Meet 80’s Geese: I designed 80’s Geese in October of 2016. I can’t remember exactly why… It’s obviously a spin-off from the 70’s Geese pattern, and I think it was partially to create a block that was easier to assemble, and also for the different design possibilities that this block construction added that isn’t available […]

Meet River Pond: River Pond was originally created for Stash Builder Box and was featured in their October 2016 box!  “Heaven is under our feet as well as over our heads.”Henry David Thoreau, Walden River Pond captures me as a mountain landscape reflected in the waters below. While a perfectly still reflection, the movement also […]

Meet Heart Attack: I designed Heart Attack in January of 2019. I released this right before we moved to Mississippi, so I let my kids pick out and design their own hearts which we turned into teacher gifts. We LOVED our North Dakota teachers so much!! They are still some of our top favorite teachers […]

Meet Home Lovin: Home Lovin is a pattern I designed soon after we moved to Mississippi in 2019. We bought our first house, and it really was exactly what I wanted! (Including a bit of a fixer upper!) 😀 I spent the first six months, painting rooms, painting cabinets, replacing and installing flooring, we updated […]

Meet Crayon Mug Rug: Crayon Mug Rug started with this Pencil Mug Rug pattern that I made while we lived in Florida (sometime in 2014). I had seen some pencils on a pouch that a friend made and decided to make a pattern of pencils into a mug rug. Pencil Mug Rug by Diane Bohn, […]

Meet Birthday Cake Mini: The Birthday Cake Mini pattern was created as a FREE pattern for my newsletter subscribers in 2016. As I was just sitting here looking at this pattern, I thought it would also be fun to only use the top tier, and make a tall straight sided cake with a few tiers. […]

Meet My First Alphabet: I’m not sure this pattern needs an introduction. This is hands down the MOST used pattern that anyone buys. And for good reasons. This is such a fun pattern to use over and over and over again. And that’s what I always hear from y’all! Thank you!! My First Alphabet is […]

Meet Cathedrals: I designed Cathedrals in May of 2014. We lived in Florida at the time and it was right before we moved to Idaho. I think we moved the week I released it. So I’ve always felt like this pattern kind of got swept under the rug and forgotten. The main block is one […]

Meet 70’s Geese: I designed 70’s Geese for a swap I was in. (It must have been a Flickr swap – because that’s when I was most involved in swaps. Those were the best!!) That was in March of 2012! Cray-cray! ;p I recall that part of the reason I named it 70’s Geese was […]

Meet Dusk: Dusk is a fun story! In about May of 2015, Leila sent me a photo of a paper craft she had in her window, and asked if I could make a pattern based off of it. It was a 9 pointed star, which is not a typical design, and is the reason why […]
