Hi girls! I'm so excited - I have three new patterns ready to go! These were all such fun to design and stitch! There are two full-sized patterns, and one "Charmette" pattern! My thanks go out to Sue, my graphics designer whose diagrams and finishing touches make these patterns so clear and easy to use! You're the best Sue!
First up we have "Stargazers"
a quick and easy strip quilt, made with stars and flying geese! It's the perfect quilt to snuggle under on a cool summer night, and do a bit of star gazing!
Next up, is "Changes"
another fun quilt to stitch and snuggle! This quilt has just one block, but the sashing and background of the blocks come together to create what looks like an additional "X" block with a tiny center square! Jumbo ric rac stitched on with the binding was the perfect finishing touch!
And, last but not least, is "Cuscini Piccoli"
which means "little pillows" in Italian! You can make 14 pincushions, from 7 different patterns using just 1 charm pack and 1/2 yard of background fabric! These little pincushions are a cinch to make - and SO fun!
In addition to these, all of our earlier patterns are now available in PDF format as well:
To keep things simple, I've decided that we will only be selling PDF Downloadable patterns. This means no shipping charges or waiting for you - and no printing and packaging - plus, it's better for the environment - Win, Win, Win!
Patterns are available only at Cotton Charm Quilts, and can be purchased here!
Coming Soon!
We have more new things in store for you! I have a new style of patterns I'll be releasing shortly called "Wee Charmers" - quick and easy little projects to bring a bit more love and joy to your homes!
And, I'm excited to announce that Carol of Brown Quilts will also be designing with us at Cotton Charm Quilts! Carol is working with Sue to complete graphics for her new quilt patterns - which we'll be releasing shortly! It's been such fun working with Carol - and I know you all are going to love her new patterns - they're really pretty!!
Giveaway!
Now, in celebration of all of this exciting stuff - I thought it would be fun to do a giveaway! I'll be giving away 2 full sets of patterns (each winner will receive all 8 patterns in PDF format)!
To enter, just leave a comment here between now and Friday! I'll announce our winners on Saturday!
Happy Stitching!
TTFN,
Kelly
Oh my...you have been really busy.. Love Katiebut and Jolly Ol' St Nick...

Thanks for a chance to win the patterns. Big hugs comin' to ya... By the way, I loved your post and the "REST" photo by the pool. Way to go girl!!!

Posted by: Cindy in NC | July 13, 2011 at 04:23 PM
I'm completely in love with any flying geese pattern. I love patterns that can have a solid background or muslin background. They remind me of my grandma. With your details you've taken quilt blocks and updated them to give timeless appeal to the modern quilter, the scrappy gal or quilter loyal to fabric families. Great job. I'll be watching your talents grow.
Posted by: Melanie | July 13, 2011 at 04:27 PM
These are all very nice and I'd love to win
Posted by: Patty D at NC | July 13, 2011 at 04:47 PM
