“Take your needle, my child, and work at your pattern; it will come out a rose by and by. Life is like that – one stitch at a time taken patiently and the pattern will come out all right like the embroidery.” — Oliver Wendell Holmes

Sometimes my large patterns can be a bit intimidating. But don't let that stop you! Mary Alice Stevenson sent me pictures of her smaller versions of two of them. Here's my original "Saltboxes on the Corner" pattern, measuring 80" x 88".
She was able to figure out how to make it about half the size.
My "Village Sampler" pattern measures 69" x 83". She changed around a few blocks and left out a few. I think they turned out great! Thanks for sharing, Mary Alice!
Author (how cool that I can finally honestly claim that!), quilter, pattern designer,and manic crafter. I love anything beat up, showing its wrinkles, worn down by time. Wife to long-suffering Ben since 1976, mother to amazing kids--Charissa and Geoff. Love traveling and discovering prim/antique/quilt shops along the way and I love spending time at home surrounded by my favourite things.
Those are beautiful! Your patterns are so great to work with!
ReplyDeleteI love patterns that I can switch around and redo to fit my quilting style and your patterns are wonderful for that.
