Sew Many Visions is a quilt pattern company owned by Vicki Arnold and Pat Gates.  They have been friends and business partners for a number of years, during which time they have produced over 60 patterns, 2 books and an original tool "Triangle Tracer™" for the fast and accurate marking of diagonal lines for half-square triangles and various other  applications.

Designs by Vicki and Pat can be classified as simple elegance.  Early patterns were created to be small weekend projects, wall hangings, and banners, with motifs ranging from floral to landscape.  However, the line now includes larger wall quilts, table runners, mantel scarves, placemats, and bed quilts.

It is an overall company goal to produce designs with broad appeal, and a variety of sewing techniques.  For those quilters who enjoy appliqué, there is a multitude of patterns with detailed instructions for both needle-turn work and machine/fusible appliqué.  For those who prefer piecework, innovative settings for traditional blocks can be found in all their patterns.  Most offer several techniques within a single pattern.

Vicki developed her own method of fusible appliqué, which does not require reversing the pieces, leaving less margin for error.  And Pat does a beautiful job of putting Vicki’s designs into print, with helpful graphics and computer generated alternate settings for the motifs.

Sew Many Visions is represented by several distributors nationwide, but Vicki and Pat also enjoy traveling to quilt shows including the International Quilt Festival in Houston.  They also do trunk shows, demos, and classes tailored to meet the specific needs of Guilds.  To book them for your show or event, e-mail them at sewmanyvisions@gmail.com.
