Tea-lightful by Thistledown & Co has been quilted with swirls to represent steam rising.  The binding was all machine stitched with a winding pink stitch.  All the work is done and it’s time for a tea break with a couple muffins.  Mmmm.

And while I sip my tea and nibble on my muffins I’ll show you a few more patterns from Thistledown & Co.

Bertie The Butterfly is fluttering about against a background of flowers.  This 9″ x 11″ quilt is made with fabrics printed from the Push-Button Prints CD.

The Coneflower Calypso pattern is shown in two color ways. . . soft and pretty & bright and bold.  A sheet of Whisperlite is included for the fusible parts of this project.

When winter hits us full force and you are wishing summer were here, you can work on Beachwalk and escape for a bit.   The center of this lap quilt (54″ x 60″) is a blanket with all the beach necessities surrounded by several pairs of brightly colored flip flops.

Here are some no-calorie sweets.  Lollipop Garden combines easy applique with a stacked coin border for a bright, fun quilt.

Well, the tea is gone, the muffins are but crumbs, so it’s back to the sewing room!

The second pattern giveaway is over, but we have one more group of patterns by Thistledown & Co to giveaway.  Check back later today for details…. and for a discount code good all week long on any patterns from Thistledown.

The random number generator selected Jocelyn’s comment.  Toy Box Treasures and Boo-Dazzled will soon be on their way to Jocelyn. 

Happy quilting Jocelyn!

Congrats to Jeanie who won the “early bird” prize of Backyard Friends!  The random number generator selected comment number 3.  Jeanie said “Sweet pattern. And when the winds of winter begin to howl, this would be a great project reminder of the warmer weather to follow!”.

A bird sitting in front of his bird house, a bee buzzing around, and a few tulips in a pot (is that a lady bug on the flower pot?) make a cute wallhanging. By the time you finish this pattern you’ll be hooked on paper piecing if you aren’t already.

Have fun with your pattern Jeanie!

Here are two more patterns from MH Designs that we’ll be giving away. 

Fall Wreath  This colorful wall hanging is season appropriate!  Hurry though, because you know how quickly winter will follow.

Animal Grow Chart

An adorable chart for tracking your little ones’ growth.  Are your “little ones” all grown up?  Then it’s perfect for the grandkids.  

One person will win both patterns.  The rule for this giveaway:  Leave a comment and tell us what color will dominate your fall wreath when you make it.  A random number generator will select the winner from all comments posted now through midnight Friday.

Some of us are still experiencing a heat wave but Fall really will be here before we know it!  It’ll be time to put away the watermelon theme placemats and the sailboat wall hanging and replace them with your favorite fall quilts.    And time to make something new to add to your collection.

 Fall Glory is a two for one quilt pattern.  The large Fall Glory quilt (54″ x 67.5″) and the small Acorn Trail quilt (48″ x 59.5″) are both perfect as wall hangings.   You could also toss them across a couch or easy chair for snuggling under on cool autumn evenings.  Applique instructions are given for both hand and machine.

                                                                                           Measuring just 15″ square, this small Fall Wreath really packs a punch of color.  Foundation piecing makes the construction easy and precise.

With Perennial Favorites you can make a 24″ x 40″ Fall table runner and have instructions (including applique patterns) for a Christmas runner and a Spring/Summer table runner.  You’ll be set for the year!

Anne Cosgrove’s book All For Fall will give you quilts to make for this Fall, and some for next Fall too.  Projects include large quilts, wall hangings, pillows, table runner, table topper, placemats and more.  Anne repeats many of the design elements in the different items so if you make more than one your pieces will complement one another for a beautiful coordinated Fall look.

After you check out these and other quilt patterns, look at the Vine Creek and Gobble Gobble quilt fabric collections…. they are perfect for Fall projects.
