Hi Sharon,
I was looking for a pattern this morning in my stash and found three of your patterns that were published in 2009 and 2010. I had started cutting the pattern for Abundance, but at that time I was busy caring for my parents. They have since passed and I am back to quilting. I visited your blog and noticed you were looking for testers. I know I am very late with a response, but if you need something tested in the future I would be happy to help you.

I am a former high school Home Economics teacher and have written my own quilt patterns for teaching in my former quilt shop, at retreats and quilt shows. I have also tested patterns for several designers in the states.

Have a great day,

Peggy

Dear Sharon,

I would love to test patterns for you if the fact that I live in the USA is not a problem.
I have been quilting for 30+ years. I do both applique & piecing by hand & machine. I have won various awards at local quilt shows, a national quilt show & have had several garments & accessories accepted into the Hoffman Challenge traveling collections over the years. I am also a hand embroiderer & bead embroidery teacher.
I have a bachelor’s degree in English. I base my bead embroidery designs on antique pieces, develop the patterns & write my own instructions. The feedback from my students regarding my written instructions has been very positive.
I love your designs and would consider it an honor to work with you.

Editing and proofreading are part of what I do for several authors. My math skills are strong. I’d be happy to provide that service for you, as long as language conventions for New Zealand are the same as for the United States. =) I look forward to seeing what new patterns you are producing!

I would like to help test patterns for you. I am a retired accountant. I didn’t do what most people refer to accounting, it was more managerial accounting and cost analysis. Anyway, I’ve worked my entire life making sure everything balances and that half cent is rounded up. Kind of sad, but I can’t seem to turn it off. Even when I go grocery shopping, I keep a tally of what the final cost should be so I can see if everything rang up properly. That’s a little sad too, but I’m OK with it. I got a life, a really nice one, and I’m currently getting back into garment sewing, but have been quilting for over 20 years.

Kiora, Sharon.

I would love to assist you with your creation of your beautiful quilts as a pattern tester. I am retired from teaching and have an eye for detail. I now consider myself as a full time quilt maker :) I applique, hand and machine, paper piece as well as traditional quilt making.

Kind regards, Lorraine

Hello, Sharon. I worked at a quilt shop until the owner retired and one of my jobs was pattern tester for some of the shops original patterns. I can supply you with more info if you need it privately. Your designs are great and I would love the chance to be a pattern tester for you.

Good morning Sharon,
I have followed your blog for awhile now and was so excited to see you ask for pattern testers. I have been quilting now for about 18 years. I love to piece and the only thing better than that is applique. I can do hand applique but I prefer machine applique. I would love the chance to help you make your patterns great. I have several photos I can send you if you are interested. I look forward to hearing from you.
