Sew Sweet Retreat

This past weekend was the Sew Sweet Retreat in Brunswick MO and it was a great time.  This was the first year for the retreat by Sew Sweet Quilt Shop and I would say it was a success.  Jeanette and Jessica the shop owners was wonderful hostesses.  Everything was set up beautifully and you could not have asked for nicer staff and participants.

The shop was gorgeous, sorry no pictures of the shop but believe me it was great and yes I spent my fair share and then some.  They carry all the current collections by Moda and others.  The shop was 2 full floors or books, patterns and fabric.

I had the opportunity to meet and spend time with Tula Pink, WOW is all I can say.  She gave an excellent lecture on how she designs her fabric lines.  Did you know she does all the original drawings herself for each of her fabric lines?  Amazing

I taught 2 different classes

NIN's Personal Bag

What a great bunch of ladies.  Everyone finished the bag and all used it the next day.  How cool is that!!

Sew Sweet Stars

Each star was different and each was beautimous!! (as my Mom would say)

A great time was had by all.

Thank you Jeanette and Jessica

Until next time

Inside the Cissy Bag

Here's a look at the inside of the Cissy Bag.  I love pockets so I made sure there were plenty on the inside of all my bag patterns.

Cissy Bag

I started out today determined to make the perfect bag.  I have lots of bags, but I wanted one that was just the right size, just the right amount of pockets, just the right handles, and just the right closure.  So this is what I came up with.

I love it!!!

Pattern coming soon.

Wow  It has been a long time.

I have a very good excuse.  My husband had to have a total knee replacement.  So I kinda been a nurse, which is not my calling.  I took good care of him and he is doing great.  No thanks to me he did all the hard work.

I do have a few new patterns to show you.  I hope you like them as much as I do.  They are easy, fun and a few new techniques to go with them.

Enjoy and let me know what you think.  If you would like a pattern just leave a comment or send me an email.  thepatchdesigns@yahoo.com

Round We Go

Card Trick  This one has a new technique with no half square triangles

My Favorite Stars  This one makes a great throw, bigger than what I usually make.

This quilt is way outside the box for me, but I think I like it.

Stay tuned for more new patterns.
