New Patterns - it was a Busy Fall 2016

I have just added 5 new patterns to my website.  Most of them were designed in the summer last year and the final pattern development was completed just before the holidays. This brings me to 22 new patterns published in 2016!


Dancing Orchids combines piecing and appliqué - but you don't need to make the orchids! They are 'fussy cut' from the orchid print in the Artisan Spirit Sandscapes Orchids collection by Northcott and then fused in place.

This pattern includes 2 sizes: you can add the asymmetrical border for the large quilt (46" x 58") or make the smaller quilt (35" x 47") without the border. 

I have included one of my favourite appliqué shapes in the quilt too - the Monstera leaf. I have used this design for my Machine Quilting with Decorative Stitches workshop and as a quilting design.

Buy this pattern.


On the Move: I have wanted to make this pattern for a couple of years. It is based on the wedding quilt I made for my daughter and son-in-law in 2014.  I just had to wait for the perfect fabric.  Hipster on the Go by Northcott was just what I was looking for!

This pattern has 2 sizes and 2 colourways. 

The large quilt is 56" x 65" and the small quilt is 39" x 44" (perfect for a baby quilt).





Order the pattern HERE.

The next design uses Island Batik fabrics and is a
Give & Take Appliqué pattern (one fused design equals TWO blocks).  

This Holiday Bells table runner is 18½" x 48".  It's NOT too early to get started on a holiday project for 2017!

I had a lot of fun working with panels for the next pattern. Yes....this quilt uses 2 of the same panel so you don't need to do all that amazing piecing! 

I cut the panels into sections and recombined the pieces with 3 coordinating fabrics to make this 59" x 67" quilt.  

The Psychedelic panels are from the ColorWorks Concepts 2 collection by Northcott. I called this design Galaxy Twist.








And the last pattern is one for the golfers in your life. A great collection of prints called On the Green make this quilt lots of fun. There is a golf course scene, golf balls on the grass and golf clubs and golf bags and shoes. There is a fun allover print with 'tees' as well. 

Two sizes are included in this pattern - large quilt 56" x 72" and small quilt 48" x 60".  Piecing is very easy for these quilts and they make a perfect gift. 

What else could I call it? Tee Time!

It is time to SHARE....all those bits and pieced you have been seeing in my What's on My Table, Tuesday? Blog Posts.

I made 2 quilts for upcoming fabric collections (and Patchworks Studio patterns) for the Northcott booth at Market.

First is Galaxy Twist.

This quilt uses fabrics from the Phase III ColorWorks Concepts collection. I used 2 Psychedelic panels from this upcoming collection plus 2 coordinates and ColorWorks black to make my quilt.

Fabrics will be in quilt shops in March 2017. Watch for this pattern in early March. 


PS - sign up for my newsletter and you will be first to know what the pattern is released.









The second quilt is Dancing Orchids. I used Artisan Spirit Sandscapes Orchids for this quilt. 

This collection delivers to stores in February 2017 and the pattern for this quilt will be available then.

It has been a busy few weeks and I am so pleased with both these new quilts.

Watch for new designs coming soon. I have 2 new patterns to write in the next couple of weeks. Watch the blog (and the Newsletter) for the release.
