Free Pattern "Midnight Garden"

Here's a great way to use that novelty print fabric you've been saving. I had fun playing with motifs and fussy cutting fabric. Some options are: A baby quilt using pastels, a patio quilt or table topper, or how about a vintage quilt. I'm sure you have ideas that will work for you.

To access the pattern click on the link below.

Enjoy and thanks for stopping by.

How To Add a Square End Binding Video

Hooray! After days, not hours, of taping a tutorial it's finally ready to view by the public. I've come to the conclusion that I'll never be an actress. The camera intimidates me. After this confession I share with you this video on how to add a square end binding to your quilt. No mitering corners.
Would love to have comments on my video debut.

Sharing a Talented Quilter


Southwestern Placemats
This beautiful version of my pattern was made by Delphia Anderson. The center of the pots are Delphia's original artwork. Her inspiration is based on Acoma pottery. She had a number of differant designs she drew, using fabric pens, and intends to use them in this pattern. What a talented lady. I'm honored that she chose to use my pattern with her artwork. 
Happy quilting,
Joan
