Once Upon a Story ...Humpty Dumpty's Wall

Hard to believe 5 years! But here we are again, participating in Marian Pena's RAL, this year called "Once Upon a Story"


We've come a long way from sharing patterns on craftsy, to payhip and now I have my own website so you can check out a lot of the products I have in my brick and mortar store (via the website). Here is a link directly to the pattern and Northcott fabrics. I've also included previous RAL patterns. Northcott has been a great sponsor through the years and I'm excited to have the actual fabrics this year available for you to purchase directly.



When I think of childhood stories, several come to mind, but the first image that came to mind that I'd want to put a pattern together for was Humpty Dumpty's wall. This design can be used as filler elements or as its own block. The pattern includes all of the sizes suggested for this RAL.

18" vertical x 9"

9" x 18"

12" x 30"

30" vertical x 12"

 30" x 30"



There are many other ways you could use this design, here is an example (inspired by a design from Ann Kelly) using old jeans and a fabric for the 'mortar'.


I actually have several 'brick' like fabrics ...make your own or pre-printed bricks.
 Free shipping when total order is at least $75.

Additional Notes About Giveaways From Our Sponsors and Marian

I am not rich and I do not ask sponsors for money, they provide prizes only.

If they shipped the prize to me, you will be asked to pay for shipping.

All giveaways will be shipped that are in my home on each Saturday of the event.

An invoice will be sent to you via Paypal, and shipping will take place via Paypal, so your Paypal email will be needed to send the invoice. You will receive a tracking number except for overseas shipments. Depending on the weight of the prize, first class is always my first choice, but priority mail will be done where needed. Paypal fees are added to that amount to cover that fee.

Please note, every effort is made to protect the prizes. They go into a plastic bin when I receive them, and it is covered by an airtight cover. I have a dog in my home and I have a smoker in my home, so I do everything possible to protect the prizes.


Most companies are very good about getting prizes off to customers quickly also, but some companies are overseas, so please allow all sponsors a 2-week time period before you report to me that you still haven’t received your prize. When the company is overseas, it can take 6 weeks to 90 days for an item to also arrive.
