Sandy Fitzpatrick of Hissyfitz Designs is an applique quilt pattern designer whose goal is to get as many of the quirky designs, that are spinning around in her head, down on paper for youto enjoy!
Her fusible a pplique patterns are full of whimsy and will certainly bring a smile to your face. Sandy strives to make her full-sized patterns easy to follow and fun to make. Her classes, which focus on machine applique and free-motion quilting, are equally fun!
Having lived in many places as she and her husband moved around with the Air Force, Sandy now happily lives in Cary, North Carolina.
Early days of sewing included everything from clothing for herself to smocked dresses and outfits for her three children. As often happens, Sandy’s love of sewing transcended into quilt making.
She found that stitching quilts was “sew” much easier since there are a lot of straight lines and a quilt will fit anyone (one size fits all)! Her creative spirit soon took over as she tired of making traditional quilts and moved into applique quilts using her own designs.
