Saturday Special

Hello All,

It's almost time for our Saturday special on the Q&N forum. I hope you are planning on joining us for a fun day of sewing!

Here is my pattern, minus the simple border....I ran out of fabric for it, and can't find anything other in my stash to go there. lol

This is my Pats Gems pattern. It will be a free event, just come to the forum, sign in, and chat with us as we all sew together. I'll have the pdf up early in the morning (Pacific time), Saturday, May 18th. The pdf will stay up for one month, then I'll take it down.

It's an easy pattern, and goes together fairly quickly. Lots of chain piecing.

Here is my good friend Pats' lovely version! She was one of my testers. Thank you Pat.

Hope to see you there! Oh, and I have a button over on the right side of my screen. You are welcome to put it on your blog.

Have a great day.

 

WIP Wednesday

Good afternoon Ya'all,

It's a gorgeous day here in California. The sun is out, the wind is blowing... the wind would be nice if it didn't stir up all the pollen and throw it around. lol

I'm working on my Pats Gems pattern. I'm doing a Saturday special on it next month (a free pattern for you all) and I'm testing  and tweaking so it's ready to go.

 

Don't you just love these vibrant, beautiful colors! Mostly it's the Simply Color line, by Vanessa and Co.

I had to throw a few solids and some Chevrons in there too.

Linking up with Lee.

Have a great day.

 

Saturday Special

Hello Folks,

Next month, I'm hosting a Saturday special over on the Q&N! It's my Pats Gems pattern, and it will be free for one month, then I'll take it down.

 We would love for you to come over and spend the day or part of the day, sewing along with us. Sharing what fabrics you're using, and posting pictures of your progress along the way.

It's an easy pattern that was made with charm packs in mind. Layer cakes are easily used also. And if you have yardage to use instead, that works too. You will be using 5" squares for the quilt. So even scraps will work. You will need five different colors. The quilt measures roughly 54"x70".

You will need seventy-five 5" squares: These are the colors I used. I bought 2 charm packs to make it.

10 green
  9 pink
12 purple
24 blue
20 orange
     

You will also need 2.5 yrds of a contrasting background fabric. You want your five colors to really stand out against the background.

If you have FQ's, you can use them too! Here is the run down on that... (Thanks Pat!) Cut them into 5" squares.

1 green
1 pink
1 purple
2 blue
2 orange

Here is my original Pat's Gems pattern.

But I changed it up a bit for my Saturday Special. The one we will be making is larger, without the pieced border.
