Sue Pritt’s quilt patterns are beautiful shops along a tree lined street. They make you want to go inside and see what’s on sale. Complete with overflowing flower pots and period street lamps how can you not want to go window shopping?!
Sweet Season Quilts
The designs look complicated but they really are not. Paper piecing makes for straight lines and sharp corners. Fusible applique adds the extra touches. And traditional piecing pulls it all together. Sue’s patterns are very clear, with simple step by step instructions and they include full size templates and applique patterns. Diagrams and tips provide additional help.
These are from the Painted Lady Series…
The Quilt Shop has quilt blocks on the window shades and on the door. Do you see the kitty in the window…. seems quilters and kitties go together.
After shopping you can stop in for some refreshments at the Bakery & Cafe
. There’s a table for two on the balcony. And a bright cardinal sits at the top of the shop.
You will also find a Flower Shop and a Boutique in this series.
The individual patterns in this group measure 16″ x 34″ and can be made to stand alone or to be grouped together.
Another group, the Shop Ladies Series, has several more shops. There are ten in all.
Sweet Season Quilts
Measuring 10″ x 22″ each of these patterns can stand alone as a wall hanging. Or you can make as many as you want and put them together for an entire street scene.
So start shopping…. I mean quilting!

Your Wish List is a handy tool. And it’s working now!
You must be logged in to use your Wish List. You don’t have an account?! It’s easy to sign up. Just click on Log In at the upper right corner of the page and you’ll see a link for New Members to sign up.
Once you are logged in you can click on the Wish List icon -
You’ll find it right underneath the Shopping Cart icon on each item description page. One simple click and the item is added.  Add any item you think you might like to have even if you are not ready to purchase. This will save you time looking for it later. Your items will be saved for a year. When you are ready to buy, just one click moves your item from Wish List to your Shopping Cart.
Use Wish List when you are trying to decide between a couple patterns. Add both patterns to your list and then view your list and you can see both patterns at the same time. Of course, another option would be to buy both patterns – you can never have too many patterns!
Also great for selecting fabrics for a project. Just toss in anything you think you might want to use. Throw in some extras. Then review your Wish List and you can see all the fabrics together and decide if you like the way they play together. Add or toss until you are happy. Then transfer the ones you want to your shopping cart. You’ll probably find that even though some of the fabrics won’t work for your current project, you really like them. So keep them on your Wish List and they’ll be there for you when you are ready . . . no searching for them.
Add anything that strikes your fancy whenever you are browsing. Then when anyone is wondering what you might like for your birthday, Christmas, Mother’s Day or ???, you’ll have an answer ready for them!
Go ahead, grab a cup of coffee and try window shopping for quilt patterns. Have fun!

Time for Monday Madness – Anything Goes!
An eclectic selection of projects . . .
Stitchin Chicks are chicken pincushions with attitude!

Coverall Sam can be an applique design or a doll. Have fun embellishing with laces, a fancy hat brim, a decorated pocket. And his arms can be made 3-D for hugs! Come on, who doesn’t need a hug?!
Up & Down Memory Lane is a fast and easy quilt that finishes at 58″ square. A couple easy blocks, some simple applique, borders and done. It looks great in 1930’s fabrics, doesn’t it? Charm square friendly.Â
Fall is coming so we’ll be doing less BBQ-ing and more baking. Get ready for all that Hot Stuff with these cute oven mitts.  While you’re sewing, make a few extra for gifts.

A churn dash block in yellows and grey or purple florals makes this beautiful Winter Garden. Don’t you think it would also look great in deep blues and crisp whites?
Be sure to check out the rest of the w i d e variety of quilt patterns available at Quilters Warehouse.

There are so many quilt patterns to be found at Quilters Warehouse. In the Pieced Pattern section there are over 1400 patterns! You could browse for hours. So, to save you some time (time you can use to actually quilt!) I pulled a few patterns from deep in the selection just to show you a few of the possibilities.
Â
Boston Logs is fat quarter friendly. The blocks are put together like log cabin blocks and then laid out in a Boston Commons manner. You’ll use Stack ‘n Slash, Switch ‘n Stitch technique – Fun! This is easy enough for a beginner and will be quick and fun for the more experienced quilter. This would look great with light green background and rose colors in place of the blue – like a rose garden.
Â
This one is great for all your scraps. You can make Boot Roundup as splashy and “out there” looking as you want. Have fun as you watch your scrap pile diminish. Any horse lover or country girl would love to have this quilt.
Fractured Diamonds is certainly a different look. There are instructions for two sizes: a wall hanging (40 x 60) and full size (104 x 87). This is your chance to experiment with color.
Make your bedroom a peaceful place with Zen Garden.  This quilt is King size (100 x 108) and features a separate panel for the head of the bed. Sweet Dreams!
I hope you enjoyed our peek into the midst of the patterns. Next time you take a coffee break browse through the patterns and see what you can find.
