Season's Greetings from FourTwinSisters.com.

Thank you so much to all of you who have eagerly emailed us in the past several.... ummm.... *months* (gasp! Has it been that long!) wondering if you have been inadvertently dropped off our mailing list. No, no,... you are still on the list, we just took a loooooooong break and didn't send a newsletter since (gulp) last JANUARY. Yes, a beating with a wet noodle would be appropriate. Please limit yourself to 50 lashes each. Thank you.

We didn't produce many new patterns this year, but we did get a new designer! Little Mei, age 7, has started her quilt pattern career with three lovely whimsical patterns that you might enjoy.

1. Frog Eating a Fly

2. Fish eating a Frog Egg

3. Baby Dragon

Little Mei enjoys drawing, especially dragons and other creatures. Hopefully we'll feature more of Little Mei's work in the future!

As for the other projects we've been working on - a book, pattern kits, and the like - we'll slowly be getting back into the swing of things, and expect good things to happen in the near future.

Thank you for your kind patience during 2007 - "The Year Of No Patterns". Your words of encouragement have been greatly appreciated.

Sincerely,
Annette Truong
FourTwinSisters.com
:)

P.S. our traditional fat quarter drawing at Christmas makes everyone a winner! Since I'm anticipating a lot of winners claiming their prize, I'm going to be giving out fat eighths (instead of fat quarters) to the first 50 replies by December 20. Please email your full mailing address to Annette: annettetruong@.... Yes if you are international you are eligible. One mailing per household.

Privacy: Your address will not be used for any purpose except to mail your fat eighth. It is then purged from my records.

Sending fat eighths is my thank you to everyone who has supported FourTwinSisters in any way, from browsing our patterns, to making donations online, to sending encouraging email. Thank you quilters!

Beta Testers Needed

If you own a website or blog, you are eligible. I am testing a new "Pattern of the Day" widget. This widget shows one of our new, unpublished patterns daily. After the pattern is shown, it goes back into "the closet". Some of these patterns will be published in the future but many will not.

If you would like to see these new patterns daily, all you need to do is copy the "Pattern of the Day" code into your website or blog, someplace you check frequently. Please let me know if it's not showing patterns correctly, or if you have a problem clicking through to one of the patterns.

For more information, and to get the code, click here: http://www.free-quilt-patterns.net/pod

I cleaned out my closets and am donating much of my fabric to charity. I've made up several kits with enough fabric to make a complete child-size quilt top. If you would like to sew a quilt top for charity, please send me your mailing address. I'll send you a kit (for free) and when you have pieced the top, please mail it back. You can keep the extra fabric as a "thank you". The quilt top shown is a sample of the quilt top you'd make. Very simple, with applique accents.

Barter Items Needed

Our patterns are free using the barter system. If you like our patterns, send a fat quarter.

We would appreciate tone-on-tones, in the following colors: JEWEL TONES.

Mail your fat quarter to: Four Twin Sisters, PO Box 111104, Campbell CA 95011-1104

Thank you to the following people who sent in barter items:

  • Katherine K - Rayle, GA Katherine sent in two lovely brown fat quarters. Thank you Katherine!

Pattern Tester Spotlight

Judy Bowes


Judy Bowes started testing our patterns in the summer. She started with Christmas gift and has since done several of our patterns. Judy was also generous with her barter, sending in over 20 yards of fabric swatches by P&B textiles.

Much of that fabric has already been used in free kits mailed to pattern testers. Judy has a Basenji dog, which I made into a pattern for her.

Judy's pattern tester appreciation mug features over 10 of her patterns. Thank you for your time, barter, and effort, Judy!


Many of the photos above and below are patterns tested by Judy.

Pattern Tester Spotlight

Janet Seiber


Janet Seiber was one of our first pattern testers to sign up earlier this summer. After completing her first couple of kits in record time, Janet volunteered to test our patterns using her own fabric. She sent me a photo of her fabric stash, and I can see why she volunteered to use her own fabric!

Janet's fabric stash

Janet received a "5-star pattern tester" t-shirt when she completed her first 6 patterns. She was the first tester to receive a t-shirt, and I have since made this offer available to all testers in lieu of the normal 1 FQ per pattern.

Janet's tshirt

She even put a new twist on some of our patterns, such as changing the paper pieced clamshell to look like a Jamaican lady. All of the photos below are patterns tested by Janet.

5.) Free postcard

I just got a shipment of postcards! Real ones made from paper. The kind you can write on. With a pen. (I get cramps just thinking about pens....my keyboard gets a kiss) But, nothing beats a piece of communication you can hold in your hand. They feature our website splash page on one side, and a miniature "Jack Russell Terrier" pattern on the side you can write an address on. If you would like one for free, send me a self-addressed, stamped envelope and I'll send you a postcard. I also have a few print-outs of "Hummer" laying around, indicate if you would like one also. Limit 1 postcard per person, while supplies last.

6.) About Us

FourTwinSisters.com is a site that features free quilt patterns. Yes, we really are four twin sisters!

Margaret and Annette are the oldest twins and the creator of all the patterns on FourTwinSisters.com. We do all our patterns using the fine vector art capabilities of MS Word! We both love quilting, but since we both work full time and have toddlers, it's easier for us to indulge in our love of quilting by making patterns for others to enjoy. Our younger sisters, Penny and Marilyn, love quilting too but since they are in full-time medical studies they only contribute their pretty faces to our logo, and words of encouragement. We also have a younger brother, David, who, as far as I know, has never made a quilt. (Are there too many commas in that sentence? I never know when to stop.)

We hope you enjoy our free patterns!

Sincerely,

Annette & Margaret

Marilyn & Penny
