Hello quilting friends! My name is Sue Pfau, and my pattern design company is called “Sweet Jane’s Quilting & Design”. I named it after my daughter Jane. My husband and I adopted Jane from China. Our son, Jack, is from Taiwan.
A little about myself….I am a wife and mother of two kids, 3 and 6 years old. We live in a small town in the Adirondack Mountains in upstate NY. It is very beautiful and scenic! From the age of about 7 or 8 I dabbled in the hand crafts….knitting, crochet, needlepoint, cross stitch. I was always wanting to create something with my hands. No one in my family is crafty, so when I wanted to learn to sew, I had no one to teach me. When I was about 32 years old, I went to a local quilting store, and the only class they had available was appliqué. Even though my experience in sewing was limited to sewing on buttons, I caught right on and I loved it! It was a God send, because with my job as a flight attendant we had a lot of down time in hotels and airports and I think having quilting projects with me really saved my sanity. I resigned from American after we got my daughter. I was happy to be home, but so worried about being bored!
I had learned to do machine piecing, and I loved sewing, so I started making things to sell on Etsy. I wanted to make quilts and sell them, but I had a hard time finding simple patterns that I thought were pretty as well. I started making up my own designs and then decided to try to sell my patterns. I started writing out my patterns and selling them, and I found them well received by the quilting community. I began selling my patterns in April of 2010.
I love working with the precut fabrics (although all of my patterns are written for fat quarters as well). They are all color coordinated and you don’t have a lot of left over material when you are done with your quilt top. I have always been very practical, so making patterns to fit the precut fabric has turned out to be my niche. Also because I am a mom of young children, I don’t have a lot of time to make my quilts, so the “quick and easy” patterns are the ones I just love to design. Sometimes I think of myself as a “lazy quilter”. I like to do a nice job, but I don’t want it to be difficult to do a nice job! My patterns are designed to be easy and hopefully low stress!! I try to make my patterns easy to understand and include lots of diagrams. I know there are so many new quilters out there, and I want them to be successful in their efforts to learn how to quilt!
Becoming a quilt pattern designer has been an unexpected path for me, and I am so grateful and happy to be where I am today. I really can not believe I am doing this for a living! Thank you to all the quilters out there who are helping me to grow my business and be successful. Happy sewing!

This was not easy…. I love Cosy nights and Rocky Road. But all her patterns are great!!
My favorite pattern is Lemonade Lollipops! Thanks for the contest.
Lemonade Lollypops!
And actually just the other day I saw a picture of her "Between the Lines" quilt and bookmarked it. Before then I couldn't figure out what to do with jelly rolls!
It's so hard to choose! But I really love Flowers in the Garden!
Gotta love "Better Together"
I love Flowers in the Garden and Life is Like a Box of Chocolates.
There are a lot I liked, but Key to my Heart really caught my attention. I haven't seen one like that before. And hey, it's on sale. Maybe if I don't win, I will have to buy it!
Wow there are a lot of great patterns so having to choose just one is hard.
I think my favorite at this moment is cobblestone path. Thanks for the Chance.
I have to go with "Criss Cross Applesauce" … because seriously. How can you even say that without a smile on your face?!?! Love it!

