Jazzed Four-Patch:  This pattern looks like a lot of work, cutting and sewing tiny pieces. But, here’s the scoop. Start with a normal everyday four patch, cut it up a little and re-assemble it to make a block that looks sooooo complicated. Use a strip cutting ruler, and this will be one of your go-to patterns.

Dopey Dogs Appliqué:  Another original appliqué design from Cindy. It was suggested that maybe a dog design would make a nice change from the many cat patterns we see. They were so much fun to work on and I was very excited to get them into the class schedule. I’ve used the blanket stitch tor the appliqué with jewel box joinings. These little guys just make me smile.
