Joyful Traditions - Tester Versions — Martha Jane Creations

Every pattern designer relies on the fabulous work of testers! I was truly blessed with some amazingly talented ladies to help me out with my newest patter, Joyful Traditions!

It may only be October, but this pattern got all of us into the holiday spirit!! Christmas is a favorite holiday of many people, partly because it is just a “most wonderful time of the year.” It is hard for me to truly have a favorite holiday because there are things I love about them all, but Christmas does just bring a peace and loving atmosphere to a home. Christmas brings JOY!! And my testers delivered that feeling with their projects!!

Abby of @abbymaed, truly did a fabulous job. Her version used the softest holiday fabrics perfect for her little girl. While laying her wall hanging across her daughters bed to snap some pictures…..it spoke to her and truly desired to be a bed quilt. So she did just that. Read more about the bed quilt here.

Kara’s quilt was made entirely from seasonal fabric scraps from her guild’s scrap table! Wow!! You can see more from her by checking out @beanie_quilts on IG.

Cheyenne, @cheys_craftcorner, gave me all the smiles when she said, “this is probably one of my favorite patterns I have ever tested!”

Marie-Claude, @@chasing_quilts, finished her wall hanging in ONE day, and only about two days after I sent out the pattern!! Seriously, that is how fun, quick and simple this pattern can be. Plus, I love her star on the top!!!

I love how Kristen, @kristensewkrafty, incorporated her other love, crochet, into the embellishments on her quilt!!

Victoria of @midlife_quilter, knew immediately that this would hang in her house for years to come, so she chose more of a muted farmhouse vibe to match her other preferred decor.

These ladies had so much fun (which was the intention) with this pattern, making it their own and adding embellishments. See all the lovely versions below!!!
