Sweetheart doll
You might have spotted this little doll already, The Sweetheart Doll is proving to be very popular. She appears on the cover of the upcoming book and is already available as a kit.
We say “she” but this could just as well be a boy doll. The little hair buns are of course optional.
A large head on a smaller body with tiny arms and legs, who can resist that…
The doll kits are flying off the shelves and we are delighted that she is so well liked. The kit contains everything you need to make a doll except filling and rouge for rosy cheeks.
Here is a small You Tube preview made by Stitch Craft Create.

Tilda & Panduro
Some of our Nordic costumes have asked why the Tilda range is no longer available in the Panduro Catalogue.
Well, Tilda has for a few years had a catalogue of her own and the Tilda catalogue is now presented alongside the Panduro catalogue on Panduro’s web site.
Here you will find the news and all available Tilda products.
To get information and prices in your language and currency go to Panduro.com and choose your country. In most countries you will find the Tilda catalogue under “Browse catalogue”.

Cosy Christmas Stockings
Add a personal touch to your Christmas decor with large cosy and comforting Christmas stockings.
Full of candy and gifts they will also make a sweet and unique gift for family and friends.
When the stockings are finished with folded edges they measure 55 cm (22in)
We used the “Sweetheart” fabric collection, quilt wadding, off-white quilt fabric for the lining, and “Sweetheart” buttons with spots for decoration”.
Print the two parts for the pattern:
Christmas Stocking Pattern 1 and Christmas Stocking Pattern 2.
Add 15 cm (6in) to the length of the stocking between the pattern pieces, see figure A.
Make a paper template by gluing the pieces together, and cut out the full stocking shape.
Cut two opposite/reversed stocking pieces in the stocking fabric, lining fabric and wadding.
If you want to quilt the stockings as we have done here you will also need two pieces in backing fabric. Add a large seem allowance to all the pieces.
The backing will not be visible in the end, so you can use any old fabric.
Patchwork stocking
The patchwork stocking is made out of 3in (7,5 cm) squares. Seem allowance is included so when sewn into the patchwork the squares are 2,5in (6,25 cm).
Sew together enough squares to cover the pattern and seem allowance for each of the stocking pieces, and continue as you would with a simple stocking piece.
Attach the wadding to the back of the stocking pieces, and the backing fabric on the other side of the wadding. You can use a basting spray or stitch a large seem along the edge.
Quilt the stocking pieces by hand or sewing machine, see figure B.
Place the lining and stocking pieces right side together.
Trace or refresh the pattern onto the lining piece and sew along the scalloped edge. See figure C.
Cut any extra seem allowance only along the scalloped edge, and make small notches between the bows. Be sure not to cut into the seem. See figure D.
Place the two sewn-together parts right sides together. Trace or refresh the pattern drawing on the stocking part, and sew around. Leave a reverse opening in the lining part, see figure E.
Cut any extra seem allowance and make notches in the seem allowance where the seem curves inwards.
Turn the stocking inside out. Use a flower stick or similar to turn the scalloped edge.
Push the lining into the stocking part. (If you need to iron turn the stocking and iron from the lining side to avoid damaging the quilt effect.)
Fold down the edge, see picture of stockings.
Loop
Cut a 3.5 x 20 cm (1,3/8 x 8in) strip for the loop.
Fold and iron each short end approximately 1 cm (3/8in) inwards.
Fold and iron approximately 7 mm (1/4in) inwards along each long side, then fold and iron the strip in half so that it will become approximately 1 cm (3/8in) wide.
Stitch up the open side by hand or machine.
Fold the loop and tack the ends to the inside of the stocking.
Buttons are sweet decor along the scalloped edge.
Have a great weekend!

Paper Piece Patchwork Balls
A few costumers have asked us about the Patchwork Balls in the pictures. These are actually our new Paper Piece products this spring. The packages contain paper piece shapes that you cover with fabric using the Tilda Paper Piece glue pen. You can then easily sew perfect patchwork balls by hand.
There are two different packages, one with balls made of pentagon shapes, and one with balls made of biconvex shapes.
Each package come with explanations and paper pieces for 16- 20 balls in two sizes.
All you need in addition to the paper pieces and glue are some leftover fabrics, good hand sewing thread, a needle and some stuffing.
Patchwork balls look lovely just lying in a bowl or on a platter, squeeze one into a porcelain cup and you have a nice needle cushion.
They also make cute toys, you can easily put a round bell in with the stuffing to make them jingle.

Pardon My Garden Quilt – Free Pattern!
The Pardon My Garden quilt is a classic design made up of diamonds and looks wonderful in any setting. The diamonds are framed by narrow strips of off white, witch makes them “float” within the setting.
We used all of the 12 Pardon My Garden Fabrics and off-white quilt fabric for the quilt top. You will find a detailed list of materials in the explanation.
The explanation for this quilt (and many Tilda quilts to come) is written by our new friend and collaborator Linda Clements. Many of you know her as the woman behind “The Quilter’s Bible”. Her talent for explanations and step-by-step illustrations is just amazing!
Here is the Pardon My Garden Quilt and Pardon My Garden – Diamond Template.
Personalize your quilt with matching Pardon My Garden quilt labels!

It has fifty-four circle blocks, all made the same way using templates. The quilt uses fabrics from the Spring Diaries range combined with solid off white quilt fabric.
Here is the Spring Diaries Quilt explanation, Template 1 and Template 2.
