New Puddysticks Quilt Pattern

Here's my latest quilt pattern: Puddysticks. It measures 65" x 84," XL twin (dorm bed). Instant download pdf, photos, helpful hints, 5 pages. You might already have all the fabrics you need for this string quilt, a fun stash-buster. 

The ease of making this quilt is what led to the title “Puddysticks.” In South Africa it’s a children’s phrase that means “very easy.” For example, “The math quiz was puddysticks! I finished in five minutes.” Or, if you are very cool, you might say, “That quiz was pudds!”

Seize the Day and Make a Quilt!

Step 1: Cut 12 white squares, 21" x 21."

Then cut them in half on the diagonal. 

If you already have some 3" strips, this quilt won't even take all day.

You'll love the Carpe Diem pattern.

I took this photo in my front yard yesterday before the snow. 

Mary Watt (www.quiltedewe.com) did the machine quilting. 

The quilt is 60" x 80" XL Twin size, good for dorm beds.

If you would Pin, Facebook, or blog about this, it would be great. Thanks.

Welcome to My Studio!

C'mon in. Left to right: design wall on the left, fabric in the white wire drawers (and yarn on top), door to walk-in closet, Juki 98Q sewing machine, Big Board ironing board in the foreground.

To the right of the log cabin quilt is the door to the porch. It has a nice view of the woods.

This is the "husband's sofa." I like to relax there too and browse through my quilt books.

The sturdy elfa drawers (from the Container Store) hold a lot of fabric, 

but I do have more in plastic boxes. 

Is my studio always this neat? Hahaha. Not even close.
