Nick, Dean, Alex

Just to clear the air, this is not the big secret. That’s coming soon…but not today!

Since I first shared All Dolled Up back in January, Ready to Play! has been on my mind.

If I was going to make little girl dresses, obviously I needed some boy clothes, too!

Meet Nick, Dean and Alex, named, slyly, after three of my favorite people. They know who they are. 😉

Here’s how it works?

There are three paper pieced patterns in two sizes each:

3 – 6″x6″ (6 1/2″ x 6 1/2″ unfinished) patterns
3 – 9″x9″ (9 1/2″ x 9 1/2″ unfinished) patterns

Like Julia, Catherine and Amber from All Dolled Up, the patterns from Ready To Play! not only come in two sizes (6″ x 6″ and 6″ x 9″) but the tops and bottoms are interchangeable. That makes 18 total outfit variations all in one pattern set!

This super fun, super simple pattern set is available right now as an instant download PDF right now through The Sewhooked Shop, powered by e-junkie, for safe and secure PayPal payments.

This pattern is also available on Craftsy!

Now I have the urge to shout, “But wait! There’s more!”

Not only can you swap Ready To Play! patterns with each other, you can also swap them with All Dolled Up for even more pattern combinations…how fun is that?!

I’ve had a blast creating these tiny outfits, and I hope you enjoy them, too!

Selling my patterns is what enables me to keep Sewhooked and Fandom In Stitches running, as well as allowing me to be a full-time crafter/quilter, something I’d very much like to continue doing. Thank you so much for your enthusiasm and support of my work!

Floating Away

Floating Mariner and Floating Mariner 2, product images courtesy of Quilt My Phone

I’m thrilled to be able to share with you that a Sewhooked original, Floating Mariner, is part of the new Contemporary Collection at Quilt My Phone!

Quilt My Phone, created by Cathleen Savage, offers awesome cases for phones, laptops and tablets, all with gorgeous quilts on the outside!

See all the Floating Mariner products right here!

To celebrate this fun and awesome happening, I’ve done a couple of things…

First, I’ve created new layouts and color schemes to inspire you, as well as updating the Floating Mariner pattern.

Not into blue & lavender? Try a different color!

The Floating Mariner table runner is made with four Floating Mariner blocks plus 4 extra 3″ units used as corner stones.

Try mixing Floating Mariner with a traditional block and see what happens!

This one makes me think of fireworks! Red, White & Blue Floating Mariner made with 16 blocks plus 4 3″ units as cornerstones.

I think this is my favorite of all the layouts I played with. Alternate Floating Mariner colorings combined.

This one is totally different, putting Floating Mariner on point and leaving out the small corner pieces. Fun!

These layouts were created using Electric Quilt 7.

Floating Mariner is my original design.

Sharing new ideas and colors isn’t the only way I want to celebrate! Now until February 29, you can get Floating Mariner for half price.

Use coupon code QUILTMYPHONE in the Sewhooked Shop to receive the Floating Mariner instant download PDF pattern for half price as an instant PDF download with PayPal payment – completely secure shopping through E-junkie. This price is only good right here on Sewhooked!

Yeah, you heard me…half price! That’s $3 for a 15″ block pattern that can be used individually or as part of a larger project!

On Craftsy and Revisiting an Old Favorite

7 Replies

My Kitchen Window, now available through Craftsy!

I’ve spent quite a bit of time the last couple of days enjoy the creative bounty that is Craftsy! After lurking for months, I finally dived in and joined up.

And what a wonderful world it is!

I am in the process of making all of my shop patterns, as well as select free patterns, available as PDF instant download through my spiffy new Craftsy shop. Crafts makes for safe, simple shopping from a variety of independence artisans.

While adding patterns to Craftsy, I have been revisiting many old friends.

My Kitchen Window is one of my oldest paper pieced designs, and it was the first pattern I re-drafted when I started working on patterns to sell.

The original was designed many years ago for my mother-in-law, Carol, based on a piece of stained glass she made for us when we first moved to Austin.

