Welcome... and a Free Mini Block Pattern

Hello! Thanks for visiting my new blog. I've created this blog to be a source of information. Somewhere you can come to find out about:

• My new patterns
• My existing patterns
• Free patterns
• Tutorials
• Patchwork and Quilting in general.

See the tabs across the top, under the header? They should point you in the direction you need to go. It's all very new at the moment, but I will be working on adding new and useful things, so do check back. :)

To kick the blog off, here is a link to a new free Mini Block pattern: Autumn Tints.

It is quite a simple block, just squares joined to squares, so why not give it a go? It only needs the smallest of scraps.

Mini blocks are a great way to hone your accuracy and to have a bit of a play without investing a lot of fabric. I hope you'll give them a try.

If you do make one, please show me! I love to see what people make from my patterns - it's one of the best parts of writing patterns I think. There are a number of ways you can share:

On Instagram: Tag your photos with #hopesquiltdesigns or @hopetn

You can also leave me a comment with a link to your photo, or of course, simply email me.

Happy Sewing!

Hope
