Hello, friends!
Last week I released the updated Birds of Prey pattern and also a fun cow printable.
With those new items I have everything I need to release THREE new bundles. But first…
and
You used to only be able to get these patterns as part of the Woodland Critters applique pattern.
Now they’re free!
Combine the Simple Trees with the Bunches of Bears or Backyard Birds pattern, or make a more woodsy neighborhood for your Shiny Happy Houses! Add the Mushrooms to your Wild Flower gardens! Mix and match to your heart’s content!
Both of these could be used with regular square blocks, but my samples are on half blocks. Half blocks are a terrific way to complexify a simple grid pattern, and I’ve got an easy guide to help you out.
Head over to this post and you’ll see some examples of other quilts that use the Added Half-Block Layout. There’s also a link to download a handy-dandy PDF where I did all the heavy lifting for you to make an Added Half-Block Quilt using any of my square block patterns. I provide a materials lists, cutting instructions, and layout guides for six different sizes, from Itty Bitty Baby to King.
Have fun!
New Bundles!
I’ve been adding more and more animals that will work with the old Woodland Critters applique pattern, but until now you’ve had to buy those additional patterns individually.
Now they’re available as deeply discounted bundles, replacing the more limited Woodland Critters pattern.
This one says ten animals, but that pheasant is tricky because the pattern also includes the pieces needed for quail and grouse - so really you could make twelve blocks with this bundle.
This one also has bonus blocks. I show a red-shouldered hawk here, but the same pattern also makes a bald eagle (or just about any other raptor). And the snake pattern includes pieces for the diamondback pattern you see, but also stripes.
Both bundles also include the new tree and mushroom patterns, and also the free ABC pattern so you’ll have all those downloads in one big group.
Get the Woodland Bundle #1 here, and the Woodland Bundle #2 here. And remember - your discount codes DO work on these already discounted bundles for an additional discount.
If you’re a paid subscriber, keep reading all the way to the end for a chance to win some of my woodland sample blocks. 🙂
One more bundle!
Now that I have printable cow art, I can make this cute discounted bundle of four farm animals! Get the bundle here.
Whew!
That’s what I’ve been doing. Now it’s time to see what you’ve been making!
Take a look at the gorgeous quilt that Allison made for her grandson’s first birthday!!! She used the Playful Puppies pattern and a terrific collection of fabric to make thirty different dogs - all adorable!
Head over to the Shiny Happy People group on Facebook to see lots more wonderfulness people are making with my patterns—and to ask questions and share photos of your own projects. It’s my favorite place on the internet!
Thanks so much for reading! Have a fabulous week!
Happy stitching!
Best,
Wendi
