What’s more fun than witchy-poos? I’ve just finished a new paper pieced witch block to add to my collection. I love designing Halloween images, so I am having a lot of fun this month.

GLINDA THE WITCH is my newest Halloween design. I have 3 more witch faces that would make a super cute table runner…

These 4 witches are so fun to paper piece.

Here are the cutest projects ever made by my customers using my paper pieced Halloween blocks.

Trick or Treat Sacks made by Joyce. She just learned how to paper piece.

With Halloween right around the corner, what will you create?

Congratulations to Lori Smanski, winner of the Northcott Fat Quarter Bundle.

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.

Adorable Tote Pattern

Believe it or not, once in a while I design a pattern that has no paper piecing. This tote is one of those patterns. Besides designing patterns, I also work part-time in a local quilt shop. Every year I design a tote pattern that works well with the Wisconsin Shop Hop fabrics. Lots of states offer a yearly shop hop featuring fabric about their state.

The Wisconsin 2018 fabric includes a panel fabric with 6″x 6″ square floral panels (the fabric pictured in the top left corner). I used the panels for the outer pockets.

The Plenty Of Posies Tote features 6 outer pockets and 2 inner pockets. It measures 14″ high, 16″ wide, and 4″ deep. This is a nice generous tote bag size! It is great for going to the market, using for a project bag (sewing or knitting), a beach tote, or an airplane tote(large enough for a lap top).

Here’s a closeup of one of the outer pockets. Each floral panel is a different Wisconsin state flower. This panel fabric could easily be substituted with any floral fabric, but if you want this exact fabric, you can call the shop where I work to order, beginning June 8: Quilt Essentials at (920)230-3680.
