Block Wednesday!
My theme this week is picking flowers, which might be the BEST part of being a gardener right? Go out to your own flower beds and pick a vase full of blooms! Divine! I have an old splatterware jug that belonged to Gregg's grandmother. I fill it each spring.
We also have the next set of small blocks, so fun! This is a PERFECT time to use up smaller pieces to make a scrappy block. Keep reading to see my tips and the section together, then the Download for my pattern this week is in PINK
TIPS FOR DIE CUTTING
- Always move your dies around so that you don't keep cutting on the same section.
- I've found that when I angle the die on the shim it does a few things. First it more evenly distributes the die across the roller that is pressing to cut the fabric. Which means it won't be as loud.
- It also creates more even pressing areas on the shims so that you don't have a hard line. That keeps the shims from bending as much.
- I live with an engineer, he had to play with this to figure it out. it's what they do.. they can't help themselves. Do you know an engineer? Then you know what I mean!
** BUY A GEMINI Die Cut machine, I love mine! **

I need some quilts for spring.
Summer
I need more spring things, for some reason I’m lacking in wall hangings for the spring months.
Springtime! I’m recovering from the holidays.
I’m looking at the tulip wall hanging/throw as I want to make a flower throw for my friend in memory of her Mom. Then I need a winter wall hanging as I keep Christmas up way too long.
I need Summer quilts. I have a large Spring quilt that stays up most of the year!
I need more fall runners.
I need Spring and Summer table toppers/runners! I can always use more seasonal walhangings! Never have enough!
oh, Fall is so invigorating. The colors are so inspirational. With Christmas right around the corner I am quilting and finishing up the gifts for the holidays.
I don’t have anything Halloween, and just had some fabric giving to me for just that! So that will be on the list this fall.
I could use a new Spring project.
I love all of your beautiful quilts in your new book! My first project is going to be the tulip quilt. Congratulations!
Each season has it’s own charm, appeal but I can never get enough of fall colors
Need a quilt for winter. Just finished my first quilt and it looks like summer. I did a beginning quilt class and so proud of completing it and would like to “try” another one but have it look like a winter quilt.
I like doing winter, makes me feel warm and cozy on those snowy days
I could sure you more spring quilts or table runners.
Summer quilts for sure!
I need the pumpkin for a table topper!! Also,a summer quilt!!
Thank you!!
Definitely need more designs for Spring!
Lol, baby season! A set of twin boys and one of unknown sex at this time! I’m so excited! I make twin size quilts so they are useful longer.
I need to make a new spring/summer table runner. Maybe I’ll use some of Pat’s Garden blocks.
I really need quilts and table runners for Fall.
I’m short in spring and summer quilted items.
I’d love a fall quilt, a tablerunner and some pillows.
I love the fall!

I definitely could use more fall decorations. Actually I love all the seasons, and I love to make quilts.
I need summerish quilts and runners
I need more winter. Not Christmas. Winter.
I need more spring quilts. I did Merry and Bright so I have a Christmas quilt and have a flannel quilt I use in the winter
I
love making seasonal quilts.
Spring and summer are the seasons that I love to sew for. I do wall hangings, placemats, quilts, table runners, and pillows and change them out for each season and also Christmas. I love the new book! Congratulations! Thanks for all your great work!
I need a new Spring and Summer table runner. Love the tulips in your new book!
I would like to make a summer quilt. Thanks for your patterns.
I need a spring wall hanging for sure. I love the tulips and the bird and nest would work for spring for me.
Fall would be nice!

Seems like I have no problem with fall & winter, but then spring comes, the garden beckons & I never seem to get more summery projects finished! thanks for your new book & giveaway.
always NEED another fall quilt….
I need spring and summer quilts or wallhangings/runners
Definitely fall quilts, with their gorgeous colors, would be my choice for new seasonal quilts!😻
Each year I plan a Christmas quilt or hanging – and never get it done. This year I’d love to be “ahead of the game” – although spring and summer might be nice too!
Fall
I think I love the bold colors of fall & the pure bright colors of spring. So I would love to have patterns/ideas for those seasons. And March 13th is my 61st birthday! Yay for me, made it another year.
I really need too update my decorations for all seasons but especially for summer. I don’t have much for that season at all
Spring, I diff. need something to tell me it is Spring. I am so tired of winter in the Northwest.
I don’t have enough fall/winter quilts, especially for Christmas. I plan to remedy that this year. Thanks for all your free patterns and guidance, Pat.
I need a spring quilt. It seems that I have all the other seasons but no spring.
I need more summer quilts … Plenty of winter and fall but definitely need the summer. Oh, and maybe another Spring or two … or … LOL I love to quilt. Someone I know can always use another!!
I’m always looking for fall quilts
I need summer and fall quilting!
