For the whole month of April, Jennifer at Sewhooked has been featuring a different pattern designer every day on her blog. Each designer has designed a paper pieced pattern and will post it for free on their assigned day. The only guidelines were the theme "Garden Party" and the size, 10" finished blocks. There are some great patterns posted so far. My day is April 29th so check back to see my interpretation of the theme and get your free pattern.
Jennifer is also giving away a prize every week and several of the designers are having giveaways along with their free patterns. So,click here to go to the Garden Party Blog Hop and pick up some free patterns. If you have never paper pieced before,there are alot of great tutorials posted on the web. There are a few newer methods since I learned to paper piece too. If you tried paper piecing before and didn't like it, try a different method.
On a different note, we found a house!! It's only 2 blocks from where we live right now which is also two blocks closer to my quilting buddy Linda of L&R Designs Quilting. So, at some point, there will be lots of quilting going on. We take possession of our new home on April 27th but don't have to be out of our current home until May 15th so we have time to do alot of updating. I have been planning a new kitchen and bathrooms as well as picking out appliances, flooring, paint colors, etc. I plan to show before and after pictures of the remodel as we go along so this blog may be more about decorating than quilting for awhile as I am an Interior Designer when I'm not quilting.
And my daughter is due to have baby #5 on April 26th!! Lots of stuff going on besides quilting.
