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

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.

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

I am so excited to be part of the 2019 Virtual Cookie Exchange and Blog Hop hosted by Carol of Just Let Me Quilt. I hope you will visit the other bloggers and enjoy their many yummy cookie recipes.

I am a paper piece pattern designer from Wisconsin, and I LOVE to create holiday patterns. Last Christmas I designed this HOLIDAY BUDDIES table topper .

I love the Caroler, and thought he needed a caroling partner.

This is my CAROLING DOGGIE.

These CAROLING BUDDIES would make an adorable set of holiday potholders.

Let’s make some cute as can be Christmas cut out cookies to match my new potholders. My cookie recipe collection has been growing over the years. Some of my favorite Christmas cookie recipes were shared by friends and co-workers. The recipe I am sharing with you is for Christmas cut-out cookies and was shared by my secretary at school, Marge. I have always loved these cut outs, and they work especially well for thicker cut outs, which are my favorites! You can click on the title of the cookie to get a downloadable PDF version for your recipe files.

Marge’s Sugar Cookies

1 1/2 cups sifted confectioners sugar
1 cup butter (2 sticks)
1 egg
1 tsp vanilla
1/2 tsp almond flavoring
2 1/2 cups flour
1 tsp baking soda
1 tsp cream of tartar

Mix sugar and butter. Add egg and flavorings, mix thoroughly. Stir dry ingredients together and blend in. Refrigerate 2 hours (I cheat here).

Heat oven to 375 degrees. Divide dough into “manageable” amount to roll on lightly floured surface.

Cut with cookie cutters. Place on lightly greased cookie sheets.

Bake7-8 minutes.

Cool and frost with your favorite frosting. I am going to cheat and buy some canned vanilla frosting.

All paper pieced patterns are available on my Made By Marney ETSY SHOP. CYBER WEEK SALE: Most patterns are 20% off until December 3.

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.

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

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

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!

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

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

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!

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!

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!
