Where is Chatterbox Quilts?

Hi everyone:


I was recently reflecting on how many fellow quilters and fabric enthusiasts I've met through my blog and my Facebook page. I've enjoyed making new friends on-line and appreciate the support that you've given me. I've also found that it's a great way to keep in touch with existing friends across the country. 


It occurred to me that while some of you may know where I am on-line, there are probably others who aren't aware of all the places Chatterbox Quilts is on the web. So I thought I'd bring you up to date. Are you ready? Here goes:


You're already following my blog, so you know I'm here.

Did you know that I have a personal Facebook page, as well as a Chatterbox Quilts fan page? I try to keep my fan page for quilt related items.


I'm on Twitter as CBQuilts, if you like to tweet.

I have a Youtube channel, although there is only one video there - yet!

I also have an Etsy store, where you can find both my epatterns and my paper patterns. I also have appliqué templates, embroidery patterns and stuffie patterns there.

I have a website where you can find out more about me as well as listen to some of my earlier podcasts.

If you're a quilt shop owner, you should know that you an order my patterns wholesale from The Pattern Peddlers. 

You do know that I have some free projects available, don't you? You can find them on my blog and on my website.

Whew! I think that's it - at least for now. 


I hope that you find something entertaining, interesting or educational wherever you find me on-line:)

New Patterns

Mini quilt using "Becca" appliqué template

I'm thrilled to announce a new series of appliqué templates. 


Yes, I said templates, not patterns. I've designed several appliqué templates that can be used in a variety of ways. These will look great on quilts and wall hangings and are adaptable to use for other projects, such as clothing and purses. I can envision these designs on pillows and tea towels - perfect for gift giving. You can use these templates in any project that you can imagine - no limitations.


Although I do like to create larger projects, sometimes I only have time for a smaller one and this is how I envision that these templates will be used. Need a quick gift for a friend? Choose one of the appliqué templates and create a mini-quilt. Want to make a placemat set for a house warming? Piece together a simple background and take it up a notch by adding an appliqué. You'll find lots of uses for these designs.

The best part of all is that these templates are available for purchase through my Etsy store as PDF downloads. Just choose the appliqué that you like and it'll be sent to you by email. Quick and easy! You can order anytime - day or night! You'll receive an appliqué placement guide with each design and full-size individual appliqué templates already reversed for fusible web appliqué. 


If you're one of my Quilt Chatter newsletter subscribers, you'll receive a one of my appliqué designs FREE in the November 2010 issue. If you're not a subscriber, be sure to sign up for Quilt Chatter by clicking on the top right side of my blog and completing the required information so that you'll receive the free pattern too.


I'm already making projects with these and hope that you'll send me photos of your own creations. 


If you have any ideas for appliqué designs that you'd like to see, please leave me a comment with your suggestions.


Back to the drawing board!
