New Hearthsewn Pattern available!

Hearthsewn Patterns has a new pattern available. I absolutely LOVE it! Check this out:

It's called Christmas Cactus Swirl. My inlaws live in Tucson, Arizona, so I would love to have it made for them! If you're interested in this quilt pattern by Jodi G. Warner, here's the link to her site: http://www.hearthsewnpatterns.com/NewReleases.html Enjoy!

Medic, medic! Here's some new designs!

For the quilters and the non-quilters! Hearthsewn Patterns has just released the new christmas stocking pattern for 2010! If you know someone in the medial field, this would be a great gift for them. Here's a picture of what you can make using machine paper foundation piecing, hand and dimensional applique:

In celebration of this fun stocking, I thought I'd do a few designs that go along with it:

Also, here's one design that I haven't shown yet:

This is the Angel Moroni statue that is found on the top of most LDS temples.

Enjoy!

Christmas confetti created by you! With your Silhouette!

And the sneak peek...I'm hoping everything works out and we're able to make this available quickly. It still has to be approved by Silhouette...it's....CONFETTI! Each design comes with confetti shapes already arranged to fit on an 8.5 x 11 sheet. (This doesn't mean the shapes go all the way to edge, you still need room for the rollers and margin.) It gets even better. Once you have cut your shapes out, your "scap" can be used for backgrounds, accents, whatever your heart can dream. I had intended to design it just for the confetti. Once I cut mine, I was amazed with how beautiful the "scrap" was. I will be using this for my neighborhood gift tags or something like that. As soon as I have it finished I will post a picture. I would love to see what you are doing too! Email what you have done to modaley2@msn.com and I'll post a few of them.
Anyway, here are the photos:

Christmas confetti in use. *If you like the stocking, you can check out http://www.hearthsewnpatterns.com/. Jodi G. Warner is the women behind Hearthsewn Patterns. She does some amazing things. She is pretty famous in the quilting world through the Utah area. Every year, she comes out with a new "Bear..." stocking. These are darling stockings that always have a pouch for a stuffed bear that she gives directions for. I'm not sure if the stocking in the photo is for sale as a pattern, but if you like this, you're sure to like the other things she sells. One you are sure to adore is "Christmas Wishes". Here's the link: http://www.hearthsewnpatterns.com/NewReleases.html  and look for "Christmas Wishes" HSN 185. It's a darling wall quilt with a gorgeous dove and the words "Merry Christmas. It may be too late to make it up for this year, but why not work on it for next!

Anyway, now that I've given you my little buzz on her, on to the next confetti picture:

I was halfway done pulling off the confetti, and thought you might want to see a little peak of how the template is set up. See that white space...won't that make a gorgeous lace? I'll post a picture of the actual "scrap" tomorrow, so stay tuned.

And here are what the individual shapes look like. Again, these are arranged in the template to just about cover your cutting space on an 8.5x11 sheet. That's a nice amount of cute confetti without much cost!

Alright, so don't forget to answer the previous questions, send me pics of what you've done, and...oh yeah, take the poll on the right!

Enjoy!
