It was a lot of work, but I am happy to announce that the pattern gallery on my website is finally finished. Pattern sales will continue through the Square shop, as this seems to be working well. However, organizing patterns into categories and adding tags on my website gives me better control, making it much easier for customers to find what they are looking for.
I have essentially recreated the old website shop while linking each item to the new Square shop. The main pattern list displays all patterns in numerical order, with the newest ones appearing first. I decided to bring back all individual blocks from previous BOMs, but to keep the main pattern list manageable, they and the pattern bundles are not included. Instead, there are links in the sidebar to view all individual blocks in numerical order, as well as the available pattern bundles.
When you click on a pattern, it takes you to its page on my website, not the Square store. There, you will find a detailed description, including measurements, required skills, and skill level. If the pattern is part of a series, all related items are listed at the bottom. The buttons link directly to the corresponding items in the Square pattern store.
All individual blocks from my BOM projects, starting with Tuxedo Cats, are available for purchase. They are listed in the individual block category but can also be accessed from the full quilt’s pattern page. Simply scroll down to the series list, where each block is linked directly to its item in the pattern store.
I have checked everything carefully, but with so many links to add, mistakes can happen. If you come across a link that does not lead where you expect, please let me know, and I will fix it as soon as possible. I hope you enjoy the new pattern catalogue. Happy browsing!
Last year, I scrambled to finish all the preemiequilts I wanted to take to Germany. It was entirely my fault, as I had completed the tops early on but procrastinated, leaving myself to stitch down eight bindings and labels the weekend before I left. I did not want a repeat of that this year! I do not even know yet if or when I am going, but I have already finished four little quilts, labels and all.
I aim to make four per year but fell behind during COVID when I kept buying fabric but never actually sewed anything. These four are my 2024 quilts, and I already have four more in progress. Three of the tops are pieced, so there is a good chance I will finish them well before I need them.
