Second Star Quilt Pattern

I am SO excited to finally be sharing my Second Star Quilt Pattern with you! I have been working on this pattern for quite some time. This is my very first quilt pattern, and I designed it using Sarah Jane's new fabric collection Peter Pan for Michael Miller Fabrics. The title came from Peter Pan, and, more specifically, the phrase "second star to the right and straight on till morning." I wanted to incorporate two stars in the quilt, and I think the "twinkling star" produces a fun burst effect.  I hope you love it as much as I do. The block finished at 12''. The pattern includes the Flying Geese 4 x 4 method of construction and a quick way of making Half Rectangle Triangles. I am grateful for all the makers that tested my pattern for me. I wanted to share all of their creative variations and versions.  It's amazing...

Foundation Fabric Blog Tour

I was more than thrilled when Shayla from Sassafras Lane asked if I would participate in her Foundations Fabric Blog Tour.  Foundation is a fabric line designed by Shayla for Windham Fabrics  with the perfect rainbow palette. Ever since I released my Hello Pouches pattern I have wanted to do a little improv piecing work on the base of the pouches.  These fabrics gave me the perfect opportunity. I especially loved quilting my pouches with these prints. Each hand drawn print created the most perfect quilting lines to follow. I accented the rainbow patchwork with mini pipping which highlighted the colors so nicely.   I am also hosting a Sew-A-Long through the year of 2018. #12minisin12months A mission to create more mini quilts for my sewing space while connecting to other creatives and improving and learning new skills.  I couldn't pass up the opportunity to create my February Mini from this Foundation fabric.  Here...

Camden Street Satchel

I am beyond excited to be releasing this pattern!  It has been in the works for (dare I say it) years!  I am so glad that I can finally set it free. This bag made with one of my favorite products of all time, ByAnnie's Soft and Stable, that gives it great shape, and helps with ease of construct.  I quilted straight lines on my striped fabric.  And just to answer your questions now, the strap is made from a cotton fabric, and covered with a polypro strapping.  It is not leather, but give the appearance of leather, (which I love!) Includes a zippered pocket inside, to secure all your valuables. I love the opportunity to add a pop of color on the inside! Also a back slip pocket for easy access. It is available now as a PDF pattern that you can download.  But don't worry, if you are a paper pattern...
