As I said yesterday, I have been spending a lot of time in front of my computer lately. I worked with a local graphic designer to update the way my patterns look on the cover… and developed back covers so that I could start printing my patterns. After going through the graphic work, I formatted my first pattern to go to print. Yesterday, the first batch of test prints came in, and I am so excited!
Beacon Printed Patterns
Overall, I am very happy with the quality of these printed booklets, and I guess this means I will be working on formatting more of my patterns for print in this manner.

I have learned a lot along the way. Like where and how to purchase UPC codes. Hey, you never know what you are going to need to learn, right?

Now that this big milestone is out of the way, I am looking forward to seeing what comes next!
Linking up with Let’s Bee Social.
Yvonne, these look really great! My daughter is a graphic designer so I appreciate the time and work that went in to making them.
Your booklets look amazing!! I went to your Etsy store to see if you had these hardcopies available for purchase and saw your inspiration behind creating this pattern. Like you, even the smallest amount of time at my sewing machine brings me great inner peace.
They look absolutely perfect! I know who I’l be emailing should I ever get to this step, lol – those UPC codes, whatttt?
That is a stunning pattern, Yvonne. Glad your work with the designer has paid off.
Your printed patterns look great!! Congrats!
Congratulations Yvonne, they look fantastic!
I had never even THOUGHT about UPC codes! My sister handles all of the pattern formatting for me so I’m blissfully in the dark about a lot of the formatting nuances. 🙂
pretty cool! Good luck as you expand your line!
So Exciting Yvvone!!
This is a perfect time for a celebration! Congratulations on getting your first professionally printed pattern ready for sale, Yvonne. I know how much work went into the entire process and appreciate how much this means to you. Beacon looks fabulous! Love your graphic choices. Very authentic!
Congratulations! They look fantastic! What a relief for you to get the first one printed, the rest should be a piece of cake!
They look terrific!
Congratulations Yvonne on a Magnificent Job! Your printed patterns are marvelous and look so professional and very inviting! Great Job!
The pattern covers look wonderful Yvonne! The orange color scheme compliments and highlights Beacon perfectly. I’m glad you are so happy with how they turned out!
They look sooo good. I am just writing my first pattern after requests for a pattern on a FB page. Checked out Cheryl’s series and love the advice and info you added aswell.
They look great, I’m sure all the hard work will pay off, your patterns are great!!!!
The graphics are very eye catching. Congrats!! Purchase a UPC code, could never have thought of that.
They looks great, and I think they will stand out next to other quilt patterns in terms of colors and fonts.
Congrats Yvonne, the printed patterns look so good. I really like the main color you used, it’s very attractive.
Congrats! They turned out great. The colors are very eye catching as well.
congratulations on getting that milestone out of the way! U.P.C. codes amazing.
A UPC code ? I’ll have to ask mr google what this even is . I do love your new look . Good luck
With the patterns

Your patterns look so good! Congratulations for getting these done.
Congratulations Yvonne, these patterns look great! I think this could be the start of something …. 🙂
Yeah!!! They look great and so professional. Keep up all the good work. I flip flop back and forth about booklet format vs the traditional loose sheets. Can I ask where you had them printed? Im working on a new pattern but it will be a while yet before it’s ready to publish.
They look amazing and very professional, congratulations and good luck with sales.
They look great! I would love to print some of mine in the future but don’t even know where to start!
