Happy New Year!

I hope everyone had a happy and safe New Year's. 

2022 had it's ups and downs but overall I'd say it was a success!!  I did not accomplish everything I set out to do but I'm ok with that. I'm very proud of what I accomplished. I managed to complete 6 quilts / wall hangings. Published 34 patterns out of 46 along with other miscellaneous projects.

2023 is going to be all about the things that make me happy and getting rid of the things that don't.  I may let some of the patterns that I've designed and not yet tested go and not stress over them. Some blocks that have been completed may be donated. For now I'm not going to stress over it.

I ended 2022 by finishing my Nightmare Before Christmas Jack and Sally blocks by adding the perfect border fabric and adding some frames I had around the house. I absolutely LOVE how they turned out!!  I also began making butterflies (they're kind of my thing) using a beautiful and simple patterns by lillyella.com (https://lillyella.com/2015/09/02/butterfly-charm-block-paper-piecing-patterns/). Not 100% sure yet what I'm going to make with them but they make me happy. 

Here are a few photos, sorry they aren't the best. It's been overcast and rainy for the last few days.



The first of 15 butterflies I have completed so far.  I will post a follow up with them all soon.


You can see the swirls in the fabric that made it perfect for NBC!

Live ~ Love ~ Create ~ Sew

An original design I created for my sister's new sewing space. I'm happy to share it with you all for your personal use. Please so not sell my patterns or creations made with the patterns without permission. Because the words are individually pieced you can use them on their own or change the layout anyway you want it.  For my layout I added a 5" x 8" piece of background to the left and right of Live and Love. For Create I added a 5" x 2.5" piece to each end.  I have some photos below that I took as I was laying everything out and deciding on which I liked best.  This can easily be done with scraps from your scrap bin! Enjoy and Happy Sewing! Patterns: Live   -  Difficulty Level 2 Love   -  Difficulty Level 3 Create   -  Difficulty Level 3 Sewing Machine   -  Difficulty Level 1 Also available is the Geometric Sewing Machine pattern This pattern is free for personal and non-profit use only.

The Owl House ~ Stringbean

 FINALLY!! Luz has her palisman and isn't she the cutest!!!   I'm making it available in 2 sizes. I wanted a 12" block to turn into a pillow but since the other main Owl House blocks are 10" I have provided that option as well.  The 10" block will be slightly more challenging on the eye as it will make those pieces smaller. But I know you can do it!! Pattern - 12" Pattern - 10" Difficulty: 2 This pattern is free for personal and non-profit use only. Not to be used for manufacture or distribution. Sale of this pattern or quilts made from this pattern is prohibited. Click here for more patterns from The Owl House String bean with embroidered details String bean with no embroidery

Week 14 - Owl House - Emperor Belos

I hope you all are starting off 2022 happy and healthy! First up for 2022 is Emperor Belos unmasked. Block size: 12" x 12" Difficulty: 3 (due to the smaller pieces) Click here for the pattern Belos with full embroidery I wanted to show some differences with embroidery to show that you don't have to go all out like I do on these blocks. On this I would also do around his right eye to make that pop more. Otherwise you could totally get away with stopping here. Looking better already with a nose, mouth and scar.  Ready for embroidery.
