{Been Busy}

I feel like I have been busy, busy, busy in my sewing room...and it sure looks it!  My goal for this weekend is to get my room organized...I keep losing things and am spending to much time looking for them.  It's never a good thing, because it just means less time sewing!

Here are some of the new projects and patterns I have been working on...patterns should be coming soon! 

 I have been working on a log cabin quilt...I have always loved the simplicity of this block.  You can make it scrappy or use just 2 colors...either way, you can never go wrong.  Just need to finish piecing a few more blocks...can't wait to see the finished project! I have loved working with this beautiful line, Tapestry by Fig Tree Quilt Co!

 My other project is making up little potholder kits using the Candy or Mini Charms from Moda.  I think precuts are the best thing ever...I love being able to sit down and sew without all the extra time cutting. Definitely a good thing!

 And then my daughter thought that, since it was Spring Break,it was an absolutely fabulous time to start a quilt!  Who could say no to that cute face!

So, we started her quilt. As I cut pieces from a Hello Luscious layer cake, she stayed busy stacking.  She loved picking the colors and loved helping sew them together.  We have finished sewing the blocks and now hoping to sew it all together this weekend.  With school back in session, along with all of the other activities and homework...not much else gets done!

{Spring Patterns}

Well, I am only a few months behind in adding these new patterns that were introduced at Fall Quilt Market!  I am also in the process of setting up an online store besides my ebay and etsy storefronts I currently sell my patterns on.  I keep thinking I will be organized and yet January and February have flown by with not much of what I wanted to get done being done.  
I am working on a new summer series of Seasons in Patches, some throws using precuts and tablerunners!  My goal ia to take the first project on the pile and completely finishing it.  So far it is working and I have finished projects and just need to work on the pattern...so you should see the new patterns in the next few week... I am excited!

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!

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.

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!

New Seasons in Patches Patterns!

I have been sewing away in my sewing room and have finally finished my new Seasons in Patches patterns! These were alot of fun to create and now I am itching to redo my first series of patterns with new fabrics and colors.

I think they turned out pretty cute, if I may say so! :)