I love Cozy Nights, but honestly, all her patterns are adorable! Thanks for the chance to win!
I really like Cozy Nights. You are just so creative!!
I love Lemonade Lollypops. I could go for one right now too!
I love how you named your shop! We're in the process of adopting from Korea! I'd say my fave pattern (of the moment!) is "Better Together."
Wow, what a lovely interview! I really enjoyed learning about you Sue and wish you continued success with your pattern biz and precious family! 🙂
Hmmmm….my absolute favorite pattern would be Flowers in the Garden, although Sunday Charmer is giving it great competition. 🙂
Thanks for the fun giveaway too!
I like Dreaming of Diamonds but it was a hard choice to name just one.
I like Rocky Road a lot. Thanks for the chance.
Mary
Absolutely fabulous patterns! So hard to choose a favorite, but right now Cozy Nights is calling to me. Wonderful designs – a talented designer!
I love Grandma Mary's five patch. Actually I like all of her patterns, but Grandma Mary's is my fave!
I love Flowers in the Sunshine and Cozy Nights!
My favorite is Criss Cross Applesauce but she has SO MANY cute patterns.
I love Better Together
I love Cozy Nights and Between the ligns.
Lemonaid Lollypops!! Not only the pattern but they way it showcases the fabric!!
I love the Around the Block pattern.
TEN patterns? Sweet! I especially like the 'Key to My Heart' pattern.
Love the "Sunday Charmer" pattern and am just now finishing up a "Key to My Heart" quilt!
I love Lemonade Lollipops and Cobblestone Path. Definitely going to have to add these to my want list!
I love your quilt patterns! Thanks for sharing how and why you design! Great stuff!
I love Grandma Mary's five patch.
Thank you for such a great insight to you and your patterns. I am one of those new quilters that sound like your patterns would be perfect for. I am off now to check them out.
Better Together, in it's sweet simplicity, is both sentimental and charming. A reminder of early days of a relationship, spending a summer day together.
I like the Lemonade Lollipops one also! It has been a frequent occurance lately that when I am checking the flickr groups, and I stumble upon a picture I like, its always one of Sweet Janes!
My favorite is " Better Together" It is very eye- catching to me
I'm torn between the tumbling nine patch and rocky road. I love them both!
Oh man, there are SO many great ones! As my mood strikes today, I'd say that A Little Bit of Honey is my favorite. Or maybe Flowers in the Sunshine. Or . . . 🙂
I love Better Together and Heaven's Door.
I would have to say "A Little Bit of Honey". And I love that quilt behind her sewing machine in the picture:)
You want me to pick one!!!!! oh my… ummmmm Criss Cross Applesauce… oh maybe Better Together…..or Grandma Mary's Five Patch…ooooo Sunday Charmer.
obviously making a decision is not high on the list of priorities today…
They are all so lovely!
"Better Together." It's so sweet. Loved reading your story.
I love a lot of Sweet Jane's patterns but top choices are Sunday Charm, French Window Panes, Lemonade Lollipop, Crisscross Applesauce and Grandma Mary's Five Patch. I love simple, quick and very little left overs.
I was surprised to find Sue was from my neck of the woods!!! I must live under a rock! I love the tumbling 9-patch.
I'm thinking Lemonaide Lollipops…but at least 4 of those could happen from my stash right now. The patterns…they are speaking to me.
Love the entire "Between the Lines." Color and pattern. So cute! The "Criss Cross Applesauce" is such a cute name. How could you not like that!?!
Great story! I think my favorite pattern would be Dreaming of Diamonds. I like the "on point" look popping from lots of white background.
That was a lovely story, my favorite pattern is Flower Garden.
Would love to have a chance at winning patterns.
hadacres at comcast.net
I am partial to Lemonade Lollipops and I'm puckering up at the thought of it right now. Thanks for the giveaway and good luck everyone!
Great story! Congratulations on your success! I am torn between Lemonade Lollipops and Life is a Box of Chocolates!
Goodness this is hard! The pattern that keeps drawing my eye is Cozy Nights and I like how you picture it in both dark and light colors – great for fairly new quilters.
My favorite is the Cozy Nights Quilt Pattern! 🙂
My favorite Sweet Jane pattern is Rocky Road. Thanks for the giveaway!
Oh! I love her patterns! If I had to pick only one, I'd say "Better Together".
Two thumbs up to you – what an amazing story! 🙂 My favorite? Life is Like a Box of Chocolates! (Although they're all beautiful!) Thanks for the opportunity – wishing you much success in the future!
Great story – love "Rocky Road!"
I love "A Sunday Charmer". I also think it's fantastic that most if not all of her patterns on Fat Quarter Shop are available within an hour as a PDF. I'm somewhat of an impatient quilter. If I see something I want to do, I want to do it NOW! ; )
I love the flowers in the garden pattern.
I like the Between the Lines Pattern. We adopted our now 14 year old daughter from Russia. Her name is Sarah Jane.
My favorite pattern is Janie's Scrap Basket, but it was very hard to make up my mind! There are so many cute — and doeable! — patterns! My fingers are crossed!
I love Criss Cross Applesauce Pattern, Janie's Scrap Basket Quilt Pattern, Key to My Heart Quilt Pattern and the list go on…
I love your story…And as to having a favorite I can't say there are to many of the designs that I like.And I'm am really enjoying your web site. Keep up the good work
I like the Tumbling Nine Patch
Great giveaway! I love the look of Flowers in the Garden especially!
Right now, today, my favorite Sweet Jane's quilt is Grandma Mary's Five Patch. It isnt' easy narrowing it down to ONE favorite!
My wife and I too have an adopted daughter, and will soon adopt another. They are our third and fourth children as we have two biological sons, but put them in order of age and they are boy, girl, boy, girl.
Enjoyed your post today.

