Just a few words
before you move onto the past and present ePatterns :)
With the new website, I will be able to add back nearly all
of my old designs, but this will take a little bit of time
while I go through all of the PDF files and change the website
and email details in all of them. :) I have also noticed that
some of the designs were never in a PDF file and so they will
created.
This date will change letting you know there is an update on
the page :)

As of 2007, I made the
decision to keep the BOM free on my web site for one
month only (30 days) and then after it has been there for a
month you can then purchase any of the blocks that
you have missed through my Lulu Publishing Store front. :) For
Quilt Shops and Guilds, I will be bringing back the Bulk
pre-printed patterns order page. The ePatterns are not for
re-sale, they are only for personal use.
To keep this website up and running, I depend on the small income that I
receive from this web site. With this in mind I will bring in
free designs as well as the purchased patterns. So the 30 days
free on the purchase patterns I feel is fair.
It would not been possible to have gotten this far with
my website without your support over the years, and with your continued support
I hope to bring more in the way of designs to share
with you in the coming years. :) So thank you :)
Well that is the news of
how and why I am now selling my designs. As you can see,
the results have been good in only a short time so far, given
time I will have more for you :) in the mean time back to the
quilts :)
I have found that no
matter what it is that you are building, wither it is
a house or in our case a quilt we must start with the
foundation, in our case the foundation is the background
fabric.
Get this wrong and your
quilt will turn out wrong. Get it right and your quilt will be
a WOW :) so please pick carefully and choose a fabric that you
love from there all your other choices will fall into place.
:)
Take your time have a look
around for just the right background fabric and then build
from there. :) Many of the fabrics and colours that I have
used in EQ may be old and out of season fabrics and so, you
may not be able to find them. I have used them in the EQ
project to give you an idea only.
With EQ I find it is best
to use what I have there rather than go looking for what is
current in the fabrics other wise I will be spending all my
time looking for fabrics and not enough time designing.
:)
Any way I think it is best
to look for what you or for the person you are making the
quilt for like. :)
All fabrics used are for
colour and is a guide only :) Ultimately, the finale choice is
yours. So Please Remember my tastes are not your tastes :) but
I would like to think that I could get your creative ideas
flowing so that you feel game to play with it and add your
ideas regarding colours. :)
So for now just have fun,
:) Hugs, Dawsie. :)
