Fabulous Fabric Friday!

Hi Everyone,

We are giving away this fun bundle of fabric from Artisan by Pat Bravo over on Maureen's blog today. You should head on over and check it out. By the way if you want to know the colors of the solids left to right Turmeric, Dried Carrot, and Cozumel Blue.

Artisan just came in and it is really pretty... can't wait to see all of the fun fall quilts that come out of it... I just happen to know Maureen is working on something extra special with it right now.

Yay! For more sewing... and some gorgeous new fabric.

Hi Everyone,

I have had some super productive weekend days this week... Here is the latest iteration of the Aviatrix Medallion:



It is a little out of my comfort zone I am a lots of white background kinda quilter. I am so enjoying Alison's fabrics though.

Here are most of the blocks for the next border:




They make me so happy!

New in the shop this week:

Dreamin' Vintage by Jeni Baker I am calling it the Happiest Fabric on Earth. You can't help but smile when you look at it.

Then there is NouVelle by Pat Bravo. I think this might be my favorite collection from her... adoring the navy. I am making myself a skirt from the Navy with the light blue falling flowers.

Tell me about your weekend.... did you get to sew?

Talk soon,
Julie

Botanics, True Colors by Heather Bailey, and Rapture

Wow, I feel like I have a lot to say lately :)

Botanics is here. We have all of the prints in stock.  We also have all of the matching Kona colors (we added 11 yesterday) You can order fat quarters or half yards.... we also restocked the text prints in black and navy from Architextures.

Heather Bailey's True Colors matches Lottie Da... gosh I love those tangerines....

If you are in the middle of a winter storm maybe Rapture can warm you up... I adore these Summery colors .

Selfies a day late...

Hi Everyone,

Sorry I am a day late with this... not that you really want to see my face that much anyway. I was super busy yesterday getting some things uploaded to the website. Two Jen Kingwell patterns, three Green Bee (Alexia Abegg) patterns and a new collection called Ahoy Matie that is just about the cutest pirate fabric ever seen, and Northcott is giving the profits to a charity called Quilts For Kids.

Some of these selfies are not my selfies... they belong to Sally but since I was with her.... Sally gained her own hashtag at Market #selfieswithsally she pretty much took a selfie with everyone we met it got to be pretty hilarious by the time we were done. So here goes... anyone that knows me knows I hate to have my picture taken but I decided that I was just going to give up vanity and really... who looks good in a selfie anyway?

First selfie in the parking garage on the way to Schoolhouse:




Selfie with Elizabeth from Don't Call Me Betsy Who was the first person we saw when we got to the convention center... that we knew that is...



 

 Then there is a strange lack of selfies until the next morning when Market started... the first person I had to get a selfie with was Kate Spain we were all fresh and non sweaty at that point I thought it best to hug her before we all got moist LOL



 

Then another with all the girls...


 

Then we wondered over to the Art Gallery ummm I will have to call it a town lots of booths :) and saw Miss JeniB

 

 and Leah Duncan



 

And as we were wondering we found Lizzy House who showed us the SOAK booth and little known to her I had already bought her nail polish collection for the shop... yes, you can have Pearl Bracelet nails in about a week :)

 

 Here we are at the Modern Meet Up with some very familiar faces including Elizabeth again, Jessica Levitt and Angela Walters:

 

And here I am with the super sweet Jenean Morrison. I was carrying my tote bag that I made from her fabric and she had to stop me and tell me that it was her fabric. She is so sweet and humble that she didn't think i would know who she was or how to spell her name. Of course I do because I love her and her fabric!!!!


 

  Last but not least... And honestly this is my favorite ... not because I think it is a great picture but because of what transpired just before we took it. (well that really is a sweet pic of Pat)


 

I got the sweetest and most heartfelt advice from Pat Bravo. She took a tiny spare moment (trust me she didn't have many of those) took me aside and gave me personal business advice. What a kind and wonderful woman. If you ever get the chance to meet her you must! 

Okay that is enough photos to last me a lifetime. And it is late! Gotta get to work!

Rock and Romance is here...

Woot Woot

Summerlove ...

Happy Monday!

Hi Everyone!

Are you ready to get your work week on? I am... I am kind of hoping things calm down the tiniest bit now thtat the stress of opening the web shop is under my belt. We had a couple hiccups but I think they are mostly resolved... still have the 15 item limit but I am sure the website host is working on it.

I actually got to sit down and do some hand quilting for a little while this weekend. I finished my Pillow Talk pillow,  and of course it rained so I couldn't get any great pictures.

I kinda love it. I hope my partner does too.

Summerlove from Art Gallery should be here tomorrow. They sent out a promo email with some awesome eye candy in it. As usual the pictures up until now have not done this fabric justice it is gorgeous! 

Here is a Sneaky Peek! (it is okay they let us use their pictures)

I am so in love with it... what do you think? 

One of the great things about the new website is I can do sales on a whim. It doesn't take hours to change the price on every fabric in a collection like it does on etsy... so expect more fun sales to pop up... they mght only last an hour or two or a day or maybe a week...

Have a wonderful Monday! Spread a little Sunshine to your world!

I did it!! The shop is open! This week's giveaway!
