Sew Sweet!

Some super sweet customers have been sharing photos of adorable projects they have created using my paper piece patterns. I LOVE to see their fun creations.

Bella is a first time paper piecer. She entered her CORGI quilt in her 4H competition and won first place. I love how she repeated the dog blocks in an Andy Warhol Pop Art inspired composition.

Andy Warhol’s
Marilyn Monroe

Sharon created this awesome neutral colored Dog and Cat quilt. She has incorporated blocks not only from me, but from lots of designers. This makes the quilt very interesting, since it’s not just one designer’s view point.

This is cuteness overload…Lori has made this adorable dog pillow for her sweet dog, Bear.

I am in love with Jennifer’s festive red, white, and blue Chihuahua!

Bella the Labradoodle

Here’s a photo of Bella, cutest little Labradoodle ever. This is my girl friend’s pet, and she wants a memory pillow of lovely Bella. Sweet Bella is slowly loosing her eyesight.

LABRADOODLE BELLA

LABRADOODLE BELLA is my newest dog pattern. Here’s the pillow that I made, too!

And here’s another new dog block to add to my collection of over 65 different dog breeds, the AFGHAN HOUND.

Coming soon is the WINTER BLUES BLOG HOP, a collection of bloggers and artists sharing projects done with the color blue. Can’t wait!

Cute Penguins…and a FREE PATTERN!

It’s that time of year…put away the Christmas decorations and let’s decorate using items that will be cute until Easter. Penguins work for me!

Penguin with a Stocking Cap
Penguin Wall Hanging

These super sweet penguins wearing a cute collection of different hats make a fun wall hanging or table topper. The penguins are paper pieced, and the flowers are appliqued.

Belly Button Penguins

I call these “Belly Button Penguins”. I made mine into potholders, but they would make great mug rugs too!

Belly Button Penguin #1
Belly Button Penguin #2

Have fun paper piecing this super easy Penguin Pillow.

A NEW LITTLE RED TRUCK AND A CUTE GNOME!

Hiking just 2 weeks ago on Arthur’s Rock near Fort Collins, CO. Beautiful! Now it’s back to work designing more holiday patterns.

Red Truck with Presents

Hot off of my design table is the RED TRUCK WITH PRESENTS. This adorable little red truck pairs nicely with my LITTLE RED TRUCK block from last Christmas.

I love them together as potholders or pillows.

My friend Shelley used photos of her grand kids in the windows. Super cute!

My Gnome obsession is over the top. Here’s a GNOME WITH MUSHROOMS block pattern that makes an adorable pillow.

GNOME WITH MUSHROOMS

I’m loving designing for the holidays, and will be sharing lots more soon…

More Cute Critters

I’ve had some requests for more paper pieced woodland animals and you know how much I love designing animals!

Weasel

I love this goofy weasel. He would work great with my other CUTE CRITTERS.

CUTE CRITTER POTHOLDERS

Here is a BADGER that I designed for my friend Wendy.

BADGER

And this BADGER FACE has more detail and could be used by my fellow Wisconsin Bucky Badger fans.

BADGER FACE

I used this BADGER FACE for a TOTE BAG. The pattern to sew this tote can be found in my CUTE AND CLEVER TOTES book.

Thanks to my fun customers who always motivate me to keep creating!

HAY GIRL

I am so excited to show you my sweet horse quilt. HAY GIRL was designed with the horse lover in mind.

Hay Girl Quilt

These 11 ponies are adorbs! I’m trying to choose my faves, but I keep changing my mind.

Palomino
Dusty
Nicker

These are my top 3 picks…how about you? I’m not sure what was more fun…designing these beauties or naming them! My friends helped with the names…

My daughter, Jesi, was an avid horse rider in her youth. I’m sure she will love this lap quilt for her couch.

The Cat’s Meow

We had an early season snowfall in Wisconsin…check this out.

Last week…

Today! Is this what they mean by “snow on the pumpkin”?

The Cat’s Meow

This is my newest Halloween quilt design, THE CAT’S MEOW. My very creative customer Mary created this sweet wall hanging, using this pattern.

Every time Mary makes a quilt, she makes an extra block to add to a sampler quilt. She is saving this bat block to include in her future quilt. What a great idea!

I love all of these adorable black kitties. This one might be my fave…how about you?

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!

Jolly Jack O Lanterns

It’s my favorite time of year…I love decorating for Fall.

Fall Garland

I love these paper pieced Jack O Lanterns. They look so cute with my garland and wreath.

Jack O Lantern Table Topper

These jolly pumpkins are fun to sew.

My JACK O LANTERN TABLE TOPPER pattern is fun to make.

Look how cute the pumpkins would look with some of my other Halloween blocks…

My clever customer Sharon added my GHOST BLOCKS with a pumpkin for an adorable table runner!

FREE HALLOWEEN BLOCKS

Visit ETSY to find my FREE HALLOWEEN BLOCKS. Be aware that any item I sell on Etsy I am charged 20 cents, even if they are FREE. Therefore, I have to charge my customers the 20 cents or it would cost me a fortune to list a free pattern 🙁

I’d love to see how you are decorating for Fall!
