New Patterns, a Coupon Code and a Value Pack!

I’m so excited to be shar­ing a whole bunch of new pat­terns with you all  today.    They are all avail­able in the shop right now and, as a spe­cial offer for my blog read­ers, there is 30% off PDF pat­terns with the code ‘Happy’ until Decem­ber 10.    I fig­ure with all the run­ning around we all do at this time of the year you deserve a little treat for yourself!

First up is Bloom.   Bloom is a fun, fat quarter or scrap friendly quilt that fin­ishes at 75″ square.   I made this ver­sion using the gor­geous new range by Vanessa Goertzen of Lella Boutique called Sug­ar Pie.   Sug­ar Pie will be avail­able in stores next year.

Bloom is  based on a tra­di­tion­al “rolling stone” block with a twist.   The Bloom block forms a per­fect circle with 8 squares instead of squares and rect­angles for a fresh, mod­ern lookouts per­fect for your bed or couch.

There is also a mini ver­sion of the Bloom Quilt avail­able for a quick fix pro­ject or, to use as a gift this hol­i­day season.

If you’ve been fol­low­ing me for a while you have prob­ably noticed that I like to add a little some­thing dif­fer­ent to my mini pat­terns.   The Bloom mini includes mater­i­al and cut­ting instruc­tions for either a scrappy or sym­met­ric­al look.   You could make one, or both, and turn them into a throw pil­low with this free pil­low back tutorial!

Next is Wel­come Home, a lay­er cake friendly quilt pat­tern per­fect for a new baby, house warm­ing gift or just for someone spe­cial.   It’s super easy and quick to put togeth­er and a great size at 59″ square.

My ver­sion was made using Sandy Ger­vais’s new­est line Corner of 5th & Fun and some fun solids from Moda Fab­rics.    Per­fect for a new baby!   I can­’t wait to find some time to make a more grown up ver­sion of this quilt after the hol­i­day season.

If you’re any­thing like me you prob­ably have quite a few lay­er cakes in your cup­board wait­ing to be used and loved!   Square Deal is also lay­er cake friendly and also works with just about any range of fab­ric you have.    I’ve made a 2nd ver­sion in Tula pink fab­rics that looks just as great as this one made with Just Anoth­er Walk in the Woods fab­ric by Stacy Iest Hsu!

The pat­tern comes with instruc­tions to make either a lap or twin size quilt.   You’ll need a single lay­er cake, some back­ground fab­ric and a less than a yard of fea­ture print to make your own!

I used left over lay­er cake squares after mak­ing this lap sized ver­sion to put togeth­er this coordin­at­ing pil­low.   They look great togeth­er don’t they!

Last but not least (because it’s def­in­itely a favour­ite around here!) is Trinkets.  

My scrap bins are filled with fab­ric I love but sadly they always seem to be over flow­ing.   Trinkets was ori­gin­ally designed so that I could keep my scraps under con­trol with a fun & easy quilt I could make quickly or, over a peri­od of time.   I had it all worked out on my com­puter and then real­ised that the design also works per­fectly with fat quar­ters or pre­cut!  Per­fect right?!?

The pat­tern includes all the cut­ting and instruc­tions to make Trinkets in either a Baby, Lap or Twin size quilt!  I liked it so much I made one with pre­cuts of Bon­nie & Cam­ille’s Basic range and then made anoth­er one with fat quar­ters I had in my stash.   (The scrap ver­sion is com­ing slowly, I prom­ise to show you all once its done!)

My friend Tara also made one with pre­cuts of by Zen Chic and rumour has it her flat­mate has already expressed a lot of interest in keep­ing it.    I love the neut­ral col­our palette of Tara’s quilt!

All of the pat­tern comes with detailed instruc­tions and full col­our dia­grams mak­ing them suit­able for all levels of quilter.   Why not give one or more a try!

I know that decision mak­ing can be a little hard for some of us so I have also added a spe­cial value pack offer to the shop for all PDF pat­terns.   Just add 4 or more PDF pat­terns to your cart and enter the coupon code ‘VALUEPACK’ for a 35% dis­count at any time.

I sure hope you enjoy mak­ing them!
