Craftsman quilt remake + new hard copy patterns!

Some fun news to share – I have finally professionally published 5 of my most popular patterns in hard-copy booklet format. This has been a to-do list item for a long time and I excited to announce that they are finally ready for purchase in my Pattern Shop as well as for wholesale distribution (see info at bottom of the post).

The patterns include Lattice (my all-time best seller), Chain Link, Hopscotch, Double Crossed, and Craftsman.

Since I was no longer in possession of my original Craftsman quilt – and since it was time for an update too – I had this one remade with help from my stunt double, Diane.

For this version we used Amanda Herring’s latest collection, Into the Garden, from Riley Blake Designs. The colors and prints in this collection are so lush and pretty.

Post Update: Into the Garden is no longer in print, but this pattern is fabulous for any of your favorite large scale prints of which there are always an abundant choice. Check the Fat Quarter Shop for a huge selection of what’s available now!

Quilting was done by Melissa of Sew Shabby Quilting.

This pattern is fat-quarter friendly and designed specifically for showing off large-scale patterns as well as bright colors that pop in contrast to the white sashing.

Hard-copy patterns are full color booklets, printed on cardstock. They, as well as updated PDF versions, are both available in my Pattern Shop. (
