Greetings!

 

I've been having so much fun sorting patterns and fabric and just getting ready for the new year. So far it's filled with great plans and possibilities. Are you planning your quilting for 2013? 
 
As you can see, Clutch is working tirelessly on his plans for the year!  He did take a break from all that heavy snoozing long enough to suggest I remind you of a few of the FREE projects on the Sentimental Stitches web site in case  you're thinking about what you'd like to work on during 2013. 
  
It doesn't matter if you enjoy patchwork, applique, embroidery or good old fashioned sewing -  I hope one of these projects will be something you'll enjoy making!
Sparkling Sampler 

 

 
 
 
A fun little  23 x 28 inch quilt to practice your foundation paper piecing skills. The pattern includes 12 foundation patterns for the 4 inch blocks and basic instructions for the quilt. Grab a few of your favorite fabrics and let them sparkle!
 
   
 
 
 
    
Scrappy Sherbet

 

 

 

A fast and easy scrap quilt that is strip pieced from your choice of two colors. I used the yummy sherbet ice cream colors of orange and lime. Beautiful in 1930s prints, Civil War reproductions and Batiks too! Finished size 60 x 72.

Sally Post Floral Sampler
  

 

I'm posting one block per week right now for this quilt. Each block will include the original on point setting and also sized for a straight set 8 inch block.
Spring into Summer Embroidery
  

The Spring Into Summer quilt has 32 embroidered blocks.  The finished size of the quilt is 81 x 99. Each of the embroidered blocks measures 9 inches. 
Schlep Tote Bag

 Whenever I see a great new fabric collection I know just what I can make even if it's not a quilt. It's a Schlep Tote Bag. You can never have too many totes! 

 

These are just a few of the patterns you'll find at Sentimental Stitches. There are many more listed in the sidebar under Free Patterns and it's sub-categories. You can also use the search term Tutorials in the Seach Box near the top and even more projects will come up from things I've worked on over the years.  
 I'll let you know when new things become available. I have some catching up to do from last year. No matter what you decide to work on I wish you....... 
  
Happy Stitches,
