FREE Project : Tablet Coverlet
Hi there! Friday is almost here and it time to get some weekend sewing done! So I have a quickie free sewing project for you that will take no time at all. It's a Tablet Coverlet. Sew one up for yourself, a friend or your techy hubby or dad for Father's Day!
The Tablet Coverlet is a nice way to keep your electronics protected and make it personalized.
Although this is a simple project, I love using my BERNINA 780 for it. The machine makes this so effortless for my by cutting the thread for me at the end of my seam! Next time I think I'm going to quilt my Tablet Coverlet using free-motion stitching with the BERNINA Stitch Regulator (BSR). That would really make the solid Pure Elements fabric pop!
You can find the link to the Tablet Coverlet instructions here.

Happy sewing!

Quilt Market Recap and Giveaway!
Hello lovelies!
I'm so thrilled to be back from Spring Quilt Market and be able to share with you these juicy pictures of my booth, "Carnaby Street!" It was truly a wonderful experience and I had a blast seeing everyone again and meeting great new people.
When it came time to design my booth, I thought, wouldn't it be great if I could share the fun and groovy moments from my video with all of you? And that's when it hit me! Why not bring the elements of the video to life and be able to transport you into the 1960s? I took the geometric black and white wall and used it as a main focal point. I even created a collage of photos that initially inspired me to design this collection. So, welcome to my Carnaby Street!
For the booth, I wanted tons and tons of products! I made series of Carnaby bags, ranging from my patterns, the Barcelona Bag to the Essential Tote. I made a bunch of groovy pillows with giant florals and, one of my favorites, the PEACE pillow.
My all-time favorite project that I've made for Carnaby Street is the Union Jack cover made from some of the prints of the collection! With a simple top and a backing fabric, you can create your very own couch cover to add that touch of color and design you need to any room!
And here I am with all the AGF designers: Bonnie Christine, Leah Duncan, Bari J., Jeni Baker, and Angela Walters! I love these ladies so much and they were a complete blast to hang with during Market!
I am so thrilled, overjoyed, and truly blessed to have won FIRST PLACE SINGLE BOOTH! I tried not to cry in the pictures, so this is the best one of me, not in tears. Even today, I still can't believe it!
Since I love sharing all my experiences with you, it's no surprise that I have a special video for all of you! Come with me to Portland, OR and experience the groovy times I had in this Spring Quilt Market in the video below.
NOW TIME FOR a GIVEAWAY!
What bag pattern did I mention in the video? Leave the name of the bag pattern on this blog post. Two lucky people will win the pattern AND the Carnaby Street fabric necessary to make the bag!

I'm Back!
Hello everyone, I hope you're having a wonderful week. I'm finally home safe and sound from the International Quilt Market!
I need to recuperate from the excitement of winning Single Booth First Place, from meeting so many wonderful people, and from the wonderful food and sights of Portland. But I'll be back in a few days with more photos. In the meantime, you can take a peek at my Instagram!
Do something creative today!
Love, Pat
