Lazy Days of Summer are Gone!

I know, you thought we were just lying around the cottage drinking frappe's and munching on scones.

Well, we weren't. We've been busy, and here are the results.

!!!!!!  13 New Wall Hanging Patterns  !!!!!!

 "Bison of the Plains" Wall Hanging Pattern makes a piece about 11" x 11"

We promised Palouse Divide Lodge, a dealer in wools for quilters, in Princeton, ID, that we would design some patterns especially for them. Hence, all the small pieces here which can be done in cotton, flannel, wool, satin, velvet, etc.

"Cuddles" Wall Hanging Pattern makes a piece about 7" x 8".

Instructions in the patterns are for freezer paper applique' with special techniques for woolens and cotton, both.

 This trio of Halloween/Autumn patterns is being re-introduced in a new set of colors. I don't have samples of all my patterns, yet, but these three are done. My dear friend, Joan Kowano, over at Moose Stash Quilting made these samples for us.

This one is called "Harvest Ghost" and finishes at about 36" x 36".

End of the Week and New Patterns

I'm giving you all a sneak peak at some new patterns coming down the road.  It's the end of the week here on the prairie.  We got sunburned weeding the garden earlier this week, discovered a family of skunks living under our neighbor's storage shed, and managed to get some finished quilts photographed properly, for a change.  It's quite hot today and will be in the 100's by Sunday (humidity about 12%).

Here's the first pattern, for Christmas.  This is just the computer version of it but the yardage and cutting instructions are all done.  It's called "Santa Claus" (isn't that original?), for now.

And another pattern, for Autumn, called, for now, "Harvest Time".  This may be three patterns in one, what do you think?  Again, this is just the drawing.....not the finished sample, yet.  

I'm sorry to have to mess these up a little with the copyright.  I'm supposed to have a watermark on them but haven't finished the confirmation on that yet.  Should be done in a couple of days, though.

Time to stop working, though, and put the feet up for a while.  Thinking about what to fix for the weekend meals to keep everyone going forward and happy.  Hmmmm.......tomorrow, we'll cook something together, eh?  I've been thinking of a bean salad and/or maybe Chile Rellenos.
