The Awesome Inbox

Some days, the inbox just doesn’t quit!

A huge thanks to my best friend, Jewells, for nudging me about Quilter’s Club of America and Fons & Porter’s newsletters, both of which featured free Craftsy patterns this week. The top two on the right might look a little bit familiar, as they were designed by yours truly! Both patterns can be found right here on the Sewhooked Free Quilt Pattern page as well as on Sewhooked Craftsy.

It’s awfully quiet in here…

You might have noticed in yesterday’s Talk To Me Tuesday that I didn’t actually show anything that I’m working on.

Ehem.

There’s a mighty fine reason for that. I’ve been working on something I can’t show off just yet. In fact, I will need the all-clear from someone else before I share it.

Is that vague enough for you?

This photo is a teeny tiny sneak peek.

That’s it…I really can’t say anything else!

Back to hand stitching a hanging sleeve.

Oh, oh, could that be a clue?!

Reminder: 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 during the month of February.

You can now get all my for-pay patterns via instant PDF download through Craftsy! They charge nothing, nada, zero for independent designers like me to post and sell their patterns. Having had an online store for almost two years now, let me tell you, free is not usually the way it works! It’s been hugely helpful for the teeny tiny Sewhooked budget, and if it continues to go well, there is a possibility that I will start selling my patterns exclusively through Craftsy.

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!
