Featured Designer day at Designers Quilt Show

Today I'm one of the featured designers at the virtual Designers Quilt Show.

Every day features different designers. The last day will be a recap with all of the days available to view again because. . . prizes! You want to visit everyday, but if you can't then we are hoping Day 7 will help you catch up.

We are so grateful that we could get together virtually to create this show for you. 

Hi to all of the new visitors to the blog! Please take a moment to look around.

I design quilt patterns which are mostly pieced and require no templates or special tools. You can start on any pattern as soon as you get it ;) 

My style is bright and happy! 

My inspiration comes from traditional designs, nature and my love of colour.

I've been blogging since 2009 so there is a lot to look at here!

Sign up for my newsletter to know when I have new patterns and sales.

I also have free patterns that are only available to my newsletter subscribers :)

I have been quilting with online quilters for over 10 years. This quilt, my Liberated Churn Dash quilt, started as a block I designed for an online quilt bee. 

You can see my original tutorial for the block here

Liberated Churn Dash tutorial

This year it's a pattern I'm using to make another one as part of the Inventory Quilt Project. 

What's an Inventory Quilt?

As part of the project, this pattern is 20% off in my online shop with code IQ20

Liberated Churn Dash quilt pattern

I was pleased to see that other Inventory Quilt Project designers are participating in this quilt show too! That's part of the fun of a show too, right? Meeting up with people you rarely get to see. 

Quilt Social

I am also a blogger over at QUILTsocial. I review PFAFF sewing machines and make projects to share. You can see what I've been up to by clicking here.

New patterns

This spring I am releasing 3 patterns with new fabric lines from Dear Stella. 

You can find them in my online pattern shop.

Sew Joy Creations

I am also giving digital copies of these 3 patterns as my prizes for this quilt show.

Be sure to enter the rafflecopter giveaway to be entered.

Show Special

Like most quilt shows, there are specials to be had. I thought it would be fun to put together a bundle of my patterns that use precuts. Most quilters have precuts in their stash and can always use another pattern or two for inspiration. 

The show special is only available until the quilt show ends!

 Get all 3 patterns for $10

If you don't have precuts, I've written a blog post to help you make some from your yardage.

How to Make your own 10 inch squares

And I show how I used my homemade squares to make the Churn Baby Churn pattern.
