Harvesting pumpkins from my little garden last week put me in a particularly Autumn-y mood. I needed something to decorate my wall that would celebrate the season as well as have a function. From the overflowing bins of fabric scraps, Pumpkin Coasters were born... and what a better opportunity to try out my new-found InDesign skills than to create my very first PDF pattern!
These coasters are very versatile because they can be linked together. You can make a set of 4 or as many as needed. Pumpkin Coasters is a very simple & easy-to-make pattern, and is suited to quilters of any skill level!
I am very excited to make this PDF pattern available in my SHOP just in time for Autumn. It is a 4-page pattern which includes the cover, fully illustrated step-by-step instructions, and 2 template pages. I have decided to make my simpler designs available as PDF patterns. My goal is to make most of my current designs available as printed pattern booklets and keep on creating new projects! My dream is to find my pattern booklets in shops across the world :o)
...but first I have to make them!
Your other patterns available in PDF format would be great - in many ways it would save - you on P&P and all of us that live on the other side of the pond (or further afield) on the addition expense in postage but more importantly the delay in receiving a pattern we are itching to get started on. Waiting impatiently - Ethne
ReplyDeleteIt is very nice coasters! Thank you very much for this opportunity to have your patterns in an easy-to-receive way :)
