The Frasier Frog pattern is in the shop!
You can make him with or without that fabulous fly-catching tongue, and there’s a link to a video showing you how to make that tongue flick at a fly in a neighboring block!
Here are just a few of the fantastic frogs made by members of the Funny Faces Quilt Block of the Month Club. 🙂
See even more cute examples – and get the pattern – here.

Three years ago I made a video class with Craftsy that included this Mix & Match Monsters quilt pattern.
Now that pattern is available in the Shiny Happy World shop as a PDF!
The pattern doesn’t include the highly-produced Craftsy/Bluprint videos – but it does have links to my own handmade video tutorials teaching you everything you need to know to make your own awesomely original monster quilt. 🙂
What else do you get?
The templates for SO MANY MONSTER PARTS! Seriously – there are 24 pages jam-packed with templates for bodies, eyes, mouths, fins, feathers, hands, tentacles, antennae, stripes, spots and more – all sized to work together. You can make a kajillion monsters and never have a repeat.
(Ok – I know kajillion isn’t a real number, but I’ve made over 100 different monsters and I’m nowhere near running out of possible combinations.)
Want to see how it works? Here’s a little video I put together walking you through some sample blocks.
See how much fun it is and how creative you get to be?
If you’re feeling a little confused about the difference between the Scary Squares Monster pattern and the Mix & Match Monsters pattern, I’ve got a post here laying out the difference.
Get the Mix & Match Monsters pattern here. I can’t wait to see what you make!
Happy stitching!

Darius is the new Funny Faces Quilt Block of the Month Club pattern – just released today! (Darius means “maintains possessions well” which I think is the perfect name for a dragon.)
If you’re in the Funny Faces club, use this link to go straight to the clubhouse to download the new pattern – and see the other sample blocks I made.
If you’re not in the club, click here to join. You’ll get instant access to the Darius pattern, plus all the other lessons and patterns in the clubhouse.
Want to see how to assemble that block? It’s easy!
Happy stitching!

Have you seen Frasier Frog yet? He’s the current Funny Faces Quilt Block of the Month pattern and I love him!
That fabulous fly-catching tongue is optional. Here’s a pink-on-pink-on-pink version I made without it.
You can also make a version where the tongue (and fly) bust out of their own block and into neighboring blocks, like I did with this pair.
Here are a bunch of handy-dandy links. . .
Have fun with this guy!
Happy stitching!

One of my favorite Cuddly Cats all dressed up in a star-spangled hat from the Fancy Doodads pattern.
Applique is so much fun to play with. 🙂
Have a great holiday! I hope you get some time to put your feet up and stitch a bit.

Happy July!
I had to use the Funny Faces Block of the Month pattern again this month because I just can’t get enough of that frog and his fabulous fly-catching tongue! He makes me smile every time I see him and that’s exactly what I want on my computer screen. 🙂
Download your wallpaper below – there are options both with and without the July calendar.
Have a great month!

Happy June!
I think this horse is my favorite version of this month’s Funny Faces Quilt Block of the Month Club pattern. He’s a horse of a different color! So, of course, I had to make him my calendar for this month.
Download your wallpaper below – there are options both with and without the June calendar.
Have a great month!

There’s so much fun stuff happening this month at Shiny Happy World! Now that I’m allowed to stitch again I’m finishing lots of old projects and starting new ones. 🙂
Watch the video here to see what’s going on.
Here are links to all the things I talk about in the video. . .
Have fun! And happy stitching!

You’re invited to join the club!
Membership costs just $4 a month.
Every month (on the 15th) members get a new pattern for a fun applique quilt block.
The blocks are all sized to finish at 10 inches square – so you can join them together into a funny faces quilt, or mix and match them with my other quilt patterns. They’re so much fun to play with!
This is Paxton Penguin – he’s the first block in the club, available to members right now. Isn’t he a cutie?
Here’s another version – in classic black and white.
You don’t have to make a quilt. You’ll also get free patterns for lots of other projects you can make with a single quilt block – pillows, tote bags, receiving blankets. placemats, and more. 🙂
The club includes complete video instructions for Quilt as You Go and applique with fusible adhesive – my favorite way to make quilts.
As long as your membership is active, you’ll have access to the virtual clubhouse where you’ll download your new pattern every month, find all the video lessons, ask questions, and chat with other club members – and share photos of your finished funny faces!
It’s going to be so much fun!
Join the Funny Faces Quilt Block of the Month Club here!
Happy stitching!
