Tiny Dresden Seasonal Series

 

Back in May, just in time for spring market in Pittsburgh, I got the brainy idea to design a series of

REALLY TINY seasonal quilts to fit a tiny,

Ackfeld Wire 6 x 6 frame.

I wanted to use my new Tiny Dresden Template,

& I wanted the quilts to be seasonal, one for each month.

Within a week, I had the samples ready to go to market (in hind sight, that was the easy part)

but then once market was over came the task of creating the twelve patterns!

• writing
• testing
• editing
• photographing
• pricing
• more testing
• sending files
• ordering buttons & charms
• waiting…

Finally:

 

 

Each quilt:

• measures 6″ x 8″
• incorporates hand embroidery with perle cotton thread
• uses Tiny Dresden petals that make a seasonal design
• button(s) or charm included in pattern
• $7.50 ea. retail per pattern
• fabric kits available $8.00 (limited supply)
• extra button kits available $2.00 per month

With the exception of the hand embroidery & the binding,

every step was done on my sewing machine

even sewing on the buttons & making the label,

which I’ve included instructions for!

–Patterns–

–Extra button kits—

— Fabric kits (limited supply)—

If you’re a shop & would like to carry my patterns,

send me an email or visit

Now you know how I spent my summer!

Presently I’m working on more ways to use my fun

Tiny Dresden Template…

Until next time,
