Pie Plate Patterns' website has a new function - a newsletter subscription!  We plan to send out newsletters when we have retreat information and also when we have new products available.  (I've been meaning to do it for some time now...but you know how that goes sometimes.)  Anywhoo...it's up and running and you can subscribe by clicking on Newsletter on the left-hand side of the screen.  We hope this will be very useful for those who want to be notified of fun stuff coming up!!

Ciao for now,

Bonnie

The Autumn Book is off to the printer!  We should be heading up north with a BIG truck to pick them up either Friday, the 27th or Monday the 30th.  I think of all of the books, this just might be my favorite.  Of course, I LOVE Autumntime!! so I might be a little prejudiced.

We've been working on this Seasonal series for so long now, that we're not quite sure what to do with ourselves now.  I think I might start a new project :0)  If any of you that own shops have suggestions for our next project (something that your customers need), we are certainly open to suggestions.  Here are some ideas that we have:  Boy quilts, Row & Collage Quilts, Block of the Month booklets, Brenda's Beginner Class Book, another Layer Cake Friendly book.  Those are the ideas in the brain right now.  Leave us some feedback.  We want to supply products that are needed and wanted.

All best,

Bonnie

Well friends...

The Summer book has been out for a month now, and I'm barely getting the website updated.  I'm getting slower! 

Also, we have three new patterns that we introduced at Spring Market in Minneapolis.  We just picked up the front covers from the printers yesterday...so they're ready to go. 

Melon lane is all about curves!  ***But, don't fear...they're simple curves.***  The blocks are a drunkard's path block (but they're HUGE...so the curves aren't too intimidating.)  There are watermelons set into the border and the binding even has fun scallops.  You'll love putting this fun curvy quilt together.

Indiana Avenue was designed by Brenda for a Shop Hop in Indiana...(we're so creative when naming our patterns aren't we??  ha ha!)  She designed nine parts because there are nine shops in the hop, but we compiled them all into one super fun pattern that could be made from any variety of fabrics!  My favorite is the bird!!

LuLu's YoYos came about because my five-year-old niece, Lucy, felt bad that none of our quilts has ever had anything to do with her.  We have an "Autumn's Apples" (that's her little sister) and her older brother and sister are featured in the picture on "Game Day".  I told her that I would make one and name it after her.  Since I call her LuLu...voila...that's what it was named.  The giant yo-yos make super fun flowers when paired with the jumbo rick rack that is so popular right now.
