May 2023 $5 Pattern of the Month
Happy May! It’s my birthday month as well as my oldest daughter’s so it’s a special month indeed. She will be 18 which makes me older than that LOL. =) I can’t believe that I’ll have an 18 year old graduate.
Actually, both of my girls finished up their school for the year last week. We celebrated by taking an impromptu mom/daughter trip to the Myrtle Beach area from Thursday through Monday. It was so nice! We stayed in a beachfront home with a pool and spent our days traipsing from the pool to the beach. The weather was nice and warm (especially compared to Ohio weather right now) and we definitely soaked up some sun. =) Now, I technically have a high school graduate and a high school freshman…goodness!
Beautiful quilting by Kaylene Parry
All of that to say, that some of my work things got put on the back burner. One of which, was releasing the May $5 pattern of the month. For this month, I am offering my Star Striped pattern for $5. I have the pattern available in either PDF or Paper patterns in my Etsy shop here.
I also filmed a quick video chatting about Star Striped that you can watch here.
Star Striped is made using a couple prints from Sunwashed. I did mention in the video, that if you are drawn to the blues in this line, I would purchase those sooner rather than later as they tend to sell pretty quickly. If you want to see the other quilts I designed for Sunwashed you can see the blog post here and the video here. You can also see all of the fabrics from Sunwashed in this blog post. They are in quilt shops right now.
Thanks so much for stopping by & have a wonderful day! Corey
Happy Birthday! 🎂 It’s my birthday month too. Love May, it’s a beautiful month🌸and we get to celebrate beautiful things in the Month of May like Mother’s Day and graduations🎓 Congrats on your HS graduate. Fun times!

Happy Birthday to you & your daughter 🎂🎂 Congratulations on your daughter’s graduation!
Thank you so much!
Happy Birthday in May!
I love this pattern in Sunwashed! It’s beautiful!
Thank you so much!
Happy Birthday to you and your daughter! Glad you spent time making memories with your daughters. I love this pattern and the sunwashed blues are so beautiful. I have a quilting conundrum, I want to make and purchase more quilts than I can make this year 🤪🤣 isn’t that a wonderful hobby!
Thank you!…I think all quilters run into that same thing!—too many pretty fabrics and quilts to narrow things down. =)
Congratulations on your oldest’s Graduation. Very Proud Mom moment indeed!! Thanks for all the wonderful info and posts that you do
Thank you so much!…I can’t believe that it’s already time for her to graduate…and that she will be 18 in just a couple weeks. =)
I live in Myrtle Beach! I am so happy that you had a great time here. It is much cooler this week, but still sunny.
It was wonderful!…we were there from Thursday to Monday and the weather was so nice. When we left on Thursday it was showing that your area was going to get around 1-2 inches of rain on Sunday. But by the time Sunday rolled around there was only brief storms in the morning so it really turned out to be such a beautiful time to visit. The temps were perfect!
Happy Birthday Corey to you and your daughter!!!!
🎂🎁🎉🎈🌼🥳🥰🤗❤️🎊
Thank you so much Delores!
Happy birthday to you and your daughter! How wonderful to take a trip and just relax! Time does fly by quickly doesn’t it!
It was so nice…and it sure does!
Happy, Happy Birthday! May is my birthday month as well. Are you a Taurus or a Gemini? I hope you have a blessed month and Congratulations on your daughter graduation 🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹
Happy Birthday!…I think Taurus?—It’s May 14. =)
Happy Birthday Corey!!
May you have a Blessed Birthday!
Thank you so much!
Sounds like you have many fun things to enjoy this month. Happy Birthday. I have a question unrelated to this blog. I watched your tutorials on Big Stitch quilting &made the pillow. It was fun! Do you know of a resource that shows different big stitch patterns. I’m not to creative at times and Ned a jump start with some ideas. Thank you.
It’s such a busy month for us here! I’m so glad you enjoyed stitching up a pillow. I think they are such great projects to hand quilt. =) I do a lot of straight line quilting when I am using big stitches. Because of the spacing in between the stitches, sometimes more intricate patterns don’t show up as nicely. I always think that pinterest is such a nice resource when you want to see different things visually, and I would suggest doing a bit of perusing there. There are definitely different pattern options when it comes to big stitch quilting and I think being able to see them visually helps so much in knowing what you might like to do.
Happy Birthday Cory to you and your daughter. My oldest Birthday is May 8th. I can’t believe she’s going to be 45! How did that happen?
I love everything you create!
Well Happy Birthday to her! It does zip by, doesn’t it. =)
Happy Birthday to you both. Kids grow up so fast, but we aren’t growing any older! It is finally a beautiful day in Northwest Ohio and I’m getting the itch to be out in the garden and its time to purchase flowers and flowers and flowers! I need to get that done so I can go back to sewing. You are an inspiration to me to create beautiful things, thank you!
It has been a beautiful day, hasn’t it! I’ve been ready to be done with all of that rain!
I never have any luck locating your fabrics in yardage. Any ideas?
Current fabric lines (like Sunwashed) can be found easily online if your local quilt shop isn’t carrying it. Older fabric lines become difficult to find as once they sell out, they are no longer available. If you prefer to shop locally, you can let your local shop know that you’re interested in purchasing my fabrics lines from them. They are able to purchase the fabrics about 6 months in advance of receiving them.
Happy Birthday Cory and to your daughter as well. Time does fly by, doesn’t it? I live just south of MB. Hope you had a great stay.
I can’t believe you have an 18-year old child either! You wear your youth well. May the fourth be with you (since you posted on Star Wars day) and happy birthday Corey. Glad you got an impromptu beach vacay. Thank you for giving to others so much of yourself. May your birthday be full of warm wishes coming back to you tenfold <3