The original piece was early days in my designing career. The revamped pattern is much, much simpler and easier to piece!

The inspiration.

While posting this pattern today, I realized the pattern could use a few updates. Since the original pattern was designed entirely in Photoshop, I decided to play with it in EQ7 and see what I could do with different fabrics.

The first one uses the same color scheme as the actual quilt and stained glass.

How fun is it in blue and yellow? I might have to make this one!

I already want to call this one clown kitchen, because, WOW, those are some wild colors together. Fun, but wild!

All Dolled Up!

All Dolled Up Pattern Set

Oh my, have I ever been busy!

Earlier this week, a message dropped in my inbox from Ann-Marie S., asking about paper pieced dress patterns. She wants to turn her daughters’ toddler dresses into quilt blocks and was looking for patterns to help her do that.

Well, how could I resist such an adorable request?

In exchange for her idea, Ann-Marie received a free copy of this fantastically fun set of patterns, which I have dubbed All Dolled Up.

Here’s how it works:

There are three paper pieced patterns in two sizes each:

3 – 6″x6″ (6 1/2″ x 6 1/2″ unfinished) patterns
3 – 9″x9″ (9 1/2″ x 9 1/2″ unfinished) patterns

The tops and bottoms are interchangeable with blocks of their own size, which gives you 18 total dress variations!

This super fun, super simple pattern set is available right now as an instant download PDF right now through The Sewhooked Shop, powered by e-junkie, for safe and secure PayPal payments.

All Dolled Up Pattern Set

$6.50 PDF Instant Download

There are three basic patterns; Julia, Catherine and Amber. The top from each dress can be paired with the skirts from the other two dresses, giving you nine different dresses!

Each pattern is also printable as a 6″ x 9″ (6 1/2″ x 9 1/2″) pattern, for a more “grown-up” effect!

Confused? Here’s an easy chart to get you on your way! The top row shows the base patterns: Julia, Catherine and Amber. The next two rows show each tops with a different skirt. For example, J+C = Julia (top) + Catherine (skirt). Easy!

How’s that for a new pattern? I’m so in love with this set and can’t wait to piece my new little dresses into a quilt!

An Old Favorite

I was recently delighted when the gals over at Quilt Inspiration asked permission to post Floating Mariner on their site as part of their Winter Stars series.

I might have squeed a little. 😉

That post went up today, and I was thrilled to see my work there as well as touched by their kind words.

Let’s Talk Turkey

10 Replies

It’s time to talk turkey, specifically about Turkey Talk!

So, there’s this idea I’ve had for a long, long time. It didn’t really start to take shape until after I learned to embroider for The Project of Doom. Before that time, the design was never quite right.

And then, inspiration!

My turkey was too quiet.

It was simple. He just needed a few words.

Words are a miraculous thing. Once added, I couldn’t wait to get this wall hanging made to share with you!

French Knot eye…see that embroidery is coming in handy!

Gobble Gobble? That’s what he said!

And, from the back. Guess who forgot to add a hanging sleeve? Dang it.

Why does this turkey make me so darn happy? I couldn’t say, but he really, really does!

Fairy Tale Femmes

It took me by surprise to realize how long it’s been since I’ve shared a new pattern from the Sewhooked Shop!

Enter the latest addition to Sunbonnet Sue’s Magical Friends: Set 6 – Fairy Tale Femmes.

These lovelies are my own interpretation of some of Fairy Land’s most popular pretty ladies: Rapunzel, letting down her hair; Little Red Riding Hood, off to visit Grandma; Snow White, contemplating the poisoned apple; The Princess and the Pea, trying to get comfy; A Little Mermaid, dreaming of a human Prince; and Cinderella, fleeing at midnight.

Just a reminder, in honor of my participation in the Quilting Gallery’s Celebrate Christmas Quilt-Along, right now through November 1, 2011 get Holly Jolly as an instant PDF download pattern for half price using coupon code CELEBRATE or get 10% of your total Sewhooked instant download purchase instead with coupon code QUILTOBER!