Thanks so much for featuring Sue and sharing her story. Just goes to show that you can make your dreams come true if you just try! Love all of her patterns, but I think my most favorite is "Dreaming of Diamonds". I can just see that made up in my favorite '30s reproduction fabrics….yummy! Thanks so much for the give away and the chance to win!
XOXO,
Cyndi
My two favorites would have to be Sunday Charmer and Between the Line 🙂
'Better Together' popped out at me. I will have to download this pattern and make it this weekend–it'll be for my guest bedroom. Perfect!
I love your concept of using precut fabrics. I think Rocky Road is my fav.
My fav is Lemonade Lollypops Quilt Pattern – i love the mix with triangles and squares.

I love the Cobblestone Path, but I can see myself making several of the other patterns too! Love the designs – simple to sew with beautiful results.
Better together is my Favorite, but I also like Dreaming of Diamonds and Rocky Road.
Nice to meet you Sue!
I love Cobblestone Path, and I grew up in the Adirondacks, too!
Do I have to pick just one?! I love Better Together, Lemonade Lollypops and Life is Like a Box of Chocolates!
I like criss cross applesauce!
Thanks 🙂

I really like lots of these patterns, but my favorite is Rocky Road. I'd love to win some patterns. My life is busy with small children and I love the idea of something relatively simple, but still very pretty!
my favourite is lemonade lollypops
I love the Cozy Night quilt pattern. It was close between that and In Between the Lines. Thanks for the giveaway chance!
I love the Sunday Charmer!
Ooh! Thx for introducing these patterns, I had not spotted them before. Too hard to choose just one. I love the simplicity of Better Together and the craziness of Life is like a box of chocolates!
Thx for the giveaway opportunity!
I have been eyeing these quilt patterns for a while! My favorite is Flowers in the Sunshine.
I think better together is my favorite. Heaven's door is also nice. I am kind of liking squares right now.
My favourite is Rocky Road, thanks for the giveaway
I love a little bit of honey! thanks
love them all and thanks for this post. Grandma Marys 5 patch is a favorite.
Great patterns! Would especially love to do the Cobblestone one. Love that they are downloadable as well. No waiting for mail. She understands the addiction to jelly rolls!
Love all the patterns but my favorite is probably Grandma Mary's Five patch. All the designs are gorgeous.
All are great patterns and my favourite is Rocky Road.
Great patterns!
I think my favourite is Better Together!
Today my favorite is Better Together.
Oh it's so hard to pick just one, but the one I keep going back to is Grandma Marys Five Patch……I just love it 🙂
I think my ab favorite design would have to be 'Cobblestone Path'. But so hard to choose.
Wow! So inspiring!
I'm a new quilter myself and I'm ready to jump into a Sweet Jane quilt. After looking at all the designs my favorite is the Between the Lines pattern. Of course that tied with Flowers in the Garden, Market Square and Lemonade Lollipop! I'm way in over my head with this new hobby! 🙂
Janies Scrap Basket is one of my favorite patterns. Thanks for the giveaway.
Lemonade Lollipops is my favorite. They are all good patterns!
So Hard to choose! So many cool patterns, but since I have to pick, I'd pick Heaven's Door. love them all though!
Just what a newish quilter needs! Great patterns!
If I have to choose … Flowers in the Sunshine and Janie's Scrap Basket, though I love several of the others as well.
Thank you for sharing with us. Oh my! how to choose a favorite. Gotta go with Better Together as my current fave.
Wow what beautiful patterns! I have to say that Better Together and Dreaming of Diamonds are my favorite ones. Thanks for sharing and the giveaway 🙂 Would love to try one of your patterns.
Goodness you make these decisions so hard LOL I really like Life is Like a Box of Chocolate (since you made me choose 🙂 )
Cobblestone is one of them but how can one really choose!!
Thanks for sharing your story. I really like your Janie's Scrap Basket pattern. Thanks for the chance.
My favorite is Market Square.
I like "Janie's Scrap Basket" pattern. After reading that you became a quilt designer years after taking the only class offered at a quilt shop (at the time), I think quilt instructors should be aware that there's always a chance for a novice student to become a prolific, talented designer some day!
Love these patterns….but going with Dreaming of Diamonds. Am dreaming of winning too…and hope my dream comes true!!!!
I like the Sunday Charmer, it is really nice!

