Happy Quilting Updates!!!

Today I am so excited to share some new updates to Happy Quilting!!!  I have been working on these in the background for some time and am thrilled to have them completed.  My hope is that it will be much easier to find exactly what you are looking for when you are searching over 14 years of blogging :)   So most everything stars with the new Navigation Bar that can be found directly under the title of my blog.  By clicking on any of these links, you are taken to a page with condescend information that links you to blog pages.    So let's have a little walk through of the updates so you can find what your looking for at Happy Quilting!! 

So let's start at the beginning with the Happy Quilting Patterns & Corrections link on the Navigation bar.   By clicking on the link, you will be brought to a page with all of my newly formatted Happy Quilting Patterns.   This is a great place to see all of the sizes, skill level, and precut friendly listing of patterns.    And if you are interested in particular pattern just click on the PDF or PAPER link of the pattern under the picture of it to be taken to my Etsy Shop listing of it ;) 

The Happy Quilting Patterns & Corrections link is also where you will find any corrections that have been made to my patterns.   The corrections will be shown after the listing of the pattern and will also have a link the the post that goes into greater detail of the correction.   I hope this helps when making your Happy Quilting quilts ;) 

The next section in the Navigation Bar is Free Downloadable PDF Patterns.   Did you know that I now have over 30 Free PDF Patterns that you can download??   And I am adding more just as quick as I can.    And at the beginning of the page, I have added jump links to make it easier to search all of the patterns.   Simply click on the type of PDF Pattern you are looking for to start.   So if I was looking for Free Fat Quarter PDF Patterns, I would click on that jump link.  (but not on this picture below, it is just to show you, you need to click on it in the  Free Downloadable PDF Patterns page at the top of the blog ;)   

That would take you to the listing of all the Free Fat Quarter PDF Patterns.   Then simply click on the picture of the Free PDF Pattern you would like.   So if I wanted to download Flora Bloom, I would click on the first picture and . . . 

That takes you to the Flora Bloom Quilt Blog Post.  From here you can click on any of the Free PDF Pattern links in the post to be taken directly to the pattern and download it for you free.  Super simple and oh so much fun ;)  

The next section in the Navigation Bar is Sew Many Quilt Tutorials.   And sew many is no exaggeration.  I have over 80 Quilt tutorials with step by step instructions and pictures that walk you through every step of making the quilt.  And once again, I have added jump links to help you search those 80 tutorials to find exactly the type of project you are looking for.   You just navigate the same way you did for the Free PDF Patterns, you just get tutorials instead :)  

And the last new section I want to talk about on the Navigation Bar is More Tutorials - Projects, Blocks & Techniques  And I am most excited about this page as it has been the hardest to find things in these categories and now it should be a snap ;)  As you can imagine, over 14 years of writting the blog added up to lots and lots of tutorials on quilt blocks, techniques, and other tutorials that aren't quilts.   This is the place to find them now!!  I hope you have fun surfing through these jump links and finding all of the past free stuff I have shared.   And again, just use the jump links to be taken to the areas you want to peruse.  

And the rest of the sections in the navigation bar have not changed much, but feel free to surf through them to see video tutorials, past quilt alongs, where I will be teaching, and so forth.  Oh, and if you find any broken links, tutorials, ect . . . please let me know.  I try to find all of them, but hey, with14 years of posts and things are gonna slip through ;)  

I hope you love these new updates as much as I do and that they will help you find all that Happy Quilting has to offer you in your quilting journey.  If you have any questions at all, please don't hesitate to put them in the comments or send me an email at happyquiltingmelissa@gmail.com.  I want this to be a place that is a joy to come and learn quilting!!
