As summer approaches, I am anticipating playing my newest passion in the park, Pickleball. All winter I have beaten the blues by socializing with 8 friends at indoor pickleball, while wearing masks.
I even sewed matching “pickle masks” for our teams. But I can’t wait to get back outside and play at some of the local courts in our city parks.
So when my son Brady suggested I create a Pickleball Gnome, I knew he was absolutely right. How had I forgotten to make a gnome doing my favorite sport?
You can get both patterns as a set, plus the directions to sew these cute as can be potholders.
Or get the paper pieced block patterns separately. Here’s the “Dinker”, which is a short shot.
And here’s the Pickleball Slammer, which is my favorite shot!
I’d love to hear from any other pickleball enthusiasts! What are you doing to promote pickleball? Where do you love to play? I’m in Wisconsin, so we are limited in winter to a tennis center or YMCA.
If you are looking for some quick Easter projects, you might enjoy these paper pieced blocks…
Here is one of my newer Gnomes Blocks. The EASTER BUNNY GNOME BLOCK would make adorable potholders or a pillow.
The EASTER TABLE RUNNER PATTERN has 6 blocks of bunnies and chicks. I have these potholders hanging in my kitchen right now!
These projects were created by Marilyn using the above pattern. Great job!
HAPPY EASTER BUNNY AND DUCKY POTHOLDERS are super cute, and can be used in other projects, too.
Didn’t Lisa do a wonderful job making this Easter table runner using the HAPPY EASTER BUNNY BLOCK?
Edith used my EASTER BUNNY 2 BLOCK to make this adorable Easter tote. I love seeing what you are making with my patterns. Please share your photos!
Happy Easter to all!
Since St. Patrick’s Day is right around the corner, I am highlighting some of my St. Pat’s designs this week.
If you want a quick and cute kit for a LEPRECHAUN GNOME PILLOW you will find this kit available on RebsFabStash online quilt shop.
Or you could just order the LEPRECHAUN GNOME BLOCK.
This is my newest LIL’ LEPRECHAUN GNOME BLOCK pattern.
I used the Lil’ Leprechaun in this cute as can be kitchen towel…
The LUCKY LEPRECHAUN is my most popular block this month. His nose is a stuffed fabric yoyo.
Here he is in a mug rug…
And here’s LEPRECHAUN.
This is a sweet table runner that my customer created using LEPRECHAUN and CLOVER LEAF.
Carin shared a photo of the Lucky Leprechaun Journals made by her friends. Aren’t they just the cutest?
I’d love to see what you have created with my Leprechauns!
So many customers are asking for more GNOMES. If you are looking for a paper pieced gnome for every month of the year, you can pick and choose the 12 you like the most to make your gnome quilt….choose a Gnome for every month. Here are some of my newest gnomes.
For the EASTER BUNNY GNOME I lucked out and found a scrap of this great basket weave fabric. The most fun was finding some adorable Easter egg buttons from Hobby Lobby to fill my basket. Click on HOBBY LOBBY if you want to find the same eggs. These buttons were actually in the craft department by the scrapbooking supplies. But you could hot glue or sew anything in the basket…tiny buttons, small flowers, or a mini chick! This gnome would be great for the month of April.
The GNOME WITH PUMPKIN would work nicely for October or November.
The WEENIE ROAST BLOCK is the first in a series of new CAMPING GNOMES. I’m having so much fun with these blocks.
The GNOME IN CANOE block pattern is the second in my CAMPING GNOMES series. I’ll be making more of these designs, and would love some input for more ideas for these cute campers! Please email me at maryannhertel@gmail.com with your thoughts.
Here’s a cute paper pieced mug rug pattern just in time for Valentine’s Day. You will find it in the January/February 2021 issue of McCalls Quilting.
This HEART BANDIT MUG RUG is cute, cute, cute! The magazine has full instructions for paper piecing the raccoon block and consructing the mug rug.
The sassy little raccoon block is easy to complete in a day. You could have some sweet Valentine’s gifts done in no time.
Wrap up this mug rug with a coffee mug and some hot cocoa!
One of my customers, Nickola, requested a gnome couple holding hands. GNOME LOVE is now available on ETSY. This would be so cute for February projects. I am going to make a potholder for a wedding. What would you make?
Here are my latest additions to my paper pieced Gnome collection.
GNOME IN A TRUCK is a combination of my 2 favorite things…red trucks and gnomes! I was so happy with this sweet gnome, that I made his girl friend…
GIRL GNOME‘s braids have small pieces, which makes this an intermediate level pattern.
This GNOME WITH A HEART has been very popular for Valentine’s Day projects. I’m making a sofa pillow. What are you using it for?
Happy Valentines Day … will you be my gnomie?
January is always a tough month for me…getting through 5 weeks of winter can be grueling. I stay in Wisconsin, and take advantage of the snow with some cross country skiing and snow shoeing. AND I decorate with paper pieced snowmen. They can stay in place until Valentine’s Day or beyond, so it’s an easy decorating theme.
These 2 cuties are from my newest book, PAPER PIECING ALL YEAR ROUND. With 24 block patterns and lots of cute projects, this book is a good bargain.
I have my SNOWMAN TABLE RUNNER on my dining table this month. And wouldn’t it be adorable with this GNOME SNOWMAN used for the blocks? He has been one of my hottest sellers this month.
Just in time for the Super Bowl, I have a FOOTBALL GNOME!
This block pattern includes an entire applique alphabet for the flag and even numbers. You can customize your FOOTBALL GNOME with any team letters or numbers!
Football Gnomes would make adorable potholders, pillows, or quilts. Here’s a pillowcase pattern that would make your sports lover sleep better…
Is it obvious who I watch on Sundays? Well, I’m not prejudiced, so here are some of the many other football pillowcase patterns that I offer on ETSY.
I can’t show them all here. You’ll have to search my shop on ETSY if you are looking for your favorite team.
If you are looking for more snowman or football paper piecing patterns, and have a great suggestion, please email me at: maryannhertel@gmail.com
I LOVE to hear from you!
