New Patterns for Fall and a Giveaway!

The fall weather and scenery is gorgeous in New Hampshire right now and it's making me want to bake, consume vast quantities of apple cider and donuts, and above all, do some fall quilting!

I've got a couple of new patterns for fall to share with you and, even better, a giveaway!

First off is my Monster Mash quilt.  This little quilt first appeared in American Patchwork & Quilting magazine last fall, but the pattern is now available in my Etsy shop.  This quilt is 19½"—a great size to hang on your front door to greet your trick-or-treaters!


Next up is my brand new pattern Pumpkin Patch.  I love the scrappy pumpkin and Shoo Fly blocks on this one.  It's a super simple pattern—perfect for a beginner.  I made mine for fall, but if you change up the color palette by substituting in some black and purple for the tan and brown, it would be great for Halloween.  The pattern for Pumpkin Patch is also available in my Etsy shop.




And now it's time for the giveaway!  My Holiday Twinkle lap quilt is featured in the current issue of McCall's Quilting magazine and to celebrate, I'm going to give away a copy of the magazine and a little something extra.  



Holiday Twinkle is a fun-to-make sampler quilt that finishes at 66" square—a great size for draping over the arm of a chair or couch or for curling up under with a good book.


I've got a little fabric left over from this project, so I'm also going to give away two little charm square bundles.  Each bundle contains 12 - 5" squares of fabric from the "Merry Starts Here" collection by Sweetwater for Moda—clearly not enough to make the quilt, but definitely enough for a bit of fun! 


For a chance to win, simply look for the giveaway posts on either Facebook or Instagram and enter there.  I'll announce a winner on Monday, October 14th.  Good luck!
