Each issue of the All Arizona & New Mexico 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.

Robin Jacobs – A Quilted Home
Robin began sewing at age 12 at her mother’s knee. Mixing individual fabrics into nifty creations, a process that never fails to amaze, spawned a cherished family tradition through her kids and grandkids. Working at a quilt shop between custom jobs allowed Robin to connect with diverse customers and explore their unique designs. “As a Christian, I believe God has given me this talent to use for others.” Whether crafting custom designs or utilizing traditional patterns, tailoring her work to her clients’ needs fills her cup daily.

Lynn Christiansen – Emerald Falls Quilts
Lynn is a talented quilt pattern designer, dedicated instructor, and creator of the Wanderlust Quilt Society. Residing in Cary, NC, she finds endless inspiration from her travels to different destinations, crafting unique quilt patterns along the way. Each work reflects the beauty and essence of diverse landscapes, cultures, and traditions of the places she visits.
Melisa Hart – Stitchology
Melisa has been sewing since age five, inspired by her mother’s yard sale sewing machine. She attended fashion design school and opened Stitchology in Albuquerque at age 26. Full of enthusiasm and love for the art, and endless energy of youth, she started small, believing in hard work and careful planning. Over time, her dedication and her line of patterns helped Stitchology and her pattern line grow into a successful business.
Cheryl Nelson – Pink Parakeet Designs
Cheryl Nelson is the proud business owner behind Pink Parakeet Designs. When she’s not busy turning fabric into quilts, she is plotting her next quilt design or trying to locate her phone (spoiler: it’s probably under a pile of fabric!). You can find her creations at both local quilt shops and on Etsy. Cheryl thrives on inspiration from everyday life–music, sunny days, a touch of whimsy, and…flamingos! Each pattern tells a story, and she hopes her designs inspire others to create. She enjoys engaging with fellow creators, especially at Camp Tecumseh Quilt Camp in Delphi, Indiana, where every conversation is a learning opportunity.
Doris Rice – Cactus Queen Quilt Co
Doris began sewing at seven in Nevada, Missouri. Upon working at a local fabric store, her love of quilting developed, and she began teaching technique classes and workshops. She bought her first longarm machine in 1990 and after raising her family, she purchased her second longarm. Known as the Quilting Queen, she has expanded to pattern design, opened Queen’s Rustic Retreat for crafting getaways, and took over X-Blocks rulers and templates. She realized her dream to open a brick-and-mortar store, Cactus Queen Quilt Co – a full-service quilt shop – in 2018. Now based in San Antonio, Texas, Doris continues to teach and inspire others with her work and expertise.
Julia Murtha – Hip Stitch
Throughout her 25 years in broadcast media, Julia pursued creative hobbies like costume-making, knitting, crochet, and quilting. She prefers designing her own quilt layouts and patterns, including foundation paper-pieced patterns. In 2008, she launched a YouTube channel (@nmjewells) for weekly craft vlogs. In 2022, she left corporate work to join Hip Stitch in Albuquerque, NM, where she founded Creature Comforts—sewing blankets for shelter pets—and teaches beginner FPP classes. Julia loves sharing tips and tricks she’s learned over the years with anyone that will listen!
Susan Cook – Larkspur Lane Designs
Susan has been quilting since 2000. Early on, she took a foundation paper piecing class and fell in love with the technique. Soon afterward, she designed her first quilt and was pleasantly surprised when people began asking for the pattern. Since then, her designs have been published in more than a dozen magazines, including two appearances in Quiltmaker’s 100 Blocks by Today’s Top Designers. Six of her designs have been included in the most recent Island Batik catalogs. Susan loves working with brand new fabric designs!
