My newest book, PAPER PIECING ALL YEAR ROUND, has patterns for every month of the year. This book is hot off the press and can be pre-ordered on Amazon.

Here are 2 October blocks from my book made into Mini Quilts…

These 2 blocks are some of my many Halloween patterns. Check out what my friends and customers have been creating with some of my other paper pieced Halloween patterns…

Toothy Witch, Glinda the Witch, Frankenstein, and Dracula

This adorable wall hanging was created by Bernadette.

I have lots of different Witch patterns!

This adorable wall hanging was constructed by Christine. I love the fabrics she chose.

Wednesday, September 9, join me on C & T Facebook Live. At 2:00 pm CST I will be demonstrating how to paper piece the SEAHORSE BLOCK from my newest book: SEW MAGICAL. If you want to paper piece along with me, purchase the book now, so you will have a copy of the pattern.

I love this book soooo much…

This is the Seahorse Block that I will be creating on Facebook Live. The book also has visual step by step directions for paper piecing. If we don’t get the entire block done together on Facebook, it will be easy to use the book to finish the block later, on your own. To sew along with me, have some scraps of three different colored fabrics ready, similar to what you see above. For the background fabric, you will need approximately a Fat Eighth of fabric. That’s a piece that is 9″ by 21″. For the fin, a directional fabric is fine, and I will give you some tips as how to add a directional fabric to your paper pieced block.

The directions to make this Seahorse Baby Quilt are also in the Sew Magical book.

Soooo…tune into C&T on Facebook on Wednesday, September 9 at 2 pm CST. Get lots of free tips on paper piecing. Can’t wait to see you there!

I am super excited to share my newest book, SEW MAGICAL. This paper piece book is FANTASTICAL!

The 16 mystical blocks in this book are amazing. I can’t wait to see what you will do with them. Here are some of the things I came up with, and all of the directions for sewing these projects are included in the book.

This adorable lap quilt is so versatile. You can add any of the blocks from the book to create your own masterpiece quilt.

This super sweet Backpack would make the nicest gift for someone you love.

This quilt could be for a baby, or perhaps just someone who loves mermaids!

There are 2 pillow patterns in the book, so any of the blocks can be incorporated into a pillow.

Plus these 5 blocks…

This book is jam packed with fun for all you paper piecers! If you live anywhere near APPLETON, WISCONSIN, please join me on Friday, June 26 for my official SEND OFF for SEW MAGICAL. This Trunk Show is being held at FOX VALLEY QUILT COMPANY, and I will be there to meet you and sign books from 10 am -1 pm. The address is: 1400 W College Ave, Appleton, WI 54914.

There will also be a Quilt Show with 20 of my newest projects. Hope to see you on Friday!
