More new clothes for Quilt Market

Hey Everyone,

The truth is I am always too hot at the convention center. So sleeveless tops work best for me... since I designed this blouse for summer  it is pretty much all I have been wearing... I made 5 versions in rayon  and voile and have been wearing them every day. It is comfortable and cute and all I want to wear anymore. I decided why not make a couple new ones for Market?

This is the Pretty Potent Rayon Version (my new favorite)

I have had the fabric cut for this next one since the week it came in and I finally did it... the Emmy Grace Voile version

I rediscovered my rolled hem foot and used it for these two blouses. I love the effect on the light fabric. It also made hemming the slinky voile so much easier. IF I had a choice I would wear that FreeSpirit Rayon every day and I have to say that I have made 5 blouses with voile in the last 4 months but this is the first one with Art Gallery voile (just coincidence) it is my favorite of all of the Voiles that I have used. It is much more drapey and comfortable to wear that the others I have used to this point.

On to work...

Fabric Avalanche Friday

Hey Everyone,

We got a ton of fabric in this week.

I am so in love with this new collection from Heather Bailey called Up Parasol:

Here are some individual pictures:

Then we got Bari J's new one from Art Gallery called Emmy Grace:

The little girls fishing with the Fawns looking on is my fave...

We also got some of the knits but they are gone already... they will be back in a week or so.

And we got this super fun Christmas Collection called Joyful Holiday frpm Kathy Davis. The little Earth with the houses and trees reminds me of that old Coke commercial "I'd like to teach the world to sing..."

see what I mean?

 

We got some Parson Grey Empire too... in lovely shades of gray and cream

 

So we have lots of pretties to look at this weekend... hope you are staying cool but not too cool...weird weather huh?
