Although I am not a designer, a bit of my quilting soul wants to be one! To release that inner designer, I will occasionally change...or a better word is enhance, a pattern I am working on. I actually like adding a bit of me into the patterns I am working on...it may be as subtle as quilting in a secret message or as bold as adding something to the actual design.

Last week I shared how I personalized candle mats by adding initial charms so the receiver would know I was thinking of them in the creation. It is not hard to add a bit of you or someone you know into the stitching. Whenever there is script in an embroidery pattern I ponder how I might make it more personally special.

As we have been traveling down the road and I have been stitching away on a Buttermilk Basin pattern I wondered how I might make the pattern have a personal statement.


Looking at each pattern that I am gifting for ways to make a design not only the designers creation but also a piece of my "talent"... LOL... Since this sweet mat is going to be gifted, I decided to add their name on the doormat! As simple as that, I have taken a pattern and made it personal!
