Bootyful

It is a New Year and we are all hoping that 2017 will be a good one.  I am so excited to have my patterns featured at QuiltWoman.com.

My first featured pattern is: Bootyful

In this pattern, you will find instructions on how to make two different boots – The Big Boot and The Little Boot.

When I first started making the boots, I gave them as gifts to friends and family. I would buy a small Christmas Cactus plant, or a can of peanuts or candy and insert them into the boots. They were a real hit.  Now I have made it into a pattern so that others can make them as well.

Many local quilt shops have purchased this pattern and have made a variety of samples. It has proven to be very popular.

While Christmas is an ideal time to make the boot as a gift, it can be used on many other occasions throughout the year.

   Valentine’s Day: Make it red and white and fill it with candy.

   Baby Shower: Use pink or blue fabric and fil it with baby supplies.

   Desk Gift: Fill it with pencils and other desk supplies and match the décor.

   Easter Gift: Use Easter fabric and fill it with little Easter eggs.

   Halloween: Use Halloween fabric and fill it with Halloween candy.

   Quilter’s gift: Fill it with quilting supplies such as marking pens, snips, scissors, glue sticks, etc.

There are so many possibilities for this Bootyful Pattern.

Often Quilt shop owners place two co-ordinated fat quarters inside the pattern sleeve and sell it as a kit as the Little Boot requires only two fat quarters.

You need to be an advanced beginner to make this pattern. Once you make just one – you won’t want to stop. I hope you will try my pattern and have fun making gifts for your friends and family.

Wishing you all the best in 2017.

Mary Lajoie
