Patterns for Kaisley Rose Projects

Happy Saturday! It is a beautiful afternoon in Kansas and I am happy to be in my office getting work done before we leave for vacation...the house is quiet and I am taking advantage. I had a productive week, writing two new quilt patterns, stitching on new cross stitch models and working on client finishing/sewing orders. Things are humming along in my happy place...

Thank you all for the wonderful response to my latest quilt designs using the Kaisley Collection by Poppie Cotton - I received wonderful feedback on all four pieces...which is so encouraging! I have written comprehensive patterns for each of the designs: Tulip Table Runner, Alphabet House Mug Rugs, Cloud Nine Tea Cozy and Tenderhearted Tea Towels. I have combined these designs into two pattern that can be found in my Etsy Shop as digital download PDF patterns. The patterns are written to easily use your favorite fabric collection, precuts, and stash.

Tulip Table Runner and Alphabet House Mug Rugs

My Tulip Table Runner is made with simple four-patch blocks and appliqued tulips. I used fusible applique and attached the pieces with a blanket stitch. Templates are provided with the pattern to easily cut out the tulip shapes. This floral table runner measures 33" L x 12" W and can be enlarged by adding additional blocks. 

My Alphabet Mug Rugs feature the tulips from the table runner and a cottage designed from the house in the Kaisley Rose Sofia fabric print. Again, I used the fusible applique method with a blanket stitch to attach the pieces. I added mini rick rack to the house roof and a teeny tiny button for the door knob. I made two different colorways and instructions for both are included in the pattern, along with templates for all the shapes. I can envision this fun project worked up with wools!

Cloud Nine Tea Cozy and Tenderhearted Tea Towels

The Cloud Nine Tea Cozy is for a large 8-cup teapot. I have included a template for this size and detailed instructions for adjusting the size to fit your own teapot. I created a pieced patchwork for the front of the teapot cozy and used a single focal fabric for the back. I used coordinating hand-dyed 1" twill tape  for the lifting tab.

The Tenderhearted Tea Towels were created using heavy plaid kitchen towels purchased from a quilt shop. I added a strips of fabric and accented each with hand-dyed rick rack. These happy towels are the perfect addition to any kitchen - the fabric banners are a lovely finishing touch. Detailed instructions are included to use your favorite tea (kitchen) towel in any size. These work up quickly and make a lovely gift!

There you have it - information on my latest quilt patterns - I enjoyed designing and creating each of them and look forward to my next pattern ideas "coming to life." I am actually working on several new cross stitch charts for future release, as well. For now, I am ready to finish up at my desk and film a new FlossTube video...I have a few things to share and a giveaway winner to announce before we head out of town for a vacation next week...we'll see if I can get everything done! Thanks for stopping by for a visit - I hope we can "chat" again soon....
