Ravelry

I have recently gotten all of my patterns listed on Ravelry.  I love that people can download the files right there.  They don't have to wait for me to send an email.  I have also set it up so that there is a $3.00 discount for every 3 patterns purchased done automatically without a coupon code or special listing.  It's wonderful!

I have not had time to get some new patterns completed yet.  I plan to do some sort of poll on facebook for which one to work on first, otherwise I will try to do 3 or more at once.  Not a good idea.  Some of the suggestions will be:

  • people-girl, boy, princess, prince
  • weather-cloud, rain, and sun
  • farm-tractor, sheep, pig, etc
  • piper posy


I am really looking forward to coming up with new ideas as well.  I should be able to focus on just that later this week.

Also going to set up a section in my shop for ready-to-ship applique.  Hopefully I can still offer a few of them that way.

It was a busy week!

Since the last post, I have
  • finished a couple orders of applique
  • received a couple orders for more
  • had 2 requests for patterns
  • which turned into 4 patterns because the one needed buddies
Ok when I put it in bullet form it doesn't seem like much but trust me it was!

Here are the newest patterns:


Music Notes pattern available here.

Rescue Vehicle Pattern Pack available here.
Or individually Police CarFire Truck, and Ambulance.


I have taken down my hair clips and applique in my Etsy shop so that I can focus on creating patterns. In the coming weeks, I would like to work on a few themes like people (including princess), weather, farm, more vehicles (including train, bus, car, truck) and any other ideas that come my way.  Stay tuned!

Weekend Creations

Weekends are the days I like to devote my time to writing patterns and coming up with new things.  I work on things through the week too, but it's nice to have the weekends just for that.

This weekend I finished up my Loopy Patterns.  They are one of the first things I had been making for appliques and clips.

Loopy Flower Pattern available here.

 Loopy Butterfly Pattern available here.


They are available in my shop and also available together in a pattern pack here.

I finished up my spider pattern as well.  More for Halloween, but I wanted to share early.

Spider Pattern available here.

New creations possibly coming in pattern form soon:

Here is my first version of a princess inspired by a friend of mine.  


Sun and cloud inspired by a customer.
