Working on my next pattern

Yes, I have number three in the works. and yes, its another critter.  This one is going to be a beaver,, I hope anyway.  I have all the pieces all cut out, stitched, and turned right side out. that's the easy part!  tomorrow I might be able to work on it some during the day. but have to work around the grand daughter!  She at least lets me do  some hand work here and there.  now lets hope that I don't have to remake to many pattern pieces!  The face will be the hardest to craft. I can see it in my minds eye so should work out just fine. but we will see!

Have a good night!

Inventory Reduction Sale

Yes, I am having a Inventory Reduction Sale in my shop in Esty.  I have marked down all of my small quilts, lap quilts, and wall hangings and table toppers.   they have been marked down anywhere from 25 to 50 percent. so there are some really great deals to be had!  I just need to clear some of my inventory since it is getting to where I cant move in my house! just to many totes laying around!

So just go to my shop and take a look around.  www.QuiltAples.esty.com

Thanks!  oh and spread the word!

My next critter

OK, so I got this cute little guy all done. now to just get the pattern written up. It is mostly done. just have to check, check, and check some more!  I don't have the program to combine the pattern pieces with the written pattern but my daughter does. so she puts things together for me. problem is, she has already done the first pattern twice!  but the more that "we" do the better we will get.  I already have ideas for the next one!

And yes, I did have to remake some of the parts on this one. strange how you can see it in your mind, but it turns out different!

working on pattern #2

Yes, I am working on  pattern #2. I have my critter done.........after I had to take some pieces apart and remake them.  just didn't like the look of it.  And I have my rough draft of the directions on "Word" so tomorrow I can work on fine tuning it.

I am not going to show a picture tonight. it is just to dark now and I don't have proper lighting to get a good picture. but this guy is a Elephant Pin Keep. He came out pretty cute!

Once I get a few of them done, then I will get them copyrighted. better safe than sorry!

So tomorrow , once the sun comes out I will get a picture of my Elephant and let you all see it.

Have a great evening!

My first pattern is done!

Yes, it is all finished and ready for the Publisher so to speak.  I had a lot of errors to fix, my fingers tend to get "tongue tied" when I type.  real good thing I have spell check! but it doesn't tell you the difference between hang and hand! or not and now!  but after several checks of it, I don't think I have anything wrong with it! So it will be ready shortly.

And now I am working on my next critter. I have it all cut out and partially stitched, now to just  put it together and see how it looks!  so check back soon and I just might have another  picture to show you!

Almost done with my first pattern

Yes I am almost done with my first pattern!  I am getting excited!  I have wanted to get into designing my own stuff for quite awhile now.  So I am finally getting on the boat so to speak.  I just have a few computer glitches to work out then my pattern will be ready to go.  I have so many ideas on what I want to work on, but have to get the first one  under my belt first.

Everyone have a good evening!  and enjoy what is left of summer

A really cute design!

OK, so I was playing around. Some of you know that I really want to get into designing my own things.  This is what I came up with.  It is based on the ideas from Threadbare Primitives and her pin keeps.  I did not use any of her pattern pieces, just the basic concept.  Would like your honest opinion on how it looks!  and needless to say, I just love using Batik fabrics on these pin keeps!  it gives them such a different look! and no two will ever be the same!
