Kits - Back in Stock

Today I am excited to announce

 the 

Rhapsody Market Tote Kits

 are back in stock over at

Bluprint.

Until last year, I really hadn't made a lot of large bags.

Then Craftsy (now Bluprint) approached me about designing a large market bag

and

I became a little obsessed with making them.

I designed this pattern, Bluprint made a kit,

and then it

SOLD OUT

in both colors.

THANK YOU!

And now if you missed out on the first round of kits you are in luck.

This super oversized tote kit is available.

The larger the better if you ask me.

And this one is big.

It’s made with just one package of 10” squares!

I'm just tickled to share that you can

now pick up your own large Market Tote kit over at Bluprint featuring my pattern again.

You can choose from 2 color combinations too!

Use coupon code EXTRA20 until Monday 11/18/2019

for 20% off the price!!!

I hope you will try out one of the kits.

They may not be back again...

If you make one, be sure to share pictures with me. 

I would love to share your market bags.

Craftsy Pattern Store - Download Your Pattern Library NOW.

If you haven't heard, Craftsy is changing.

Craftsy has been the host of my online store for over five years.

NBCUniversal acquired Craftsy in 2017 and has been making changes to fit its brand, Bluprint.  As a designer for Craftsy, I've known changes were coming.

This week the changes have been announced that will affect independent designers.

In an email, the company explained that some independent stores will be deleted and some will be downsized.  I was a lucky one and will still have a store.

BUT:

I don't know which patterns will remain in my store and which ones will be deleted.

SO:

If you have any patterns you have been thinking about downloading, now it the time to do that because, after December 28th, I don't know which of the 45 patterns I offer on Craftsy will still be in the store.

PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE

Take the time today to download all the patterns you have saved in your pattern library at Craftsy
to your own computer.
ALL of them so you will have no worries.

Make this your Friday Finish.

That's what I'll be doing today while I bake up some Christmas goodies.

Sometimes, change is good...

challenging, but good.

Pick a Pumpkin Blog Hop - The Final Day, Giveaway, and My Day

We are celebrating fall this week

with the

Pick a Pumpkin Blog Hop.

Today is the last day and I'm sad to see it end.

My vision became a reality thanks to everyone who played along.

It has been so fun to see pumpkins take center stage for one week

and

to all that participated or commented -

Thank you so much!

It's been such a fun week.

It's my day to share my pumpkins
and
I made this pillow to remind me of this blog hop.

Just a little fusible applique with

 HeatnBond EZ Print Lite 

on a background of white then a little orange to snowball the corners.

It matches pretty close to the button.

Well, it should, I designed the button too. *wink*

And here is my Pumpkin Surprise quilt.

Finished size:  40" x 40"

The animal blocks are in my Craftsy shop.

There is a raccoon, an owl

a fox, and a bunny

surrounded by friendship blocks with itty, bitty pumpkins in the center.

Here is today's line-up of bloggers.

My Happy Place Row Along - Quilt Reveal Day and Giveaway

Sadly, the My Happy Place Row Along is coming to a close.

Marian at Seams to be Sew has been our host for this super fun row along.
Thank you, Marian.

Today is 
QUILT SHOW  DAY
where we show off the projects we made with all these fun rows.

There were over 40 designers over the last 6 weeks offering quilt row patterns

from each one's "happy place".

This is the row I introduced at the beginning of the row along:

Happy Hour

The row finished is 12" x 30"

You can download the pattern at my Craftsy Pattern Shop.

I used the row to make a quilt by adding 10" blocks and two borders.

The palm trees and flowers on the corners are the same appliques that are in the 

Happy Hour Row.

I just printed the patterns for the palm trees and flowers again.

I didn't trace a single piece of this applique.  

I just printed the applique pages right onto the 

HeatnBond EZ Print LITE sheets.

The background fabrics for the row were supplied by Northcott.

I received four 1/4 yard pieces of Stonehenge Gradations Brights

and 

by adding a little white fabric I was able to make my new quilt.

  It's the perfect beach mat size - 43" x 45" with a fun Minky print on the back. 

You'll find other ideas for the quilt rows at these blogs today:
