All Framed Up – Sew Bittersweet Designs

All Framed Up, An Unplanned Finish

6 Comments / All Framed Up / By Melissa Dunworth

Last week I finished up another version of my All Framed Up pattern. This one is destined to go to a friend who is pregnant. Although, now that I have finished my class with Katie from Sew Katie Did, I’m wondering whether or not there is enough value difference. (More about my class on Thursday.) Oh well, it is what it is and I will apply the things I learned from the class to my future quilts!

I love this quilt, especially the birdie and butterfly focus prints. They just make me so happy. My favorite thing about this pattern is all the negative space, it gives you so much room to practice your FMQ in. I did an all over swirl design in the gray and in the purple I did a border design from Angela Walters’ book.

I even learned that for the last 2 years I have been threading my machine incorrectly. Turns out you should always thread your machine with the foot up. I don’t always do that and when I don’t do it I have MAJOR tension problems. Thank goodness for the user manual! So there is my unplanned finish for February.

What are you up to?

All Framed Up Pattern Launch

Welcome to the launch of my All Framed Up pattern! It is up on Craftsy as a digital download! I am doing a special launch price for only $5.00.

The pattern comes in 2 sizes: lap size and king size.

The great thing about this quilt pattern is that it is designed for the beginning quilter. This pattern features a great use of negative space which is wonderful for people like me who are just starting to learn free motion quilting – it provides a beautiful space to practice. The quilt goes together in a very short period of time – you can easily make a top in one afternoon!

I had some really wonderful quilting friends take the time to test this pattern! They made some truly incredible quilts!

Rachel from Raven Quilts and block fun created this beauty.

Debbe from Pieces to Love created this masterpiece, you can read what Debbe had to say about the pattern here.

The talented Carolyn from Sweet Boater Chick created this beautiful batik version! You can read about her experience sewing the pattern here.

My friend Honnah, from my new Modern Quilt Guild, whipped up this fun version (check out her mad free motion quilting skills!).

Barb from Mountain Quiltworks did a stunning take on the pattern, and with her long arm she did some amazing quilting. You can read about her experience with the pattern here.

One of my wonderful readers, Shiv, was kind enough to test the King Size version of my pattern, in her words “it is HUGE”.

I hope you enjoy this pattern and get ready I will be coming out with a new pattern soon and will be looking for more testers. You can download the All Framed Up pattern over on Craftsy.
