Its time to dust off those bunny decorations. Let me help you with that!

Here are some of my favorite paper pieced Easter patterns…

All 6 of these bunny and peeper blocks are included in one pattern: EASTER TABLE RUNNER AND POTHOLDERS. Easy peasy patterns, and a great way to use up those scraps!

HAPPY EASTER DUCKY and HAPPY EASTER BUNNY are fast and easy and make great gifts.

I sewed tiny little egg buttons in the EASTER BUNNY GNOME basket. Too cute!

The LOP BUNNY is great for a pillow.

BABY BUNNY without a bow, or BABY BUNNY WITH BOW.

My all time favorite bunny pattern to date, BUNNY WITH FLOWERS. I have this pillow in my sun room.

And here are some new designs…

This HOT AIR BALLOON BLOCK pattern was requested for a baby’s quilt.

The TRACTOR BLOCK pattern could be added to any farm or farm animal quilt. Very cute!

The GUINEA PIG BLOCK pattern is my fave!

Thank you for continuing to send me photos of the adorable projects you are creating using my patterns…you inspire me 🙂

Growing up in rural Wisconsin on a quaint dairy farm, has given me a love for animals which is very evident in my designing. Lately I’ve had lots of requests from customers for more farm blocks and farm quilts, specifically when they are making my FARMYARD STARS pattern.

Since animal designs are a favorite of mine, this is a happy request. Here are some resent quilt blocks that I think will go great in a farm quilt.

FARMER GIRL and FARMER BOY are sweet blocks, and of course have to have chickens are their heads. I had a pet chicken when I was young…this brings back fond memories.

These quilt blocks are all 8″ x 8″ unfinished, the same size as the blocks in the Farmyard Stars quilt.

This fun little TRACTOR is very easy to paper piece, and would be great for beginners.

I’m also working on an entire collection of horse patterns such as this one, HORSE #4.

Even KISSING HORSES! This block was actually requested by a customer 🙂

Or a HORSE WITH FLOWERS! As you can see, something for everyone who enjoys farm animals. What would you like to see in your farm quilt?

If you have been looking for some new pooch patterns, here you go. My most popular dog pattern is DOGS ONLY…

This popular dog quilt offers 11 block patterns for only $10. If purchased separately, the block patterns would cost $33. Such a good deal to buy the quilt pattern. Since Dogs Only is so popular , I thought it was time to design another quilt based on pooches….

My DOG LOVER QUILT has 12 block patterns and the paw print pattern for the corners. That is 13 block patterns for $15. So much cheaper than buying them separately. I had so much fun designing these cuties! PRESS HERE to watch a video with more details for this quilt.

Here are some of my newest dog blocks; designed by request, but now also available to you.
