New Patterns - Halloween, Deer, Martial Arts, and Game Time

This new pattern started as just the spider by customer request, but my daughter decided we should turn it into a Halloween quilt. So I added the border of fun things that remind me of Halloween, making it a large throw, 60x66. The perfect blanket to snuggle up under while waiting for trick-or-treaters.

Deer - This too was a originally a customer request. She wanted the image to be twin sized. The finished size is 66x87, so plenty of overhang for a twin size bed. Making this one of the largest images I have designed. You can see here that it just covers a queen size bed, so if you want to add your own borders you could easily make this for a full or queen size bed.

Marital Arts - This design has two variations short hair as shown above and longer hair pulled back in a ponytail. It comes in my traditional 3 sizes: 36x42, plus 24x28 and 48x56. The simple design gives you lots of room to play with colors. Make sure to check out the pattern page to see some options I posted and get those creative juices flowing.

And don't forget to browse all my fall sports. I have added a new Football Mascot, the promised Swimming throw size variations, and I have Running and Soccer. And let me know if there is another sport you would like to see.

Game Time - Maybe you prefer to stay in when the weather gets cold. This design was inspired by my Husband and sons who are all gamers. Another large Lap quilt for gamers of all ages.

Tips and Hints

This is a very simple but helpful tip. If you are having trouble see the divisions on the labeled image simply us a blank piece of paper or a ruler to help you focus on the area you are working on.

I have a few different cat patterns, was a Cheetah was suggested a while back at a show. I finally gave it a try. It took a few tries to get it right, but I am really please with the result. This one was made in rich batiks, but I would love to try it again in softer colors for a baby's jungle room.
