IF YOU NEED A PATTERN TESTER

I love being a PATTERN TESTER!

This has been another fun opportunity because 

I am on Instagram!  Many IG pattern designer peeps will 

post that they need testers for their patterns.

Years ago I wrote a couple patterns, before EQ7

and I have taught classes. I know lay-man's language...

Sew to Speak!

I was asked by Emily Lang (@mommysnaptime)

to test her SHADES quilt pattern.  

Although her pattern was low volume with a bright center....

I headed to my stash to find bright novelty prints

and put together a totally different color value top! 

I provided lots of DETAILED feedback cause well...

patterns need to be easy to read and follow.

I provided screen shots to make sure Emily 

knew what I was talking

I write feedback almost line by line...at least section by section.

Because I did not follow her color selections for main and secondary colors...

I had to really think about how I would place my fabrics.

This is one finished 18" block.

Four big blocks make the top of the baby quilt size and you

could choose to make this top up to a king size.

A very cute finish...if I say sew myself!

And this will be backing...yes it was in my stash too!

It was a fun and easy to test pattern.  

I used up some novelty stash and this is a great

"gender neutral" baby quilt!

I also tested these patterns...

If you need a pattern tester
...someone who has 30 years of making quilts (and bags)
...someone who can see past the designers color palate 
...someone who is not afraid to provide healthy feedback...

I am your "pattern testing" girl!

PS I have donated all these quilts as charity #payitforward
