New BaKe SaLe Patterns!!!!...

I have 3 of my 6 new 

Bake Sale patterns completed!

YaY!!!

Pattern writing is such a long process...

thanks so much for being patient with me :)

I hope to get the remaining 3 

completed in a week or so.

Here are some photos in

 no particular order of my 3 new patterns....

I hope you like them:)

"Cherry Bake"

I couldn't resist making another cherry quilt.

A girl can never have too many

 if you are a cherry lover like I am:)

I made this quilt for my kitchen table...

it's the perfect size and is fun to 

piece using my Easy Corner Triangle method.

I also think it would be fun to make a 

larger quilt by simply making more blocks.

I made the Cherry Bake runner using the

 leftover 2 1/2" strips from piecing 

the alternate blocks in the quilt.

And of course...a cherry pillow!

"Tulip Pots"

You know how I love tulips too!

I put my Thimble Ruler to work and used the large one 

to make the pots for this quilt.

The leaves and tulips are also pieced

 using my Easy Corner Triangle method.

I wanted to show off the tulip pots

 so I designed a simple sashing of 3" squares.

My friend Sherri pieced this one for me.

I simply ran out of time and so I 

sent her a completed tulip pot block...

my Thimble Rulers...

all of my cut pieces and my drawing for the quilt.

She promptly pieced the rest and sent it back

 to me just in time to get it quilted and bound for market.

Thanks Sherri!!!

I also had to make some pillows!

(i heart pillows too)

3 Tulips in a row.

I used my small Thimble Ruler

 for the pots on the pillow:)

"Mixing it Up!"

With each collection I always like to 

design a quilt with 

a favorite vintagey item.

Of course with Bake Sale being

 the theme of my latest...

a vintage mixer quilt is 

a must for every 

vintage girl's kitchen:)

They are mixing up some yummy cakes and cookies...

and there are several 

cute spatula's to scrape the sides of the bowl.

I designed the "beater blocks" for the border to 

look like the beaters twirling

 into the batter.

We always fought over who got to

 lick the beater when I was a girl:)

The beater blocks are fun and addicting to make.

I have a quick and easy method for making them...

I want to make a whole quilt just with these blocks!

But for now...

I added a beater block table runner

 into the pattern

 as well as my Patchwork Cookie Jar Cozy.

After all...

you need a cute jar for your homemade cookies

 that you made with your vintage mixer ...right?

I bought the jar at Walmart.

It's a 1 gallon size.

All 3 of my new patterns are now listed in my etsy shop...

Have a great weekend and a quilty kind of day!