It was hard to choose, but having to choose only one favorite, I chose Sweet Jane's Better Together pattern. Something about the simplicity but prettiness of the design really pulled at me. Thank you so much for this opportunity for Sweet Jane's patterns … what a treat!
Wow, as others have commented, it's hard to choose, they are all lovely! My favourite at this moment is: "Tumbling Nine Patch".
Thanks for having this draw.

I like your Rocky Road pattern!
I like a little bit of honey and heavens door. Really love the quilt pictured in the bog with the applique.

Thanks,

Thanks for the chance to win
naslyyadid(at)gmail(dot)com
Flowers in the sunshine!
I'm liking Lemonade Lollipops the best!
It was very hard for me to pick my favorite Sweet Jane's pattern. I have narrowed it down to Dreaming of Diamonds and Better Together. Since I have to pick an absolute favorite it is……..Better Together!!!!!!!
I have to say I love way too many of her patterns to begin to list them, but one I saw on her Etsy shop called French Window Panes is my ultimate favorite, then A Little Bit of Honey, then Key to My Heart.
I love the simplicity of them, the straight lines, the symmetry. I just love them!
Wow! It is hard to choose! I think FLowers in the Sunshine would bemy first pick.But several to put on my list…:-)
I just can't choose between Better Together and Cozy Nights. They are both my favorites! I love the look of her patterns. Thanks for the opportunity to win!=)
I can't pick just one favorite….I just found Tumbling Nine Patch and Key to my Heart and I love them both!! I've been wanting to make a quilt from my stash and both of these would be perfect! Thanks so much!
I love the San Francisco Window Boxes pattern! Thanks for the giveaway!!!!
I have already purchased many Sweet Jane's patterns, they are wonderful.
Would like to get "Better Together" next. Love the simplicity of it.
I love the Cozy Nights quilt pattern. It was a diffiicult decision because I liked so many of the patterns in the line.
I love the Angel Staircase and Better Together. Love your story too!
My favorite is Better Together. It is so fitting as my daughter just adopted two children from Ethiopia, and their family is "Better Together"!
Angels Staircase!! What a sweet story!
What a great intro! Thanks, Jollies! My fav pattern is probably Market Square. Thanks!
Dreaming of Diamonds is my favorite. I think it would be lovely done in 30's fabric. Thank you for the drawing ….very generous!
So many great patterns that it is hard to choose. But I vote for Criss Cross Applesauce if I have to chose just one.
Lots of pretty patterns! My fav is the Rocky Road. Thanks!
Love the designs. My favourite is Better Together…the designs looks simple and easy and using precut fabrics is a must these days!!
Better Together really caught my eye.
I really like "Better Together"! It is simple and elegant! Love the colors you chose in the example!
Key To My Heart is my all time favourite. I have made this quilt four times for my four angels that all hold keys to my own heart!
I just love Cris Cross Applesauce pattern. Thanks for the chance to win.
hard to pick just one – really like crisscross applesauce 🙂 thanks for a chance to win – laurie
llsbaskets@comcast.net
what a great story–it's amazing what paths our lives take :). I have used one of your patterns and loved how it used up every scrap of fabric and the end result was just what I was hoping!
Thanks
Karen
It's so hard to choose just one but Cozy Nights is my favourite. Thanks for a lovely giveaway.
Wow – what a great story 🙂 I love the Lemonade Lollypops pattern. So simple but effective!
I love the Grandma Mary's Five Patch
They are all really great fun patterns but i would go with Dancing Diamonds. Thanks!
Cozy Nights because it's appropriate for what quilts are used for–snuggling. However, Keys to my heart is clever. My stash includes several jelly rolls so I could sew both!
I really love Better TOgether but Key to my Heart looks SO cool!
Better Together immediately caught my attention. I have purchase one of her patterns before and love the simplicity.
My favorite is "Better Together". I love the colors.
I like Lemonade Lollipops best because I like pinwheels. I like that your patterns are made for layer cakes or fat quarters. Very nice feature. Kathie L in Allentown
