Hi there! I’ve had a few weeks off while getting my house ready to put on the Market. Exhausting and hectic but I have been working away quietly in the background here and today I’m so excited to tell you about my collaboration with a new company called PatternJam! PatternJam has two great brands through which you can purchase a few of my quilt fabric designs: PatternJam.com and Stitched Custom Quilts.
Through PatternJam.com you can now design your own ready-to-quilt panel! YES… design your OWN cheater top! In fact, the coolest thing is that after designing on their site and placing your order, PatternJam will print your design, ship it and it will arrive on your doorstep in about a week ready to quilt!
Here is a quick video to show how easy it is to create your own ready-to-quilt panel using PatternJam…
Pattern Jam is great when you need a gift for someone special or, in my case, if you know you are not going to get that Halloween quilt done for your daughter again this year! Now you can still give a custom quilt as a gift, but there is no need to piece or applique it. I used my Sweet Stars design for this Halloween quilt and my daughter is super happy with it!
Or maybe you want to practice your free motion quilting techniques on something that didn’t take you 50+ hours to put together? Design your own cheater top and you can start practice in a flash!
And, if it’s a completed quilt you are after Stitched is the best way to order a beautiful, high-quality, custom quilt for your child or for someone you know. You can select the fabric choices you’d like in the quilt, even add a name to the quilt. After ordering, the folks at Stitched will make your quilt with super soft minky on back and edge-to-edge quilting. It will arrive at your doorstep in 7–10 of placing your custom order. Cool right?!?
I’m excited to announce that now on PatternJam and Stitched, you can customize and purchase my Sweet Stars, Down South and Alice designs as convenience panels or finished quilts!
I ordered the Alice design and had it quilted locally. It looks amazing on the couch and I kinda loved just getting to do my favourite bit… the binding!
Emily from PatternJam has very kindly sent me a spare ready to quilt top to giveaway to one lucky person and, as an added bonus there is an additional piece of coordinating fabric for you to use for binding or in another one of your quilt tops!
All you need to do to enter is leave a comment on this blog post by this Sunday night (30th of October) telling me which one of the designs is your favourite! I’ll select a winner on Monday and make the announcement here. Giveaway is now closed. The lucky winner is Leanne. Congratulations Leanne, I couldn’t agree more 🙂
PatternJam are also providing a coupon code to purchase a quilt or panel for 20% off. Use coupon code SHEQUILTSALOT at checkout to receive the discount one your order until November 1st!
Have a great week!
Oh I love your colors. Alice is my favorite.

Thanks for the giveaway! It’s hard to choose, but I think I like Down South the most!
I love Alice!!! Just beautiful:)
Down South is my favorite, but they’re all awesome!
What a great idea! They’re all nice but I think I like Alice best!
I like them all.….
Oh my goodness how cool is that !! I love your Down South design and have the pattern but this panel looks way quicker to make ??? thanks for introducing these fabulous panels ?
Congratulations Leanne, can you flick me a quick email so I can organise to get the Down South panel (and binding fabric) sent to you.
ummmm how awesome — thanks so much Peta — email sent xxxx I look forward to praticing some FMQing over the christmas break on this gorgeous panel !!
These are sooo cool! Such a fab idea!
I adore down south!! Would be so fun with any design style 🙂 pattern jam is one of my favorite blogs so I’m glad to know you partnered with amazing company. (I plan on following you for your binding tips since you said it’s your favorite )
They are all so lovely but my favourite is Down South!
Hard to choose love them all but I believe Alice is the winner.
All are very pretty but my favorite is Down South.
I just love the elephant quilt
I love them all but Down South is my very favourite. Fantastic idea!
I LOVE Alice!
Down south is my favorite! Beautiful!
Alice looks fun, that’s my choice!
What a hard choice to make. Your Alice quilt is exquisite. Thanks for the giveaway.
I love the Alice design. The colours are just perfect.
Hi Peta, all of the quilts you have posted on your website are very beautiful! I do love the colors in the Alice quilt and would choose that as the favorite!
I love your patterns. Sweet stars is my favorite.
I watched the video. The process is very impressive. Panels are certainly much higher in quality now than when I started quilting in the early 90s!
Wow! All of the patterns are great, but I think I like Sweet Stars the best. This is a great idea-thanks for sharing!
Definitely Alice is my favorite! What a cool idea!
Down South is my favorite.
Down South has been on my list to make since your pattern came out! What a great idea to get a quilt you want to make without having to make it! Thanks for the opportunity!
It was hard to choose but I think that Down South is my favorite.
Love the colors of the Alice quilt.
I like Down South ?
Like the bright colors. Thank you for chance to win.
Down South is my favorite. What an ingenious idea!
I love Down South! We spent many years in the South during my husband’s military career.
Alice is my favorite of your quilts. It is simple but has very powerful eye appeal.
All three quilts are beautiful but I would have to say Alice is my favourite. One simple big block with switched out backgrounds tricks the eye thinking different star block yet all nine seem so perfectly balanced. Lovely.
I love the Sweet Stars Halloween quilt.….such gorgeous fall colors!
This is a really cool idea when you’re short on time. I think Down South is my favorite. Thank you, peterstankovich@comcast.net
This is a marvelous idea! Thank you for sharing. My favorite is the pinwheel star blocks! Just craaaazy for pinwheels!!! Good luck to everyone!
I think I have to choose the Alice quilt unless the Halloween version was available. That was very cool
All three designs are great, but I would choose Down South!
Great idea! Sweet Stars is my favourite.
LOVE YOUR QUILTS! “ALICE” IS MY FAVORITE! THANKS FOR SHARING!
What a great way to make a quilt! My favorite is Down South.
Well all this is very inviting. Would love to win the “extra” quilt. Will save this post for all the information as a start.
I forgot to say “Alice” is my favorite today.
ALice is my favorite! I just love the colors that you chose for it.
I really like them all but I think Alice is my favourite. Thanks for the giveaway — I have someone in mind (who is going through a difficult time) who would love to receive a quilt from me and I could use the panel for that.

What a great idea. I love the Halloween quilt for your daughter. I also love your idea about practicing free motion quilting on these panels. Super!

I love the bright colors and design of Down South. What a fantastic concept.
my choice would be sweet stars.…lots of action in this pattern! great giveaway and beautiful quilts..
Wow, Peta! Isn’t that a great idea!! My heart did a skippity beat when I saw the Down South quilt — those colours! And that’s the one you’re giving away! Really hope I win! 🙂
Wow! How creative to design your own panel.…my favorite is the Alice quilt. Love the colors younused.
My favourite is Down South. I have this top pieced but not yet quilted.
I loved the elephant silhouette! Thank you for the information on this great site, and the chance to win. momoftana at yahoo dot com
The colours of the Alice top is what draws me to it. I love it.
What a great idea! think of all the free time you will now have 🙂 I love all three, but I think if I HAD to choose one, it would be Down South. thank you for the opportunity
