Inspiring Patterns

Each issue of the All Carolinas Shop Hop™ Magazine features several patterns by talented designers. Bonus patterns are also available in the free downloads area of our website. Fill out the form and bookmark the page for easy access.

We do our best to get the bonus patterns posted shortly after the magazine goes on sale each year. Sometimes it takes a little extra time if corrections are needed during the proofing process. All patterns should be posted by the start of the Shop Hop.

A native of Culpeper, Virginia, Abby learned needle crafts from her family and 4-H leaders. As a young girl, she hand pieced Four Patches with her grandmother. In 1976, during the U.S. bicentennial, Abby discovered quilting. She is passionate about bed quilts, baby quilts, and wall quilts, drawing inspiration from both traditional quilt blocks and the Modern Quilt Movement. Abby enjoys the challenge of designing within specific parameters. After graduating from seminary, her husband, Ran, joined the Army as a chaplain, leading to a thirty-year trek across the U.S. and Germany.
