New Colors for Spring and Summer...

Earlier this spring I decided it was time to "revisit" my first Seasons in Patches patterns. I designed these patterns over 6 years ago and I thought it would be fun to see how these would look with the new colors and prints that are popular today. It was nice to work on the Spring and Summer set, especially with our spring that we have (well, I guess I should say haven't) had here in Pinedale. We woke up to a few inches of snow on Memorial Day...phew, almost had to do some yardwork! It was nice to have the excuse to work in my sewing room though! Hopefully we will be able to get some flowers planted in the next few weeks...


Spring

I used Fig Tree's Gypsy Rose. Instead of doing multiple florals and prints like on the original...I stuck to just the coral pink fabrics. I really liked how this turned out!



Summer

I didn't really change the color scheme all that much...just a little brighter, fresher and a few more florals! You just can't go wrong with red, white & blue!

Click on the link to the right that says "Seasons in Patches Pattern Ideas" for the instructions! Check back often more ideas!

New Holiday Patterns

I finally have gotten done my new Holiday in Patches wall hangings and patterns, just in time for quilt market! Phew! These are similar to the Seasons in Patches patterns...but have decided to work on some of the holidays for a bit.


Snowflake


Gingerbread Man
(I think this one is my favorite!)


Stocking


Holly




Included in the Stocking Pattern are the instructions to make a 4 Block Wallhanging. You can use any of the Seasons in Patches patterns or Holidays in Patches patterns to make it!


I have got quite a few other quilts and wall hangings almost done. I wanted to get some more pattern ready for the Spring quilt market...but being a mom,I don't always seem to get everything done on my list! But I have an awesome headstart for Fall!
