FREEE Paper Pieced Christmas Blocks

July 20, 20207 Comments

Hello! It’s Cindy bragging about Sandy designing the cutest paper pieced Christmas block patterns. 2 trees black background Since Sandy designed 4 very adorable blocks, we’re hosting a PAPER PIECING SEW ALONG. You can make a Christmas banner, a table runner or a mini wall hanging. We think either one is guaranteed to make your 2020 holidays brighter!

The first block is a rustic evergreen tree. For printing these patterns, we suggest using thin copy paper or a special paper made for paper piecing from your favorite quilting store.

Since I am a novice at paper piecing, I used colored pencils to color code the rustic tree block pattern. This helped me to keep track of the fabrics I was using for each section. Who said you have to color within the lines? Not me! Colored pencils tip Here’s a close up of my first tree. I had fun picking out these fabrics! Green tree Do you need a paper piecing tutorial? Here’s a link to a great tutorial by Crafty Gemini. Sandy and I both learned our paper piecing skills from Vanessa.

Stepping Stones – A Free Quilt Pattern

June 12, 202024 Comments

Good morning! We are anxious to share this new quilt pattern with you, it’s hot off the press! Sandy and I decided to call this quilt “Stepping Stones” because it reminds us of when we were back on the farm, heading out to get the cows for milking. We had to cross the creek pictured below. When you’re a little girl, crossing something like this seems daunting! We would always step on the stones to try and keep our feet dry. Scenic creek This is a fast and easy quilt created with a colorful 40 piece jelly roll and 11 solid white jelly roll strips to make the colors pop. Here’s a close up view. You can download this FREE pattern by clicking on this link: Stepping Stones 06 12 20

We’ll also be posting this pattern to one of our favorite quilting websites, FaveQuilts. This is a great website for lots of free quilting patterns, tutorials and inspiration.
