This adorable pattern includes all 4 blocks, LABRADOR WITH BUTTERFLY (spring); BEAGLE WITH FLOWER (summer); RETRIEVER WITH PUMPKIN (autumn); FRENCH BULLDOG WITH SCARF (winter). Use them to create pillows, potholders, or a lovely table runner for the dog lover in your life. You can keep these projects out all year!
As I started putting up my Christmas decorations, I realized I have plenty of Christmas tree skirts to choose from. They are all handmade and, of course, all paper pieced.
Any tree skirt pattern can be created as a table topper instead, just don’t cut the hole in the center. The BEARY-Y CHRISTMAS TREE SKIRT would also make a super cute table centerpiece.
When I am decorating using a more farmhouse look, I use this tree skirt.
I absolutley loved using my GNOME FOR CHRISTMAS TREE SKIRT last year when I decorated my tree with gnomes! I used some of these gnome patterns to create some gift bags and stockings, too!
Here’s a more traditional rendition of the Gnome Tree Skirt. I call it the CHRISTMAS TREE SKIRT SAMPLER, and comes with 8 more typical Christmas images.
My 2 newest Christmas related gnomes are both Mrs. Claus blocks…
Most of my patterns are 20% off through the month of November for CYBER DAYS! I hope this helps to motivate you to start some of your holiday projects! Have fun creating!
As Halloween is approaching, you might be looking for some cute and spooky patterns. Here are some of my faves….
BOO COLLECTION, a pattern with 6 blocks including these…
This collection of 6 Halloween paper pieced block patterns is so clever! Included with the blocks are patterns for a table runner and potholders. These 8″x 8″ blocks can be used in so many fun ways. Be creative and construct an entire Halloween quilt! Here is a quilt put together by Donna for her daughter, using some of these blocks….
The WITCH HAT pattern is very easy and would be great for a beginner.
Create some cute and spooky projects with this SPIDER block pattern.
WITCHY PILLOW is super fun to paper piece. Find just the right stripe for her stockings!
One of my best selling Halloween designs is IF THE SHOE FITS POTHOLDERS pattern. How great would these potholders look hanging in your kitchen this fall? The shoes have a large rhinestone sewn to the shoe flap, which is optional.
The WITCHY POO PILLOW pattern is detailed with the witch, broomstick, and lamp post making this a pattern more suited to an intermediate or advanced paper piecer.
This adorable addition to your holiday decor uses large rick rack as a border. I LOVE rick rack! Visit MADE BY MARNEY ON ETSY to see all of my Halloween patterns.

I keep my pillow on display all summer. These paper pieced blocks would also work great for potholders, or even a cute table runner. I would love to see what you could create using these gnomes!
I might try some patriotic gnome towels, too! Any other good ideas?
HOMEWARD BOUND is another of my favorite patriotic patterns. It includes paper pieced eagles, applique stars, and pieced chevron. What a great project for Quilts of Valor.
This adorable lap quilt was designed while I was vacationing in Hilton Head. I found the fabric in a super cute fabric store on the island.
I had a blast shopping for fabric that would work for the cute little “Hawaiian” shirts.
This Gnome has a unicorn floatie and sunglasses! He is ready for the beach.
This Gnome in his sailboat is definitely going on a pillow for my boyfriend, who adores sailing!
Playing in the sand…too cute!
When I discovered the fabric for this little shirt, with the tiny pink flamingos and palm trees, I went nuts! Do all of you enjoy discovering those special fabrics as much as I do?

After spending a few weeks in Hilton Head biking and relaxing, I discovered a super group of pickleball players that meet every morning to play. They are a local group, very friendly and welcoming.
Pickleball at Hilton Head, waiting my turn…
While I was vacationing, a gentleman contacted me to design a MILITARY GNOME. He is an Air Force veteran from the Korean War, and wanted a gnome saluting. Luckily, I never travel anywhere without my sketch pad. So between a few lovely bike rides on Hilton Head, I designed this gnome…
