I have made two more patterns for my Christmas collection. This Reindeer pattern is 5"x7", the same dimensions as my Santa Claus pattern. The Christmas Tree pattern is 4"x7." It's the same height as my other patterns, so that they can all go side by side together. You can now download my Christmas Tree pattern from Free Downloads section.
I am planning to make a series of Christmas-themed paper pieced patterns this year, and the very first one that I am presenting is Santa Claus. This one is 5"x7", and it is such a fun pattern to put together. Make sure to use different fabric for the white part of his hat from the beard. I chose the color green as the background to make the pattern really festive and colorful, but I could also imagine it being light blue to suggest snow. This pattern would be darling to insert into a quilt, pillow, table runner, and more projects. I hope you enjoy it!
It has been a while since I uploaded my last pattern. After taking a few classes at a community college, I have actually decided to go for a Graphic Design degree. With my background in interior design, I thought that I had enough skills and knowledge to crossover to graphic design without more education, but it turned out that this is a whole new design field that I will get to explore. Anyways, I am really excited to be back in school and I hope to share some of my graphic works in the future.
Meanwhile, I love to celebrate Halloween, and here is the first Halloween pattern that I designed. It is a witch on a broom, and I made mine to be 7" x 7". There will be more to come, so stick around and visit my blog again :)
Lately, my sailboat pattern has been one of the most popular selling patterns, and given the time of the year, it is not too surprising. So here is another fun pattern to add to your nautical collection. It adds a little twist to your ordinary sailboat. The dimensions of the pattern are 6" x 4" which is great for horizontal framing.
There is something about summer that makes us want to be closer to nature. I have always been a big fan of bird motifs, so I am happy to share these patterns with fellow bird lovers.
My latest pattern is a girl & a boy. Although I was never a girl who played with barbie dolls (I preferred stuffed animals and legos.), this pattern is for quilters who enjoy dressing up and styling characters as much as kids. I came up with 3 different ways for the girls and boys to wear their hair (see the picture below), and you can also add tights to a girl. I think that these little people can easily represent a grown up couple as well as children. This pattern would be great for making a square pillow or for framing. I would love to see what other people do with this pattern.
I finished a nautical wall quilt just in time to share on Fourth of July. I used my Anchor and Sailboat paper pieced patterns and added 1" x 1" tiny little squares all around them. Red + Blue + White. It is patriotic too, I suppose. Happy Fourth of July, everyone!
I have a new free pattern to share, and it is perfect if you are looking for an easy/quick paper piecing project. You can use this cute kitty face block as a template for a 4" x 4" coaster. Make a little quilt sandwich, and you can either machine quilt or hand quilt. I added some buttons for eyes, but you can choose to embroider as well. You only need a strip of the size 1.25" x 18" for bias binding. This pattern can be downloaded under "Free Downloads." Have fun, and please share pictures of your finished project with me!
The summer is here, and with the temperature peaking as high as 100 degrees every day in Austin, I am longing for some cool, breezy days by the beach. So, naturally the best way for me to have a little getaway in home studio was to design some fun, nautical patterns. I have seen a lot of Sailboat patterns in quilts, but I designed mine to be the same dimension as my Anchor pattern (5" x 6") and it can be easily made by paper piecing.
