Pattern Updates, Additions & Corrections

Every so often, I find an improvement, an easier technique or a clearer way to explain some of my pattern directions. And (ughhh) errors!

Despite the multiple layers of proofreading that every pattern must go through, some mistakes or typo’s get through. If this has caused you any aggravation, I sincerely apologize. I make the corrections before the pattern goes to the printers next time but I can’t reach all the patterns that are already out there. We quilters often buy and stash a pattern away for another day.

So, I have created this page to keep all changes current. All details will be listed by pattern number and name. I will never place any of my patterns out of print. You can always contact me about any of my designs, no matter how long you’ve had it.

AH HAH! Means look here for ideas, tips and inspiration.
FYI! Means look here for clarification concerning supplies, etc.
OOPS! Means…well…you know.

7303 TAKE IT TO CLASS TOTE

OOPS! The original run of patterns had one error on page 1: Patchwork for pieced front should be "Lay out segments and squares for front, having 9 squares down and 11 squares across (not 22).
AND one omission on page 2: Paragraph concerning patchwork pocket (under Straps paragraph) should begin: "Outside Patchwork pocket: Trim pocket to 13" high and 18" wide." (August 2004

OOPS! Ott Light Tote Corrections…The Cover and the cutting instructions on page 4 of the pattern should say “64 @ 3” squares” for the Patchwork Tote. If you use 2 ½” squares, cut 81 and arrange 9 x 9 squares for the outside of the tote. (October, 2008)

AH HAH! Pre-quilted fabrics are now available from most of the major fabric companies and they are gorgeous! Substitute the pre-quilted and you’ll have a gorgeous tote set in a fraction of the time. Team it up with the Pressing Spot and Hot Iron Tote, using the same fabrics and you’ll be ready to travel in style! (October 2008)

7304 PRESS EXPRESS BOARD

FYI! INFORMATION REGARDING THE BOARD FOR PRESS EXPRESS:
The product we use is called Redi-Shelf made by Roseburg Forest Products. We have also used Missoula
Particleboard "White Shelving 3/4", 23 1/4", x 72". You can see the Redi Shelf by clicking here. Check with your local lumber yards, etc to see if any of them carry it. We get ours at Menards and Fleet Farm (both midwest chains, I'm afraid).
If you can’t find the shelf product you can rip a sheet of plywood in half lengthwise. It will yield enough for 2 boards. Seal the plywood with a good waterproof sealer.

7313 PRESSING SPOT AND HOT IRON TOTE

OOPS! Three little works can mean so much…especially when they are missing from your pattern! The second paragraph on page 3 should read: “Sew lining side seam and attach….” (May 2006)

OOPS! Pardon our enthusiasm….5 – 7 fat quarters will be plenty (not 12) (March 2008)

FYI! A note about different types of Pre-quilted Iron Quilt products: There are two types. The pattern was written for the type with polyester filling. To control the bulk if you are using the type with cotton filling, serge or zig-zag around each piece to compress the edges. Take a moment to do this step before you assemble any of the parts and everything will go together much easier. (May 2008)
AH HAH! I updated this pattern in May of 2008 for easier cutting. The update includes the fabric requirements and cutting instructions to use Pre-quilted fabric, Charm Squares or Jelly Rolls.

7319 TUESDAY GARDEN CLUB

OOPS! I forgot to tell you that I always cut my setting triangles larger than needed. The excess hangs out past the edges of the side cornerstones. This allows you to straighten the edges of the quilt more easily, regardless of individual variations in seam allowances.

OOPS! Cut the squares for the corner setting triangles at 9” instead of 11”. They will be easier to cut from fat quarters.

FYI! A note about half-square triangles and Thangles ™ You don’t need to use Thangles for this project but I recommend them because they are fast and accurate. Go to www.thangles.com for more detailed information about these handy papers.
But please use whatever method you prefer that will get you to your ultimate goal…”A 1 ½” square that is half dark sashing and half light sashing”. (October 2008)
