Pattern Shop News

My SpringTime Bag pattern booklet is available in my SHOP! This pattern was originally featured last Spring in Taiwanese craft book Cotton Life No. 5. You'll be happy to know that instructions are now in English. This bag features a flowerpot-shaped pocket and instructions for pillow-cased applique technique. The Butterfly Keychain is not included in this pattern booklet due to lack of space but will be available as a small pattern booklet of its own.

A special thanks to my wonderful pattern testers from across the globe... Veronica from Italy and her blog Purr-Stitch:

and Joanna from Germany and her blog Shape Moth:

All PatchworkPottery digital pattern booklets include metric conversion chart, stitches & terms section, illustrated step-by-step instructions, and full size templates.

Pumpkin Coasters

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!
