My 3 yr old helped me make Bartholomew Bunny for his sister's birthday in 2011. She loved it especially because the fabric in the ears matched her bag at school. He watched the stuffing video and then went to work. Repeating back instructions to me if I tried to rush him, "Wendi told me to take my time, Mama."

Despite learning how to embroider and sew as a child, my skills as an adult were very rusty. Wendi's easy patterns and clear tutorials let me learn new skills and build confidence. I would never have tried quilting if Wendi hadn't made quilt-as-you-go so approachable. Plus Wendi's shop makes it easy to buy high quality tools, supplies, and fabric without any guesswork, so I always know every project will turn out great and all my colors will match. Even as my skills have improved, Shiny Happy World patterns are my go-to for nearly all of the handmade gifts I give, from baby quilts to personalized tote bags.

Patterns are very easy to download and have simple, clear instructions and best of all the end results are always welcome gifts. I have attached a photo of my first project, "Bertie Bunny". My granddaughter absolutely loved him, and I must admit he is very cuddly!

Everything Wendi produces just makes me smile. Her video lessons and tutorials are so easy to follow and give you the confidence to start and finish your project. Everything I’ve ordered from the shop, whether a physical product or a digital pattern, has been first rate. You simply can not go wrong with Shiny Happy World!

The patterns are incredibly easy to follow and customize. For a fundraiser for my son’s Cub Scout Pack, I made Violet from the Dress Up Bunch. I was able to outfit her in her very own uniform, a pair of overalls, and a sleeping bag! The thing I like the most is the time that Wendi puts in to create tutorials, as well as giving tips and tricks to achieve the same results in your own projects. I love sharing her tutorials because they are incredibly easy to understand.
