My Small World Templates
Recently I’ve been participating in the #mysmallworldqal over on instagram. The original pattern is by Jen Kingwell (I worship at her quilty feet) and it’s found in the Spring 2015 issue of Quiltmania. I’ve just finished part 2 and expect to dive into part 3 today. The pattern is written in a fairly inefficient way, […]
New Paper Pieced Pattern: Flying Geese Expansion
I originally designed this pattern to go along with the triangles for arrows expansion pack, and it IS good for that, but it’s good for so many other things I decided not to limit its description as just going with the arrows. You can stick these little blocks together to make straight lines of tiny […]
New Pattern: Leonard’s Close Up
You might recall the llama pattern I released last year, Leonard the Llama. For some reason I got it into my head that I wanted to do a close up of Leonard’s face. I think mostly I’ve always been unhappy with his expression in the original pattern. Don’t get me wrong, I did it that […]

I love Target. Who doesn’t? And every once in a while I wander over to the men’s graphic tees and think to myself, “Self, you love those tees, it’s too bad they are made for 5 year old boys.” The sizes do go all the way up to men’s XXL, which is great, but those […]

Conversion Project: Apple Pie Block (free pattern!)
So yesterday I saw this spectacular Apple Pie block by @heyporkchop and I knew I must have it. After a little conversation, googling, and otherwise exploring I’ve found this to be a traditional pattern, but I don’t have any info on the background of it. I’ve ordered Block Base (!!) so hopefully I’ll have more […]
