Signs of Spring is a completely die cut project that will get you stitching right away. Plenty of time to get this one stitched up and on display by Spring. If you are anywhere near the Southeastern Quilt and Textile Museum in Carrollton,Georgia join me for the class on Saturday February 5, 2022 from 10 AM – 2 PM. You can find Signs of Spring in my Etsy Shop. http://www.PrettyPennyPrecuts.Etsy.com
I have great step by step directions for Signs of Spring included with your purchase.
If you are a merchant of any kind you know how frustrating Holiday Shipping can be. Here is how PrettyPennyPrecuts keeps customers returning to http://www.PrettyPennyPrecuts.Etsy.com COMMUNICATION! Yes, it may seem redundant to the messages customers already receive from Etsy, but never overlook the opportunity to CARE! Since PrettyPennyPrecuts is in the business of providing motifs for Wool Appliqué, we add this cute little freebie to packages. There are so many cute stickers available these days, you could do likewise for your small business. The printed portion was made with Avery’s free design program on their website.
I have just 8 kits left! Why not stitch one up? Midnight Pumpkin is a classic you can display all through the months of October and November. Great wool appliqué techniques including making a three part Pumpkin from two parts!
My 2020 designs have been beach focused. We were blessed to visit and stay with friends Lynne and Steve in Flagler Beach in February while doing a Trunk Show and Class with the Racing Fingers Quilt Guild.
My first Sea Urtle design turned out pretty big.
Extra Large Sea Turtle
I redesigned the Sea Turtle for our Fun in the Sun stay at home and stitch Summer Camp with the Southeastern Quilt and Textile Museum. #sqtm

All this time I’ve had a “tiny” Sea Turtle on my mind and at least one cutout. I’ve actually started three Mini Sea Turtle Wool Appliqué or Wool and Cotton versions. I’d love to know your favorite! #prettypennyprecuts

I was honored to be asked to curate a series of wool appliqué projects for the Southeastern Quilt and Textile Museum in Carrollton, Georgia USA. A little back story…the SQTM has offered Quilt Camp for stitchers aged 9-18, four week long sessions with one on one mentors. Needless to say there Quilt Camp is very successful and feel honored to know many of the dedicated quilters that give so generously of their time and talent. Facing the necessity to cancel Quilt Camp for 2020 due to our current health crisis related to the COVID 19 Virus the SQTM Board contacted me. This was an opportunity I just couldn’t pass up! I wanted to learn how to film stitching instruction for YouTube and these projects were perfect. Of course there is and was a learning curve. SQTM Board Member JoAnna Browning has done all the video editing. I’ve learned a lot and made plenty of mistakes but with one two week session behind us and half way through the second of four projects we are well on our way.
Fun in the Sun Stay at Home and Stitch Summer Camp with the Southeastern Quilt and Textile Museum and Pretty Penny Precuts offers four wool appliqué hand stitching projects for beginning to advanced stitchers ages 9-99. Project Kits are still available and you can catch up at your own pace with YouTube project codes. #sqtm #prettypennyprecuts
May is our annual Tea and Stitches Tea Party. This year we will be up cycling a Teacup and Saucer or Teaspoon into a Pincushion! I just love useful sewing notions. I can’t wait to see what our Tea Party guests design.

Isn’t this little Minion Pincushion cute? He is an example of me being derailed. Does that ever happen to you? Needless to say the project list is long. But sometimes you just have to stop and do something fun or silly. This Minion is my prototype 1. I am working out a method to create my Minions from my die cuts and of course felted wool. Special thanks to my friend Evie for her inspiration and her Farmers Wife block for display. Put Free Minion Pincushion in your search engine and patterns by others are sure to come up. Happy Stitching!
Have you jumped onto the Mug Rug train? They are a fun, fast stitch and make perfect gifts. And…oh by the way they are a great canvas for words of inspiration and look darling as a votive candle mat. Cut some wool out today and create!
Do you have handmade gifts planned for your sewing friends? Locked in my mind forever are these words from my lovely mother Annette “if I can’t eat it, wear it or spend it I don’t want it!” LOL. To this end I created this little Scissor Holder Needle Minder combination. Hope you can fit in plenty of stitching with your Christmas preparations.
