Express Yourself!
Typecast Fast, a foundation paper pieced (FPP/machine pieced) pattern, provides you with the entire English alphabet, all the numbers and lots of punctuation — a total of 50 block designs! Make any word or phrase you want. Mix and match Typecast with your other favorite quilt blocks to customize your projects. The possibilities are endless!
Typecast Fast blocks finish at 9″ tall. Typecast Fast is the same size and design as the original Typecast version (an English Paper Piecing/hand pieced) pattern, so you can combine the two patterns in the same quilt.
This pattern is fabric stash friendly. Scraps, fat eighths and fat quarters work great for the letters, numbers, and punctuation. Use prints, solids and/or fussy-cut your favorite fabric. You’ll enjoy making these fully-tested, foundation paper pieced blocks.

For a long time, I’ve wanted to do a house quilt. And with the debut of my first fabric line, Architextures–an homage to my architectural roots–I thought it a fitting opportunity to create one. Instead of creating just one house to repeat, I decided to have an adventure by exploring a variety of houses. After all, that is what I see in my favorite neighborhoods, a charming mix of different architectural styles and house types. So, I started the design journey for this quilt in my hometown, roaming the streets with my sketchbook and camera in hand. I toured some of the oldest neighborhoods looking for interesting details to use in my quilt. I found loads of character in porches, awnings, and rooflines. In the end, there are 9 spaces (blocks) that make up the quilt.
As a creative bonus, I commissioned Alexandra Reisman to create a series of nine original short stories. These stories offer a snapshot of life in each house (and non-house), adding another creative dimension to the project.
Project size : 61″ x 72-1/4″
Local is a printed, physical pattern that includes all 9 portions of the Block-Of-The-Month project.
Techniques : Paper/foundation piecing and basic piecing
Pattern extras : This pattern includes a series of original short stories by Alexandra Reisman, as well as an illustrated technique glossary, handy tip section, quilting diagrams, and directions for making a hanging sleeve.
Dinosaurs is a patchwork sampler pattern featuring Brachiosaurus, Stegosaurus, Tyrannosaurus, and Triceratops blocks. Everything is made from square and rectangular pieces sewn together using conventional patchwork techniques. No templates or paper piecing! Pattern includes two quilt sizes, both of which can be made using fat quarters.
Well rounded and to the point–my Hesperides Quilt pattern is a play on opposites–both in terms of shape and weight. While playing with my Euclid fabric collection on Essex (a linen cotton blend fabric), the weight had me thinking a lot about transparency and opacity. I loved pairing the meaty linen with Robert Kaufman’s oh-so-delicate lawn and quilting cotton. This project is the perfect opportunity to perfect your points and explore a variety of fabrics.
+ Part of the Slow Sewing Studio, this appliqué pattern offers plenty of practice with points in appliqué.
+ Featured fabrics are from my Euclid collection with Robert Kaufman.

Fabric: works well with Fat Quarters (18″x22″)
