Kalle Dress in Spoonflower Poplin

My goal for last summer was to upload some of my designs to Spoonflower, print some fabric and sew something from it. This is the result!

I use a lot of these Mod Circle Flowers in my quilt designs and they look good in smaller scales and in large scales. I had it printed in the Cotton Poplin which is a great weight for shirt dress. I've worn this a lot the last two months and I'm really happy how this has washed and worn. Looks as good as it did when it was first sewn.

The pattern is the Kalle Shirtdress by Closet Core Patterns. A great pattern I hadn't made one of these for a few years, but I've made three versions in the past two months. I'd forgotten how good it is.

I had some printed on the cotton lawn as well and I'm going to make a button up shirt from it.

You can find the Mod Flower fabric here in my Spoonflower shop.

 

Zigzag Quilt Pattern

I think I love designing quilts using layer cakes as much as I love designing with jelly rolls. This is my new Zigzag quilt pattern. I used a Petunia layer cake from Ruby Star Society. You can buy the pattern here in my shop!

 

Nina's Flower PDF Quilt Pattern

Nina's Flowers - a PDF quilt pattern.

I first made this quilt 15 years ago and I love this pattern just as much now. 

This version is made with a jelly roll of Flower Power by Maureen McCormick for Moda. 

I've rewritten and updated the pattern and it is now available in my shop.

 

Archways Quilt Pattern

Introducing the Archways Quilt Pattern!

It measures 48 1/2" x 60 1/2". (123cm x 154cm) but of course you can add blocks to make it bigger or take them away for a cot size quilt.

This quilt would look great in any colour combination and I have included a colouring in sheet so you can print it out and test different fabric ideas.

You can find the pattern in my Etsy shop here!

Arches and Loops PDF Pattern

 Introducing the Arches and Loops quilt pattern.

This is a fun modern quilt pattern which would be perfect on a couch or for a baby gift.

It measures 54 1/2" x 5 1/2" (139cm x 139cm) and is fat quarter friendly.

I've included a colouring in sheet so you can print it out, colour in and try a few different colour combinations!

You can find the pattern in my Etsy shop here.

Harmony Quilt PDF Pattern.

I have made so many versions of this pattern over the years. It is such a versatile design. Perfect for a baby gift, and it looks great on a couch or a bed. I love the process of choosing 4 coordinating fabrics for the main colours. But I've also made it with 8 and I've also made it as a two-colour quilt.

The pattern includes instructions for three sizes - 48 1/2" x 48 1/2", 56 1/2" x 56 1/2" and 64 1/2" x 64 1/2".

You can find the Harmony quilt pattern here in my shop. 

 

Fruit Tingles Quilt Pattern

 Summer holidays means reading, swimming and relaxing, but it also means I have more time for pattern writing and I have finally finished the Fruit Tingles pattern. This originally came out in a special precept edition of Quilter's Companion a few years ago. 

This is a quick and fairly easy pattern made from 2 1/2" strips. The fabric for the blocks can also be cut from 10" squares. So you can just grab a jelly roll, or a layer cake, and some background fabric and get sewing!

You can find the pattern here in my shop!
