A COUPLE OF NOTES ABOUT UPCOMING PATTERNS, PLEASE READ!

1.  EMBROIDERED BLOCKS

Just a quick check? How many of you own an embroidery machine?

The reason I ask is that I have 4 blocks that are machine patterns. I have been looking into the patterns and I believe that they can be translated into applique and they are not that hard, just a little time consuming.

If you want to do applique, I will have patterns ready for download by the end of next week. I will post them to the files under APPLIQUE in a PDF.file.

Machine embroidery patterns will be available as a PDF.file also under files. I am still working on the size and figuring out which ones work best. You are more than welcome, once posted, to download and start anytime.

And if you are uncomfortable with both embroidery and applique, I will try and find alternate blocks for you. Again, it will be the end of next week.

The one below can be done either as applique or machine embroidery. It is a sample that I’m considering.

Please let me know your thoughts so I can set it up.  Thank you.

 

2.  APPLIQUE POSSIBLE PAPER PIECED BLOCKS

APPLIQUE PATTERNS:

Just a reminder that there are a couple of blocks that are in the quilt that should be done as applique as it will work better. Actually, the second one should be probably done as Paper Pieced for better accuracy.

Please note that I do reserve the right to change the blocks around if it feels like it might be a problem working with it. Please let me know what you think.

**********************************************************
Someone asked how often the patterns will come out and I stated that they will come out about every 3-4 weeks, which is true. But  I need to amend that statement. Patterns will be coming out fairly quickly as I figure them out. The actual block might take longer to make.  I’m trying to do the easiest ones first and am starting to play with the embroidery patterns.

Hello and welcome to my website! My name is Donna. My hubby and I are retired. We have twin daughters and are blessed with 4 grandchildren. We are owned by a cat, Purrl. who loves to supervise and is very nosy. I have been quilting since 1996. In addition to making quilts for my family and friends, I also make charity quilts for Marjoree Mason Center and Valley Children’s Hospital. Marjoree Mason Center is a local organization here that helps and supports battered and abused women and children get out of abusive relationships. Every Christmas I make several baby quilts for the women, with a small stuffed animal or toy. I also belong to the San Joaquin Valley Quilters’ Guild here in Fresno. Since I retired, I have been trying to finish most of my UFOs, but my stash is way out of control! I have lately gotten into designing quilts and enjoy that even more than sewing them! I love colors of all types and consider myself to be a true scrappy quilter and I do love playing with designs. I am the owner/moderator of Scrappy Quilters on Facebook, where we are very active with many mystery quilts, challenges and swaps. I welcome you to come by and check us out at https://www.facebook.com/groups/ScrappyQuilters. Thank you for dropping by and I hope to see you again soon.
