I published 3 new patterns this week and they are now all available on my web site. Click here for more information.

I am having a special sale of these 3 new patterns: Buy 2 of the new patterns and you get the third one for free! After you place your order, just e-mail me and quote this code FPFEB09 to make sure you get your free pattern.

Wonky Strips (Pattern #229 ) is another Jelly-Roll Friendly pattern. You can also use fat quarters or any of your scraps that can be cut into 2 1/2" strips. This little quilt is quick and easy to make and would make a great gift for a special child if you use a variety of bright fabrics. Instructions for making an 18" pillow are also included in the pattern.

New Pattern #1: Wonky Squares

Wonky Squares (#228) is a Jelly Roll - friendly pattern. (Jelly Rolls are those wonderful 2 1/2" x 40" strips of fabric that are distributed by several fabric companies.) You can also use fat quarters or any of your scraps that can be cut into 2 1/2" strips.

Instructions are given for 2 different versions of this design. The centre square in each block is perfect for fussy-cutting a special fabric or using a photo printed on fabric. I used the Kaleidoscope Kreator program to design the centre squares in this quilt.

The second version has an extra row of blocks to make a quilt that is 39" x 58" - a perfect size for a lap quilt or a child's bed. I used rick-rack to frame the outer borders. Have you noticed how cotton rick-rack is becoming popular again? It comes in many colours and widths and adds a new interest to our projects.

Back Home Again!

I have been at the Sherway Gardens Antique Show in Toronto for the last week. Although I had internet access at the hotel, I could not access my Blog or my daily pictures server. My only post of last week, about my free pattern promotion, was done very quickly at the Apple store in the mall. I am sure they would rather have sold me a new computer, but the store was so busy, I don't think they noticed that I was putting a post on my Blog!

You can see all the daily pictures from last week here.
