More new patterns

Here are the other two patterns I have designed for the CreativFestival in Toronto (October 17-19). I have decided to make each of them into pillows and will include the directions for doing that in each of the patterns.

"Heirloom Blooms"

"Christmas Goose"

New Punchneedle Pattern

I decided a few months ago that I wanted to design a few new patterns to take with me to the CreativFestival in Toronto. I wanted to do them all using only Valdani Three-strand floss so that I could make up kits to sell. I will be doing punchneedle demos in our booth, so I have purchased lots of Cameo Punchneedles and Morgan No-Slip hoops to sell as well. here is a sneak preview of my first new pattern - "Flying Santa". Now to write the pattern and order the floss!

More patterns - hot off the press!

Since we will be leaving for Spring Quilt Market in just 25 days (take a deep breath - don't panic), I have been feverishly writing up my new patterns. Designing new quilts and punchneedle pieces is fun - but writing the patterns is WORK!! As a result, I have a backlog of patterns that need to be written. But this week I finally finished the last three of my new punchneedle patterns. Seasonal Selections #2, #3 & #4 (Spring, Summer and Fall) are all finally done. I'm in the process of printing and assembling, so they are not yet on the website - but here is a sneak peak!
