Hello! And a happy new year to you! I hope 2015 is a fabulous year filled with fabric, fun, friends and much sewing!
To get you started, why not join in my new paper pieced Block of the Month!
Zoo Animals! Yay! There are 9 patterns which will take you through to September. That gives you the last few months of the year to get the patterns finished and put together into a fun quilt or wallhanging.
Each pattern makes a 10” block. The patterns range in skill level and I will be sharing the easier ones first leading up to the hardest at the end (I’m looking at you Mr Lion). Each month there will be one free pattern made available. It becomes a paid pattern on the 1st of the next month (Australian time because I’m Australian) and the next pattern becomes available. Or if you can’t wait for all of the patterns to become available, you can pick up the entire bundle in my new shop.
So let’s get started! Let’s bring in the new year with this fabulous happy fellow – the flamingo!
You can pop by my shop and pick this pattern up for free during January. I can’t wait to see how you make this pattern your own. Make sure you pop back and link it up here to share your version!
Last but not least - a massive thank you to the very talented Christopher (The Tattooed Quilter)
for giving my patterns a design overhaul and making them look all sparkly and new! Yay!
Happy sewing!
These are fabulous Kristy! Thank you so much!!

Thanks, I can't wait to start! I downloaded the pattern and noticed there is an error in your email address in the pdf, thought you would want to know.
ReplyDeleteOoh thanks! There's always something that slips through the cracks! Fixed now!
DeleteExcellent, I've been wondering what you would do this year. I finished the kitchen blocks from last year into a nice wall hanging. I enjoy your work. Happy new year.
ReplyDeleteWhat fun! Sorry that it didn't work out with Craftsy, it is their loss. The download worked great for the flamingo. It is just beautiful and a fun project to work on and wait for each month. Thank you so much for sharing your talent.
ReplyDeleteLooking forward to another great monthly quilt along! Thanks so much for your darling work!
ReplyDeleteI really love your paper-pieced flamingo block. It is so cute!
ReplyDeleteThank you for your generous offer of the flamingo block. It is very cute. I know lots of people will be creating some fun things with it.

Thank you for these lovely blocks! I've just downloaded the flamingo and I'm going to try it. I've never paper pieced so I have no idea what I'm doing.
ReplyDeleteI am sort of new to quilting. When you say a 10" block, does that mean I should end up with a 10.5 inch block and when quilted to the others it will be 10"? Thank you!
ReplyDeleteYes that's right. In quilting, an unfinished block is a half inch bigger to allow for the quarter inch seam allowance on each side. So in this case, your unfinished block (meaning not sewn into a quilt) will be 10.5" then when it's sewn with other blocks it will be 10". :)
DeleteHey I finally finished my kitschy quilt from 2014, I LOVE it and have it hanging in my studio now, thanks for a great pattern!

Hello Kristy - I've just come across your blog for the first time, and love your quilts and blocks. I'm eager to participate in the animals quilt. It's adorable, along with your other patterns. Very fun, and looking forward to reading your blog going forward.
