For the last month or so I have been sewing like crazy….My email box has been on overload and honestly, my brain has been on overload too! Â Here’s why…
AccuQuilt contacted me and asked if I would be interested in designing a few patterns for them. Â I, of course, said yes. Â I’m starting off with something super easy and something free! Â Seasonal Placemats…
The thing I like about these is that they can be modified to fit any occasion. Â The pattern is over at AccuQuilt’s website. Â This pattern is available for free.
There are two more patterns over at Accuquilt’s website…You can check them out here….
I never realized how hard pattern writing is….I have read, read and reread patterns thinking they were just right and then…a typo… a spacing adjustment…a font adjustment…. Â AH!!!!! Â Let’s just say I have a totally new respect for pattern designers.
Keep watching for new patterns…there’s more to come. Â Remember all that sewing I’ve been doing last week? All four of those are patterns for Christmas projects for AccuQuilt. Â They’ll be available in a couple weeks. Â I’m not a big “decorate for Christmas” girl but these projects turned out cute…I’ll show those to you in a couple weeks once they are released. Â It’s amazing….I went 25 years without a Christmas tree skirt…and this year, I sewed two!
In between those projects I am still leader and ending with my tumbler blocks…. Oh…they are looking nice. Â I keep telling myself, one more row….one more row.

Congratulations!!
Congrads! It sounds like you are having lots of fun.
Good job! The placemats are adorable!
I know what you mean about putting down the words. No matter how many times you go back you’re sure to find something else that needs correcting! Sandi
yay for you! I know that pattern desiging is so much harder than it looks! Congrats on a job well done. I just love all of Accuquilt’s great products and how they involve so many great quilters in the process.
Dear Jo, I like to see your blog because it’s very nice. With those patterns, maybe one day I’ll try to do something! Have a good day!xoxo from Mexico!
Woohoo!!! What an achievement!!! Good for you!!
These are so cute! I love the pumpkins! Thank you!
Congrats!! These are cute. Know what you mean about writing patterns – it’s really time consuming – not to mention how many times you print them out before you discover another fix is needed. (How many trees did I use in this process?) Keep up the good work!
