I have teamed up with Sprout Patterns again, but this time I’m showing off a pattern by the talented pattern writer Betz White.
Betz has reached out and asked a couple designers to add their personality to a few of her patterns. In exchange for doing this blog post, I received a fully printed panel of my own designs printed on Eco Canvas through Sprout Patterns.

I loved partaking in the last few Fat Quarter Shop quilt-alongs so much, I decided to try my hand at another one.
A few weeks back Sylvia of Flying Parrot Quilts contacted me with her idea to do a quilt along for a quilt she made using a mash up of a bunch of Halloween themed patterns. She calls it the Epic Halloween Quilt. You can see a photo of it here.
Each week she talks about a different pattern, either free or paid, that fits in the quilt. Like a puzzle piece.
This week is my Ring of Coffins pattern with Heidi Kenney’s Occupied Coffin add on (that’s included)
For anyone out there that hasn’t worked with English Paper Piecing / EPP, where it needs to be basted straight, I’m here to help! Just Keep Reading…

It’s that time again! I am in search of pattern testers for upcoming quilt designs. This time around though I have a proper schedule and will hopefully be releasing a new pattern every 6-8 weeks.
The first group is not needed until mid to late July and the finished quilt or block would not be expected until mid August. Then all other patterns will follow with a similar schedule.
To keep everything organized this time around I will be using a Facebook Private Group to pick and choose who will test what, and then Facebook Secret Groups for each individual pattern.
I will need 8 to 10 testers per pattern, at least 2 each of the following:
I design my patterns for solid fabrics mostly, but I always love seeing them in print too.
There are many techniques involved in each quilt too. Most will include one to three of the following:
If you are interested I have more info and outlined most of my rules in the group, which can be found here.
I made the above pouch as part of CT’s teacher gift this year. I also included an Amazon gift card and a note telling her just how much we loved her! We really did too. She was the best teacher we could possibly hope for as CT’s first.
I really hope next year is just as pleasant. I guess only time will tell.
I had a few leftover half square triangles from the above pouch, so I cut them down to 1″ each and quickly pieced together another Mini Mini Quilt as part of Make Modern Magazine’s contest (that I talked about in the last post)
This thing measures only 2.5″ square and I hand quilted the entire piece. I needed the practice as you can see.
I have a lot more on my plate now, than I did a week ago, so this will be the last Mini Mini Quilt for a little while. Keep checking back though, I have a lot of other stuff up my sleeve these days!
