Once upon a time...

THE STORY BEHIND THE DESIGN

Back To School Zipper Pouch: Free Pattern
School is right around the corner for many kids, including my own.  There is a silent dread felt in our house as our summer will close in two weeks for my two youngest and in another two weeks for my oldest.  It's a big year for my daughter as she will be a senior and busy with college applications and my baby will be a freshman.  Time moves so fast. 

What better way to cope with the back to school blues than my Back To School collection.  Back to School is in stores now.  To celebrate I have designed a mini version of the Let's Draw quilt in pencil pouch form.  Click HERE to download the pattern.

 

Cabin Window

I decided to create a free pattern for The Great Outdoors collection that is in stores now.  I usually don't have free patterns but I wanted to do something special because it was my first time going back to market after two years and I wanted to create a little something extra for all those folks who purchased this collection.  It's an easy pattern and all you need is a little bit of yardage and a Layercake.  Below are some images of the quilt.  It's called Cabin Window and you can download it HERE.

Blockheads Block 11 Shooting Star
Happy Blockheads Day!  Today is my turn to share my block Shooting Star.  I wanted to create a block that had some movement and fun.  There are so many color possibilities with this block and how fun would it be to repeat.  I created this block with my latest collection in stores Noah's Ark.  I am creating all my blocks at 6 1/2" unfinished so I can make a super cute baby quilt.  You can get this block on my blog or the blockheads facebook page.  You can download the block HERE

Have a wonderful day!  #showmethemoda, #blockheads5, #modafabrics, #stacyiesthsufabrics

ALL WRAPPED UP 2.0

Introducing All Wrapped Up 2.0 featuring ABC...xyz fabric.  I am so excited about this pattern because the first pattern did very well but the feedback I received was that it should be jelly roll friendly.  Sooooo I waited for the perfect collection to feature this quilt and then I designed it so that it would be Jelly Roll friendly.  All the strips in the dogs body are 2 1/2" strips so pull out your jelly rolls and create this super cute quilt.

BH4: Block 20 Stop Go

Happy Blockheads day!  I am so excited to share my block today called Stop Go.  This block was inspired by the constant stop and go of life.  There are times in our life where we are working, busy with kids and family and then there are times when we are forced to stop.  Usually completely out of our control like health issues, family crises or dare I say it a pandemic!  

 

I love this block because of all the possible colorways and layouts.  For my block I created four different options using my Holiday Essentials collection.  I feel like it looks great in any holiday and it is such a versatile block.

 

I hope you enjoy creating this block.  Click HERE to download the pattern.
