April – fun times 🙂

It was quite a month and unless you check in Every Single Day, there’s a good chance you may have missed something. So here’s a quick little round-up! Be sure to scroll down to the bottom to see the Show & Tell Collage of Awesomeness for the month. Did you win the gift certificate?

Embroidery

It looks like I had a needle in my hand and a hoop in my lap all month long. Lots of new embroidery stuff!

• free butterfly pattern for newsletter subscribers
• Bloom embroidery pattern – 12 big, beautiful flowers to stitch
• Bitty Blooms embroidery pattern – 30 tiny flowers sized to fit in the pendant frames
• a video showing how to use the pendant frames
• the Kiddie Cameos got glasses
• yes – you can use The Magical Embroidery Stuff on wool felt – here’s how

Sewing

Fun stuff here too!

• The second pattern in the Six Months of Softies series was revealed – a fabulous whale!
• I made the whale and shared it – I love learning from my fellow pattern designers
• Tutorial – how to turn a quilt block into a pillow cover

Quilting

There’s a new quilt pattern coming this month, but that doesn’t mean I did no quilting in April. Au contraire!

• a free applique pattern to make a Pretty Posy quilt
• a video – how to assemble the layers for machine applique

Everything Else

And of course – I moved my website! More improvements to come on that front. Right now I’m just happy to have the videos back and the forward links working for almost everyone. 🙂 And I LOVE the new format for searching through the kajillion free patterns!

April Show & Tell

Here are just a few of the fabulous things you made this month with Shiny Happy World patterns!

This month’s winner is. . .

Gabrielle – now 12 years old who stitched the beautiful Rainbow Girl as her very first embroidery!

I also had a special drawing this month for any Monster Show & Tell projects from March and April. The winner is Janice who’s been making the Scary Squares Monster Quilt for her daughter’s monster-themed wedding.

Happy stitching!

Best,
Wendi
