Christmas Party Quilt Pattern
November 17, 2017 by Leave a Comment
Meet Christmas Party! My newest quilt pattern! I was totally inspired by a fat quarter bundle of Cotton + Steel Noel that I bought from Fat Quarter Shop!
I loved all the retro designs and the fun prints. I designed this pattern so you could let your favorite Christmas theme prints be the star of the quilt!!! It’s so whimsical – just like a Christmas Party!! The quilt measures 67″ x 77″ and uses 20 fat quarters, background yardage and border yardage. The circle blocks measure 12″ and the swirl blocks measure 6″.
You can purchase the PDF quilt pattern in my Etsy shop and download it instantly.
I wish I had a fun Christmasy background for my photos – it’s still 80 degrees here in California!
Baby Mufasa loves every new quilt!!!
You could easily change out the color scheme and go more traditional red and green – or – it would work for any holiday – or – it would be cute with your favorite new collection of fabric!!
Such a lovely Christmas background….hahahah!! You gotta love California!!
I hope you love the pattern! Sew along with me and use the hashtag #christmaspartyquilt on Instagram!!!

The Good in the Good Life Quilt Pattern
October 23, 2017 by Leave a Comment
In our family we have a little saying….well actually it’s song lyrics….. “You put the GOOD in the GOOD LIFE.” I knew I had to use the Good Life fabric from Moda and I knew the quilt had to have words. So meet my newest quilt pattern!
This whimsical quilt measures 37″ square and is perfect to hang on a wall, place on a table, or give as a gift to someone who puts “good” in your life :). The border is made entirely from charm squares, which is super fun because I collect charm packs! It’s available in my Etsy shop as a PDF download for only $5.00!!
The letters are machine appliquéd. Yes, you have to cut them all by hand, but it’s kind of fun! I put on a movie, sat down with my scissors, and it went by fast!
I thought I would be a nerd and pose with my quilt while my 9 year old took my picture….hahah!
The blocks are super fun to make and I love that you can use all the fabrics in a charm pack.
I Love Cats Halloween Wallhanging

I had a leftover kitty pumpkin quilt block from my “I Love Cats Quilt” so I came up with this fun little wallhanging! It measures 20″ square so you could turn it into a pillow if you wanted to.
I love hanging little quilts all over my house – they make everything so cozy! Below are the instructions to make the mini quilt. The center block measures 10 1/2″ unfinished.
I love fall so much!

I Love Cats {Quilt Pattern}
October 4, 2017 by 5 Comments
I am so totally super excited to be sharing this pattern today! Meet “I Love Cats” – the quilt pattern! This quilt has been a labor of love and has been a long time in the making! I was first inspired by this amazing bundle of Cotton + Steel woven gingham fat quarters. I knew I wanted something to totally show my love for gingham. Then my love for cats creeped in and I knew this was the perfect quilt!
Then I started decorating for fall and I knew this quilt would look amazing in a Halloween version!
The pattern is available in my Etsy shop and it includes instructions on how to make both versions of the quilt.
I can’t decide which version I like better
Mufasa was an integral part of the design process, as you can see 🙂
There are 3 rows of cats and 4 rows of hearts. This is such a fun way to show off your favorite fabrics! and who doesn’t love gingham!! More gingham please!!
For the Halloween version, I had so much fun making these scrappy pumpkins!
Each black cat is from a different fabric – no two are the same! I think I will name each one 🙂
Mufasa, again, always so helpful!
This is my new favorite Halloween quilt! I can’t wait to get it off to the quilter!
I hope you love this pattern! Join in the fun on Instagram and use the hashtag #ilovecatsquilt and be sure to tag me @jedicraftgirl!!
