Before I go any further....
I just want to say THANK YOU!!! to all who volunteered to help test the Modernitional Bear Paw pattern. Most of those volunteers have responded with news of having chosen fabric and are hard at work making a quilt to test the pattern. A few of them have also responded with the news that they have read over the pattern and have double checked the material list and cutting charts. I sure do appreciate everyone who has offered to help because it is becoming increasingly obvious that I am a little overwhelmed.
I have finished my quilt top. And completed the 84" x 84" version of the quilt.
Yesterday I managed to get this beast basted and quilted. Hoping for a Friday Finish!
As I had announced last week, I am anticipating my first ever vendor event at the upcoming International Plowing Match to be held in late August. And in anticipation of this event, I ordered some new business cards.
Because the end of August will be here before you know it, I want to have some of my other untested patterns ready for sale at this event . And I am looking for additional pattern testers to help with some other new patterns I have been working on but have not had the time to make. The following is a list of what I would expect to receive feedback on.
Is the information accurate and easy to understand? Do you have any suggestions on how to make the information easier to understand? How could the instructions be improved?
- Material List
- Cutting Chart
- Piecing Instruction
- Quilt Assembly
If you are able to put
It's your turn for Show and Tell!!!

ReplyDeleteLorna - the bear quilt is amazing. I am looking forward to see more renditions of the quilt. Unfortunately, I am not fast enough a sewist to take your beta testing request on.
ReplyDeleteOh my Goodness ... I cannot wait for Ay Chihuahua to be available. that grey/brown doggie looks just like a friend's dog. Mouse (he is a Xoloitzcuintli but it still looks just like him).
ReplyDeleteLorna! Your bear quilt is A M A Z I N G!!! I'm sure it will be a popular pattern!! I'm not a Chihuahua lover...but of that pattern is cute!
ReplyDeleteYou've got so many great patterns coming out! I wish I had the time to be a tester for Kissy Fishy, but sadly my summer is just too busy to commit. I'll have to remember it for next time I do a little pattern shopping though! Your business cards are very nice too!
ReplyDeleteA great quilt and those bear paw tracks in the borders really finish it off - too cute :)
ReplyDeleteOh darn I wish I had more time because I would volunteer for that Fishy quilt in a hot minute. So cute! :)
