My friend Marilyn has created the cutest tote and table runner using my TURKEY block. Thanks so much for sharing!
I call these 3 Christmas designs my “Ho Ho Ho Collection”.
I haven’t had time to put these 3 blocks into a table topper or quilt, but I would love some ideas!

I’ve had some requests for more paper pieced woodland animals and you know how much I love designing animals!
I love this goofy weasel. He would work great with my other CUTE CRITTERS.
Here is a BADGER that I designed for my friend Wendy.
And this BADGER FACE has more detail and could be used by my fellow Wisconsin Bucky Badger fans.
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!

I am so excited to show you my sweet horse quilt. HAY GIRL was designed with the horse lover in mind.
These 11 ponies are adorbs! I’m trying to choose my faves, but I keep changing my mind.
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.

What could be cuter than a baby shark. Since sharks are all the rage, how about 3 sharks?
This is such a super simple baby quilt, that can be assembled easily in a weekend.
Yes, those teeth are created with rick rack. If your “baby” is under 2 years old, you may want to create the eyes with appliqued fabric rather than my favorite eyes done with buttons.
This is my son’s favorite quilt, SHARK ATTACK.
Six funky little sharks! Again, the teeth are made from rick rack and the eyes from buttons.
Have a lovely week!

Two more adorable pups have been added to my paper pieced dog block collection. Betty sent me photos of her sweet AUSTRALIAN SHEPHERD to inspire me to create this new dog block.
Here is a side by side comparison photo of my block and Betty’s pup.
I love how expressive he turned out! Find the pattern HERE on Etsy.
It was also brought to my attention that I did not have an IRISH SETTER in the collection.
Making an image that has wavy or curly hair is very difficult in paper piecing. It is all an illusion, made from straight seams. I have always loved the beautiful fur on an Irish Setter, and am pretty in love with his soft wavy ears. You can find this cutie HERE on Etsy.
Thanks for stopping by…

A customer request came from Angie for a HAVANESE paper pieced block similar to her pet.
After seeing this adorable Havanese, I was motivated to do it justice.
Sometimes it takes a couple of tries before I get an image that makes me happy. This image was my best HAVANESE.
Abigail sent this cute photo of a cushion she is making using my KING CHARLES block.
Kelsey sent this adorable photo of a pillow using my CORGI block. This reminds me of Andy Warhol’s paintings.
Elaine created these sweet pillows using the CHINESE CRESTED block pattern.
When a customer requested a block of a Chinese Crested, I asked if that was a bird… I’m learning.

Tish’s Adventures in Wonderland
I love my customers. They constantly motivate me. Kelly asked me to create a SKUNK BLOCK.
Creating paper pieced animals is one of my strong points, so this was a joy to create.
This Skunk Block would look great in my Forest Friends pattern, along with the other sweet woodsy animals.
Here is an Owl Tote and a Fox Tote created by another customer. Mary is using the animals from Forest Friends for her handy totes.
Now do you see why I love my customers so much? They are super creative!
This Hedgehog Block was paper pieced with the coolest background color.
Instead of adding buttons, this customer used satin stitching for the eyes and nose. Super cute, and a great idea for a baby quilt.
Keep sharing your awesome photos! AND, if you are in northern Wisconsin this Saturday or Sunday, visit me at the Northwoods Quilters Quilt Show in Marinette. I better take lots of northwoods patterns.

Magical and mystical unicorns…everybody loves them!
This adorable Unicorn Quilt measures 34″ x 41 1/2″. The unicorn is paper pieced; the flowers and alphabet letters are applique.
The unicorn is very easy to paper piece, and is great for a beginner. This unicorn would also make a super cute pillow. The alphabet letters and flowers are included in the pattern.
If you are looking for a smaller project, this paper pieced Unicorn block measures 8″ x 8″ unfinished. Here’s an idea of what it might look like in a pillow.
Have a magical week! I will be vending at the Mukwonago Quilt Show (Wisconsin) this Saturday and Sunday. I’d love to chat if you can stop by.

My friends from Julie’s Sewing Center in Green Bay, WI are featuring my Forest Friends pattern in a PAPER PIECING CLASS this Saturday, March 23.
You can learn how to create all six animals for the quilt, or do a smaller scale version by creating the table runner.
These animals are nice and easy, great for beginners! Both the lap quilt and table runner are in the pattern.
Thanks to Vonnie, for teaching this class. Vonnie also had some fun creating a tote from my Cute and Clever Totes book.
Love her choice of fabrics! This may be another class offered at Julie’s Sewing Center in the future. You can call their shop for more info…(920)965-0680.
