I’m excited to announce that I am once again included in
Quiltmaker’s awesome 100 Blocks issue!
My block, Lost Mittens, can be found on page 46.
I used various Christmas prints, plus a cute black/cream polka dot.
This would make a great scrappy Christmas quilt, using up all of your Christmas scraps don’t you think?
With just 4 of the 12″ blocks you can quickly make this 12″ x 48″ runner,
or by setting them a little differently, this 24″ x 24″ topper!
You have plenty of time…
Just an afternoon is all you need!

I’ve been really busy these past months using my new fabric line,
Vintage Play by Red Rooster.
This is the panel with 12 blocks that can be trimmed to 6-1/2″.
This is the border print that is available in 2 colorways.
The tossed cars are available in 3 colorways.
The tossed butterflies were one of the last prints, but has become my favorite background print.
The puppies are available in 2 colorways.
The check print makes a great border!
These tossed flowers are available in 2 colorways too.
The green tossed flowers are good for a background as well.
The tossed numbers read as solids.
They make great applique in 5 colors!
The road dashes are also in 2 colorways.
Funny thing is, quilters thought they were stitches!
This gives me more ideas…
In yellow I thought this print would make a great legal pad effect.
You might think it would be hard deciding where to start, but before I even had the fabrics, I designed a free pattern for Red Rooster. After that, the rest just kept coming…
This quilt uses some of each of the fabrics, except the green border.

There is also a bonus quilt pattern included in the book “Tiny Play”
I made this quilt from scraps of “Vintage Play” & “Toy Cars” quilts.
I also have 6 new patterns with Vintage Play.
Add-a-Candle birthday counter.
This is a birthday counter that you add a candle to each year to celebrate a child’s age. I suggest making as many candles as you intend to add to this quilt when you make the quilt so you don’t have to go back each year & make another candle. This is also a good idea to give to mom’s that don’t sew. Just fusing the candles each year will be OK, because you won’t need to wash the quilt.
I designed this to measure children’s height, but at market & festival I think more quilters were interested in buying the pattern so they could hang the quilt in their sewing room! I didn’t even think of that! Guess where this is going later…
Crooked 9-Patch is a stack, cut & swap quilt.
It’s actually a revised older pattern of mine that I’ve taught to children at summer camps. It’s quick, easy and as long as you sew a straight seam, the quilt will lay flat!
is another of my Quilt-as-you-go lap quilt patterns.
In case you’ve not seen my tutorial on this you can see it here.
Quick & easy lap quilts… my thing!
These next two quilts are traditionally pieced, then handed of to my awesome quilter, Tamara.
also a lap quilt, but with great-big applique!
This is also a lap quilt with great, big applique.