Amazing story and even more amazing patterns. Simple is where it's at for lots of quilters these days and while your patterns may be "simple" Sue they are also simply gorgeous and simply delightful to make. I'm doing Rocky Road right now in bright bold Kaffe Fassett reds instead of the white background and it is a blast. Also love your brand new pattern.
Lemonade Lollipop is my favorite. I think it is a versatile pattern that would look great in traditional or modern fabrics.
I love the simplicity of the patterns. Better Together immediately caught my eye. I have previously bought one of her patterns- Angels Staircase- to show off a large scale print. I would love to try more of her patterns.
My favorite pattern is Market Square 🙂 Thanks for the opportunity to enter your giveaway!
So hard to choose as they are all so lovely but my absolute favorite is Flowers in the Sunshine.
When I saw "Janie's Scrap Basket" pattern, I thought of the bright, plastic pinwheels that my cousins and I had every summer when we were very young in the early '50s. What fun and what wonderful memories! I have to make this quilt and use the "happy, summer colors."
Cheryl in southeast Georgia
I like A Sunday Charmer. Thanks for this great giveaway!
I love the name and the quilt-Criss Cross Applesauce. Then Better Together is also a favorite-so many cute ones to choose from.
esterling9 at aol dot com
I love cozy nights.
I like Heaven's Door. Your family is beautiful! gougeonathome@charter.net
You are sooooo talented! LOVE BETTER TOGETHER! LOVE it!
My favorite pattern is Criss Cross Applesauce, love all the patterns and a great interview.
I really like Better Together, but others come very close too, it's so hard to pick!
Dreaming of Diamonds is one I would just love to make! I picture it done in 30's prints. Just love it. If I don't win it I will have to purchase it.
My favorite right now is key to my heart. I love working with jelly rolls and I like finished quilts that look like they were complicated but are actually really easy to make haha.
Kristy
very nice interview. I love the Key to my Heart quilt pattern.
I've been thinking of doing Rocky Road for awhile, but am also newly liking Better Together!
It is really hard to choose a favorite when they are all so delightful..but Market Square seemed to catch my eye a little faster than others.. I will pick that one.. I think.. yes.. I will stick with that.. aaaaaaaaahh
My most favorite and absolutely can't live without is Sweet Jane's Around the Block Quilt Pattern. It's absolutely beautiful.
Thanks for the chance.
I like Lemonade Lollipops!
Between the Lines is my favorite!
Thanks 🙂
It was hard to pick just one but I have singled out your Cozy Nights Quilt Pattern.
Rita E in AZ
I like Better Together – I like anything where the block doesn't jump out at you. Thanks for the giveaway!
I think the Simply Stripey is my favorite, What a great stash buster. I love reading about how people git their start!
Beautiful quilt patterns. Lemonade lollipops is my favorite. It was hard to pick just one.
Between the Lines is my absolute favorite.
Lemonade Lollipops is my favorite Sweet Jane pattern. Interesting interview. Thanks!
I really love the "Better Together" quilt. So simple against the white background. Reminds me of my grandmother for some reason!
I really like Flowers in the Sunshine… I'm looking for a baby quilt pattern and this could be it 🙂
I,too, was a "late bloomer" when it came to quilter and, with four boys, love quick and easy patterns. Yours are beautiful. Love the story as well. Thanks for sharing with us!
So many great patterns. My favorite is Keys to My Heart. It would be an excellent pattern for a man's quilt, which isn't as easy to find as more feminine quilt patterns.

Mine is "Market Square"! But I think all of them look great!

I love Better Together and Simply Strippy!
I must say I luv all Sweet Jane patterns. My niece was visiting from Canada last weekend and she was working on 'Heaven's Door'. It was beautiful and I'd say it is a favorite along with Angels Staircase. Thanks for sharing your story and the chance to win some Sweet Jane patterns.
I like the Better Together pattern best. Such fresh takes on these patterns, simple yet trendy.
My favorite pattern is flowers in the garden and Lemonade Lollypops!
My favorite is definitely Dreaming of Diamonds!
I have my fingers crossed.
It is a hard choice just to pick one, but Simply Strippy pattern is wonderful as are all your patterns. I appreciate your information for using different precuts and including multiple sizes.
