocket Full of Sunshine was designed with a Sunkissed layer cake by Sweetwater for Moda. I loved working with this fabric – so colorful and bright, it’s bound to make you happy!

Snuggle Blocks

Snuggle Blocks is my latest quilt design. I designed this Baby/Toddler pattern using Love U by Deb Strain for Moda.

All you need is some fat quarters and a little border and binding fabric and you’re all set.

Oh … I should tell you about the binding. I am having so much fun with binding these days. Snuggle Blocks has little tabs sewn on with the binding. So easy and so fun!


Thanks for stopping by and please come visit my website to see all my patterns.

Green Tea

Here it is ... The last of my five new patterns. This one is called Green Tea. I love the Meadow Green and Currant Jam fabrics in the Mill House Inn collection by Figtree for Moda and I thought they were just perfect for this design.

The binding has a little something special: as a finishing touch, small triangles are sewn into the binding.

All of my new patterns have been posted on my website.

Thank you for all your sweet comments and emails about my new patterns. I love to read them!

Frosted Squares

Introducing another of my new patterns: Frosted Squares. Yep, I used a Moda Layer Cake for this one as well. Frosted Squares measures 74" by 87". For my design I used Mill House Inn by Joanna Figueroa for Moda.


I have one more new design that I am almost ready to share with you. I hope to have it posted on my blog this weekend.

Thanks for coming by!

Charm Drops!

I posted a sneak peek of this new pattern a few months ago, and now here is the finished quilt design -- it’s called Charm Drops.

I played around with the border on this pattern and changed it many times, but in the end I decided that simple is best for this one. The fabric collection is called Simple Abundance by Bonnie and Camille for Moda.

I'm so happy with the way this quilt turned out. I think Charm Drops is a sweet little pattern and I sure hope you like it.

I have three more new pattern designs finished and ready to show you, I will be back to post pictures very soon. Thanks for coming by!

Sew Pretty for the Holidays

I have several new patterns to show you over the next week. Here's the first one called "Sew Pretty for the Holidays". With the Holiday season just around the corner, I couldn't resist creating a new apron with the Figgy Pudding collection by Basicgrey for Moda.

I'm really going to enjoy wearing this apron over the Holidays. I can just smell cookies baking in the oven!


More to come ...

In My Studio

My favorite place to be in the morning is definitely in my studio, and this morning has been no exception. I was up early making these blocks for a new pattern. It's far from finished but I am having so much fun designing with this fabric line that I wanted to share some pictures.

This fabric collection will be available in October. It's called Aster Manor by Three Sisters for Moda fabric.

Enjoy your day ... If you're looking for me I'll be in my studio all day! I will post more pictures of this new pattern very soon.

4 Patterns to give away!!

I have many new patterns coming and lots of exciting things going on in my studio that I want to share with you … but nothing is quite finished yet. So I have to keep it all under my hat, at least for the next little while.

In the meantime I was thinking that it’s a great time for a give away.

Leave me a comment on this post and on July 11th I will draw a name to win four of my patterns. If you are the winner you’ll get to pick your four favourites from all my pattern designs.

Enter to win – this will be fun!!

A Baby Quilt

... And my new Nap Time baby quilt makes seven new designs.
I really hope you like them!
All of my new patterns will be available on my website this weekend.

Nap Time

Sew Pretty!

They’re done! They’re done! I am so happy that all my new designs are completely finished, finally! It is such a long process but I do enjoy my job more than I can say. This is such a great feeling to have them all ready to show you. Over the next couple of days I will be posting lots of photos of them, and before the end of next weekend they will all be available on my website.

This is the first of seven new patterns. It's a sweet quilted apron called "Sew Pretty" and was designed using a Moda Charm pack.
Here is a close up photo of the little bunny and buttons that dress up this quilted apron.

There is much more to come, so I hope you will come back for another visit over the next couple of days!

A Little Sneak Peek

This past week has been a very busy one for me, with many new and exciting things going on.

First there are my 5 new patterns that are almost ready ... but not quite, so I can't show them all to you yet. Here's a little sneak peek of what’s to come - it's one of the blocks in my new sail boat quilt.

I’m not going to be able to participate at Spring Market this year. It's disappointing to miss the chance to share my designs and ideas with all the quilt shop owners who attend. But I will have my new patterns out very soon and I promise over the next week or so I will post some more sneak peeks for you.

Then there’s my new logo. Natalie at Modern Sugar helped me to bring together the design elements. She is very talented and so easy to work with. I hope you like it as much as I do. Thanks again Natalie!

I'm working hard to complete my new patterns. I'll reveal more glimpses of these works in progress as soon as I can, so I hope you'll visit again in a few days.

Pretty in Pink

I designed Polkadots & Pinwheels using a Moda Layer Cake from the Three Sisters new collection, Aviary. This collection is so beautiful, I just loved working with it and I am sure you will too. Click on the picture to visit my website.

Trip to the Flower Shop

Introducing my new table runner pattern, Flower Shop. This table runner finishes 25" by 40" and is designed with Patisserie by Fig Tree for Moda. It's not available on my website yet but I am happy to fill orders for it.

If you would like to order my new pattern just send me an email.
