Free City Park bird pattern

I am so happy about the response to City Park. Because there has been so much hoorah, I have decided to make a pattern for the little City Park Bird. So feel free to use him on your quilt or a bag or an apron, and just know he came from the city

if you want to make a stuffie out of him, just double the body and wings and leave room for a seem allowance on the body. I just leave the face on one side, but you can do it down the seam if you want his eyes and beak on both sides. Let me know how it goes!

Free PDF File Creator

When I started creating quilting patterns, I needed a way to create them as a PDF file.  I checked into Adobe - which everyone is familiar with - but it wasn't cheap.  About a $100.00 per year.  Looking into other options - I found one that I was really happy with, and it was much less expensive.  In fact, one of the options is free.  I purchased the Lite version for $19.

Here's the link to the free PDF maker...NOVA PDF

The free download is on the upper right corner of the page.

Circle that!

For the I DO pattern, 3 different methods are recommended for creating the circles.  My favorite method, and the one I used is the six-minute circle from Pieced Curves So Simple by Dale Fleming / C&T Publishing.  I originally saw this method years ago on Simply Quilts.  If anyone is interested the demonstration is available online, as well as step by step photos.  Here's a link to the instructions.  It may just be my dyslexic mind not clicking along as it should - but according to the instructions in the book I thought that I needed a freezer paper shape for each circular block.  What I discovered was that I could use the freezer paper circles at least 4 times.  For those unfamiliar with the method, it all may sound a little wack, but if you make the quilt, it will all become very clear. 

have fun!

Patriotic Pizazz!

hey everybody, we wanted to share with you a Patriotic Pattern for Free! A lot of Humanitarian aid, guilds and church groups have been getting together to make quilts for troops, and soldiers, and all manner of peeps. Supporting soldiers, and families of soldiers is not supporting war, and as we all know it's important to do our part... and if all we can do is thank someone by giving a quilt, then how cool is that?
