I am pleased to announce the release of my very first PDF quilt pattern,
Tumble Bug!

| Baby size! 32"x32" |
A Finish!
Number 5 on my Q3 Finish Along list
Also Tumble Bug!
So here's the thing....
Since before Cheryl Brickey's Meadow Mist Designs amazingly generous, and timely Pattern Writing Blog Series, I have had this to do! I am excited to finally have this accomplishment under my belt! With notebooks full of designs, I was determined to push to get this one done.
While I would have loved to have had this ready months ago, a cross country move in March and raging wildfires in July are my excuse for a September wrap up and release!
I have reopened my Etsy shop, Cedar Fork Stitches, where this pattern is available for sale!

Tumble Bug is a precut friendly design suitable for beginners with basic sewing and cutting skills. I have included instructions for 2 quilt sizes: Baby, 32"x 32" and Throw size, 72"x 72".
It is a fun quilt that comes together quickly using a couple time-saving piecing techniques!
The baby quilt uses 2 mini-charm packs. I used Bread and Butter by American Jane(Moda).
The Throw size uses two 5" charm packs. It was such a pleasure using Grand Canal by Kate Spain(Moda) paired with this Robert Kaufman Washed Light Indigo Chambray!
I am indebted to my proof readers and pattern testers who answered my call on Instagram, and who taught me how indispensable proof readers and pattern testers are! I so appreciate their time and talents!
Shannon (@auntiemontana on IG) made this darling version of Tumble Bug using Caravan.
Her comments and suggestions were, how shall I put it? Indispensable :)
Bonus? She lives in, you guessed it, Montana! That makes us practically neighbors!
Emma (@hillstitches on IG) was also kind enough to actually make the quilt! She made time for this even though she is right in the midst of starting her own online fabric shop, Hill Stitches!
Check out Tumble Bug, done up in Lizzy House fabrics!
Emma also contributed suggestions that made the final pattern BETTER!
Sandra (@sewofcourse on IG) brought her A-game to the proof reading table, for which I am ever grateful! Maybe we will see her version in a future Finish A-Long?!
Thank you, ladies!
