New Patterns from Elizabeth Hartman

Elizabeth Hartman has three new patterns for you this fall and they are all so adorable!

The Kittens - Quilt Pattern

Meet The Kittens! Simon, Chrissy, Bacon Bits, Daisy, and Mr. Snuggles will be the purrfect addition to your next quilt. This pattern includes instructions for making two versions of a 66" x 66" cat quilt, each featuring 8" x 10" cat blocks. The Sampler Cats version includes 5 unique cat blocks and is perfect for using solids and monochromatic prints (and for duplicating the faces of your feline friends). The Plain Cats version is ideal for using large-scale and multi color print fabrics.

Allie Owl - Quilt Pattern

These bold and graphic owls will make a big impact in your next quilt! Make a baby quilt with a single owl block, or stitch up a whole nest for a striking lap or twin bed quilt.
This pattern includes instructions for a 32" x 44' Baby Quilt, a 52" x 66" Lap Quilt, and a 68" x 92" Twin Quilt. All of the projects are made using 16" x 28" Allie Owl blocks.

Patterns from Highway 10 Designs

We are so excited about the newest addition to our quilt pattern section!

We now stock patterns from Highway 10 Designs designed by two absolutely wonderful Canadian quilters!

Kathy Schwartz and Lori Suss—two amazing professional long arm quilters from Manitoba—are the pattern designers behind Highway 10 Designs. Kathy and Lori met in Flin Flon, MB at a local guild meeting in 2003. An instant friendship began and soon they were co-hosting guild programs that affectionately became known as the "Lori & Kathy Show" because of their completely different approaches to working on any project.

In the fall of 2011 Lori moved to Dauphin and joined the local guild. The idea of designing their own quilt pattern to use as a Mystery project to be presented at both guilds is what sparked the start of their design business. From there Highway 10 Designs was born, named after the highway that connects their two towns. Now 5 patterns later, the drive to create is stronger than ever and they are looking forward to seeing what is around the next corner for Highway 10 Designs.

Besides being pattern designers both are professional Longarm quilters. Their dream of being coming longarm quilters came true for Kathy in 2009 and for Lori in 2012. Kathy is the owner of Tamarack Shack Longarm Quilting located at Schist Lake near Flin Flon, MB. Lori is the owner of Night Owl Quilting and Dye Works located in Dauphin, MB.


We met both Kathy and Lori through Blogathon Canada a couple of years ago and we're thrilled to be bringing their patterns to you! 

Meet Jenny Pedigo from Sew Kind of Wonderful

If you haven't tried out the Quick Curve Ruler and Patterns by Jenny Pedigo from Sew Kind of Wonderful you are missing out on the curved piecing party! Jenny's Quick Curve Ruler has made cutting and piecing curved blocks a breeze and with the many patterns she produces you'll never run out of curved piecing projects! We got in touch with Jenny who graciously accepted our invitation to do an interview for our readers. 

Jenny Pedigo

1. We brought in your Quick Curve Ruler and patterns into our store and we love them! Tell us how you got started. Where did the inspiration for this ruler come from?
   
   One day I was playing around with a curve shape and realized the endless designs created by a curve but knew I didn't want to create patterns with templates. When the ruler idea came to my head I knew it was something different and possibly something that would make cutting curves easier. I had never sewed curves before and after sewing my first curve, I ended up squaring the curved block up and that's why the Quick Curve Ruler is a square up ruler too.
   

Celebrate Curves with the Quick Curve Ruler©

Cut gentle, soft curves easily and quickly with Jenny Pedigo's Quick Curve Ruler©. This high quality acrylic ruler greatly reduces cutting and sewing time and makes curved piecing fun. The ruler measures 7" x 12" with curve cut outs that allow you to use any size rotary blades. Start with the free pattern—Urban Runner—that comes with the ruler and then work your way through Jenny's range of beautiful, modern patterns.
