Hearthsewn Patterns

Hearthsewn as a pattern publishing outlet has officially been closed. Other pursuits have taken over my life, and that's not a bad thing. My creative energy now goes into paper craft design, something I enjoy more than I thought I would when daughter Kenzie and her husband Mike Daley dragged me kicking and screaming into this arena. Some of the patterns may still be available as mail order retail purchases through the mail. But for now, its "happy trails".

The new Hearthse'twn Patterns website has been launched today. If you haven't visited the website recently (or ever) I invite you to go to hearthsewnpatterns.com and see how wonderful it looks.
Thanks to my webmaster Riley for the update, something we have been hoping to get done for at least 5 years. If you have the old web address cached, you will need to refresh (hit refresh) on your computer to tell the search engine that you don't want the old stored information. We are so excited. Hope you enjoy seeing the cleaner look.

A red-letter day for me. My first digital designs appeared as part of the offerings through Snapdragon Snippets on Silhouette America's online store. Kenzie is my mentor, my inspiration, my shepherd, my advisor, my friend, my wonderful daughter to help me achieve this milestone (and Mikey, too--except for the daughter part). Here is a paper quilt made from one of the selected designs. Surprising for a past-middle aged lady like me!
