    By any chance do you have a kit available to make Tiffany’s Garden?

    Thanks,
    Sue Kunzmann

    • Dawn says:

      Sorry, Sue, there is no kit for Tiffany’s Garden. If you could find the focus fabric, I think you could make the quilt using fabrics that are very similar to the ones I used in my quilt.

    I WANT TO COVER AN OTTOMAN. SAW YOUR SLIPCOVER. DO U HAVE A PATTERN? I AM A BEGINNER BUT HAVE A FRIEND THAT WILL HELP ME WITH PROJECT.

    • Dawn says:

      I do not have a pattern for the slipcover I made for my sister’s ottoman. I just took measurements and made it as I went along, using the lines of the existing cover as my guides. Good luck with yours!

  3. Marlene Bles says:

    On your website I saw a quilt called Reach for the Stars. I have been trying (in vain) to find this pattern. By chance do you have it available for purchase. I really like this pattern and enjoyed the revisions you made to the original pattern and I would like to make this for a wedding gift. Thank you for your response.

      You can purchase the back issues of Quilter’s Newsletter for download. Then follow Dawn’s tips on the outside border.

      Can’t remember which issues off hand but read Dawn’s earlier replies for that information.

  4. Judy says:

    I made your Rotary Cutter Case and it is marvelous.
    My Quilt Guild (Valley Quilt Guild) in Palmer, Alaska, is wondering if we can
    make some of these to sell in our Fair Booth in August. This is how we fund
    our Education classes for the Guild.
    Thank you for your ideas.

    • Dawn says:

      Thank you for respecting copyright law, Judy! I am happy to give your guild permission to make and sell rotary cutter coats made from my design. — Dawn

  5. Alta says:

    I also would like permission to make your rotary cutter for our church quilting group sale we have at church as a fund raiser. Thank You. Your site is amazing, so many designs and tutorials. God Bless You. I live in Oregon and have not missed a Sisters Quilt show in 25 years. Are you going to be there in 2017?

    • Dawn says:

      Of course, Alta! Thank you so much for asking. And yes, I plan to be at the Sisters Quilt Show next year. Maybe we will run into each other!

  6. Jane Nadig says:

    Hi, I would love to make your tool caddy. Do you have a pattern to make one and the pattern price?
    Jane

    • Dawn says:

      Hi Jane. The tool caddy is not my design. The pattern is called Travel Case by p3designs.com. You can purchase it on line from the designer.

    You are so creative, Dawn, and always choose such pretty fabrics together!

    And you are a wonderfully patient teacher!
