Hello everyone
Thanks so much for popping in for a visit!




Today I wanted to ask you all a favour....


I have found that getting the new website 'out there' and noticed by the same amount of people that were digging around in the old Craftsy is not easy. Thank heavens some remember the name of the shop and do a bit of digging on the internet or others follow a link from Facebook.

This is where the favour comes in....
Do you follow me on Instagram (I really need to step up and post a lot more on all these platforms!)

Do you follow the Facebook site or the group where we show the finished blocks or quilts made with the patterns?

What about Twitter? I must say I'm not the biggest fan of this, but I guess I will have to learn how if I want my business to recover from the hit of having to move to an independent site.

Here are the links to my account at these platforms...
If you could please follow so that others might see the like or the post on your 'wall' or site, I would be immensely grateful!!! If you know of others I should be using that get a person noticed, will you please email me (janeenvn@gmail.com) Thanks!

Hello everyone!

Today I feel really exhausted, but happy.

I've added more than 600 patterns to my new Pattern Shop and things are running relatively smoothly.
Big big sigh!

Thanks for all the encouragement during the past few weeks where things were hectic, passwords were illusive and downloading patterns took a new look.

The new shop has a SHOP BY CATEGORY function on the top Black Bar where you can hover your computer mouse and see the drop down menu. I really hope you find what you're looking for. You can always email me about old patterns that I didn't add.

*************

I feel as if things can get back to normal now even if it's without Craftsy. I decided to leave those remaining patterns they chose for me with them - maybe someone will be interested and see I have a new shop too. It was nice to belong to a 'community' but its exciting to be soaring high in the clouds doing my own thing my way too.

Now, its back to finishing up commissions, thinking of a 'project' for us for the year - something really amazing, doing the block of the months and all the new blocks.

Please stay tuned for a new year FULL of great patterns and loads of FUN!!

If you need to chat with me about something or other...... please email me. (janeenvn@gmail.com)

I've been asked to go and 'house sit' for the weekend - so Im off with my iPad and I'll be having a few days rest. I will try to answer emails that I can, but if you need more, I won't be able to help until Monday. Thanks.

Today is the Start of the 2019  Bitty Blocks

The idea behind these was to create small blocks for those who liked the challenge of making tiny blocks.

Each month I will release one small Bitty Block and it will be FREE in that month until the next one is released in the next month - then it gets a price on it's head....

These are usually in the second week of the month.

Today we have a Tiny Bee. 
I love bees! Always on the go. I feel like one some days.

The block measures 5" (14cm) and is on the Intermediate level.

You can go to the Pattern Store and find the TINY BEE in the
Bitty Blocks category.



I hope you have fun with this one!

For those who get too flustered with the small blocks - I have a sizing guide that works on a copy machine to make the blocks larger or smaller.

You can download the Sizing PDF here.....<<<<

Hello to everyone!

Wow, December is over! 2018 is over!
I hope your 2019 is a year full of great blessings, peace and loads of sewing!

Thank you for all your support in this past year with pattern testing, support in the shop, buying a coffee and just being there to lend an ear. I really appreciate all of you!

As most of you know by now, Craftsy has given all the independent designers the boot out the back door and some have no more shop or like me I'm left with 26 random patterns.
SOOOOOO......

I've started up my own Website Pattern Shop and I will be adding patterns each day until all are back and sorted out in categories so that we can find things a little easier.

Also -

The 2019 Block of the Month
This year we will be doing 13 Amazing and Odd Animal Alphabet blocks

This is January's Block

It's an Aardvark

The pattern measures 12" (31cm) and is on the Easy Intermediate level

Here are the blocks that the testers have finished already.

Thanks to Joan Wintersgill and Joanne Harris. They're both lovely

You can add the letter in or leave it out - your choice.

You can go to the New Website Pattern Shop to grab your BoM block <<<<

As usual the block will be FREE for the month of its release.

** When you visit, you will see that you can register an account or you can buy as a guest. Just as you like.
Each pattern will be downloadable from the site and each will be given 2 chances to download it. The link to the pattern will not expire, so you can do it later if you like from the email you will also receive.


The Dec. BoM and the Dec. Bitty block were taken down early by craftsy, so I will leave them up on the new website for free for the next week.

I hope you all have a wonderful New Year with your families.
