• Carrot Patch & Easter Egg Hunt printed patterns
• Designed by Karen Walker of Laugh Yourself into Stitches

Carrot Patch

A basket full of carrots are being eyed by these sweet bunnies! This quilt measures 60” x 80” and can also be made into a smaller pillow project measuring 16” x 18”.

This quilt is for intermediate or confident beginners with a good understanding of quilting terms. Diagrams assist the written instructions with links provided if you need help with a certain quilting method used in the pattern.

Made using Karen’s fabric collection for Riley Blake Designs called “Sewing Your Oats,” this colorway creates a garden-themed quilt—or use traditional Easter colors for that special occasion!

Easter Egg Hunt

This quilt is FUN to make!

10” Stacker or Layer Cake precuts work well for this quilt. Gather up fun embellishments to add that special touch of trims. Easter Egg Hunt measures 46” x 61”. It also includes a smaller hanging, measuring 23” X 30”.

Custom quilting can be very nice, but so is an all-over quilting design. If an all-over, edge-to-edge quilting pattern is used, add the embellishments after quilting.

The Easter Egg Hunt pattern is geared towards a confident beginner. 

About Karen Walker

Karen learned how to quilt from her grandmother, cutting squares with scissors and sewing them together on a machine. She was 13 when she made her first quilt. After a long hiatus, she dipped her toes back into quilting when she found a turtle pattern that she wanted to make for her (at the time) 5-year-old son. That is when she discovered the world of rotary cutters, acrylic rulers, mats, etc. Her rekindled love of quilting motivated her to start a quilting group at her church in the late ’90s. She loved the process of making things with different fabrics and colors—and, even more so, she loved being around others doing the same thing.

At this time, she sent her quilts out to be finished by a longarmer. But when the longarmer shared that she was transitioning out of the profession, she sold her machine to Karen. So, she turned this newfound opportunity into a longarming business while her kids were in college. From there, more doors continued to open, and she followed with genuine curiosity. For instance, shortly after someone asked if she’d ever wanted to design quilts, a beautiful picture that she took of a quilt made out of scraps (now known as her first pattern Pumpkin Spice) went viral on Pinterest around 2009. She kept making designs, and now, she is creating new fabric lines for Riley Blake Designs!
