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!



Stay tuned and travel along with us on Quilt Roadies...where we are connecting one quilter and one shop at a time!!

When Valeria Cervetto saw these boys playing in the water, she was enchanted and wanted to show the joy of the boys and the movement of the water. We are fascinated by how she achieved that movement. Take a look at the detail below in Playing in the Waterfall.

Valeria's quilt won 2nd Place Surface Design at the Houston International Quilt Festival 2018.
