Pattern Pick: MOD Rectangles

 I just love this quilt!!  I go in "quilting phases" and lately, I am in love with the modern, simple look for quilts.  Modern quilt patterns just make my heart melt and this MOD Rectangles quilt fits the bill perfectly!

This is a super easy quilt to make.  It would be a fantastic project for a beginner.  I like to use strip quilting to speed up the process and I teach all about that in the pattern. I love the modern look and the bold pattern in this quilt and you will too! This is an easy quilt and my patterns includes lots of diagrams to make it as simple as possible.  Happy Sewing!

Pattern Pick: Inwood Gardern by Little Louise Designs

I just launched this website about 3 weeks ago and I have already so very blessed to meet some wonderful pattern designers already.  I think that is one of the major motivators for me!  These sweet designers have entrusted All Those Patterns with their original designs, and I don't want to do anything at all to let them down.

One of these sweet gals is Jude Spero from Little Louise Designs.  This long-time quilter out of New York, has such beautiful PDF Quilt Patterns!  Today I wanted to highlight one that I really admire called Inwood Garden.  It's a super easy quilt pattern and uses one jellyroll which can really help out if you are a beginner!

Is this beautiful or what?  I love the modern, simple design!  It's a quilt I could cuddle up in and feel right at home.  Thank you, thank you, Jude for sharing Inwood Garden with us!

Pattern Pick: Ruffles and Rosettes Handbag

Two of my favorite things in one pattern!!  Say hello to the Ruffles and Rosettes Handbag.  With Spring right around the corner (at least in my dreams...) I thought this would be a fun pattern to highlight today.  Something so springy about these fun handbags with funky, fun prints!

I have made several of these cute bags and I have to say that it's a fun, easy pattern and the very best part is when it all comes together.  There's a lot of room for creativity, too.  If you don't want a rosette, you can add a flower... or nothing at all.  I even had a customer make this entire bag out of wool and it was super adorable!

So, feel free to head on over and check out the Ruffles and Rosettes Handbag or another one of our fun bags!  Hope you all have a great week!!

Pattern Pick: Football Coccoon Set

Hi there! Who's ready for the weekend? I sure am. I've been working non-stop trying to tun my husband's office into a bedroom for an almost 9-year old girl with a new streak of independence! Sounds fun right?  Yeah, I even upholstered a headboard for her.  I love how it turned out so hopefully, you'll all see pictures soon!

Anyhow, I'm doing a new feature called Pattern Pick.  It's where I pick a pattern from the shop to highlight and share with you.

This Pattern Pick is the Football Cocoon Set from Kristi.  I figured with the Superbowl almost here, this one would be a winner.  Check out this adorable downloadable sewing pattern!!



Is that adorable or what?

Any Croceht or Knitting Fans Around??

I am so, so excited to introduce you to Kristi Simpson, owner and creative genius behind RAKJ Patterns.  Kristi specializes in knitting and crochet patterns, not to mention she has the cutest baby pictures around!  Here it is from her Bio:

I am madly in love with my hubby--he's the ultimate best friend. Together we have 5 children (15, 14, 12, and 3 year old twins)....We homeschool and do things our own crazy way!
As far as crochet and knitting goes...I'm addicted! I love to create things and share what I make; and yarn....you can never ever never have too much...my husband thinks other wise but my stash continues to grow..ha
But seriously, I love to make photography props and personal items alike. The final product just dazzels me in pictures...I say "I made THAT?" And I'm hoping that others will have the same reaction when YOU make your own item from my patterns!

So, without further ado, here are some of Kristi's gorgeous patterns from the shop:


See what I mean about those cute babies?  I love it!
Anyhow, a huge welcome to Kristi and and even bigger THANK YOU from me! I am so honored and excited to have Kristi here!
