Lot's O' Fun In The Works

Hi Everyone,

Look what I got in the mail yesterday:

A little preview of Outfoxed by Lizzy House and Meet The Gang by Creative Thursday. This came with a letter. It seems the location where Andover has their fabrics bolted was wiped out by Irene along with a bunch of fabric. So Andover shipments will be a bit late arriving. We shall say a prayer for those affected and keep them in our thoughts.


As I mentioned yesteday. I met with my Moda rep, Angela, love that girl. She and her boss brought me a fun little treat bag including some candy that my daughter enjoyed a whole bunch (okay I ate 2 of the jack-o-lantern peeps) and these adorable napkins. So funny:

The small print: on the Owlixer: Take as often as needed. Spike: You only live once. Venom: Serve to your enemies straight from the bottle. Death becomes her: Live Fast Die Pretty. Totally cracks me up!

Of course they were here to show me new fund stuff... here is a tiny taste of what I bought:

Top row: Good Fortune by Kate Spain. Second Row: A Stitch in Color by Malka Dubrawsky. Third Row: Pezzy Prints by American Jane. Twew wuv!  These will all be out in January.

For those of you that have been begging me to get solids I also bought just a few Moda Bella Solids in basic colors. Let me know if you have any requests and I will get what you need.

That is all for today I have a ton of work to do so I better get to it.

Oh... did I mention Little Apples yet today? It is here ... look at this yummy goodness:

Little Apples Has Arrived!

Yardage and half yards are up now ... bundles coming in a little while up now as well.

Update... uh oh... already sold out half of the red round round... maybe I didn't buy enough ... eep!

I love all of your encouraging comments you are the best group on the net. By the way stay tuned lots of super fun stuff coming in the next month or two :)

I got a package from The Quilted Fish yesterday her new fabric line Delighted is shipping and she sent me my play fabric,. I got a FQ bundle of Delighted so I took a picture of it:

Then I tore into it and started ironing...

Then I laid it out lovingly....Le Sigh! So pretty!

The yardage for the shop will be here on Tuesday! I can't wait... I am literally bouncing up and down with excitement.

Little Apples will me here this week as well.... and a little birdie told me that Terrain is not far behind. Oh the joy!

In the shop this weekend... I just marked 1001 Peeps and Wrenly down to $6.99 a yard just a few yards left of each and I need the shelf space. I also marked Prince Charming, Alphabet Soup and Hoo's In The Forest down to 50% off... getting low on those but they just need to clear out as well. So much new stuff coming this week that I won't have room for otherwise.

Talk Soon!

Sixth Prize and A Bunch Of Other Stuff

Hi Everyone,

Here is the sixth prize for one of the three packages for the 300th post giveaway... I bet you know what's coming:

A fat eighth bundle of the Sapphire Colorway of Heirloom... yes I know that was predictable but I think you all don't mind so much.

Here is another in progress picture of my Habitat Challenge quilt:

It is getting funner (yes, I said funner) :)

Here is a sneak peek of the bag I am making as a tutorial for the next Newsletter:

Well, okay, it is only the pocket but still....

I have had a bunch of clients and friends send me pictures of things they have been making out of the fabrics they have received from me so I thought I would show you...

Caren won a charm pack of Terrain from me. She made this adorable Peacock:

Why not hop over to her blog and tell her cute you think it is?

Helen (don't know if she has a blog) made these adorable dresses with Pernilla's Journey she says she can't keep them in the shop they are gone in minutes....

My friend Melissa in Australia bought the entire line of Wrenly and Pernilla's Journey and has been making children's dresses with them for craft markets:

You can go check out the rest of them on her blog

In Shop news... Delighted and Little Apples are on their way... woot! Should have them both by the middle to end of next week if not sooner. I love this picture of Delighted from Amanda.

You all should go over and like Amanda on Facebook she has been doing some really fun stuff (giveaways) that you don't want to miss out on.

So how's that for some eye candy people? It is a very good day :)

Sneak Peeks and Other Random Stuff

Hi Everyone!

Sorry for being so quiet this week. It is a bad idea to take 2 days off when you work for yourself you end up making up for it for a week :)

This is a sneak peek of a Little Apples Tutorial that Brooke is working on for the Newsletter. Precious!

And here are a couple pictures of a Taza project she is working up for you too.

Dang that girl is prolific!

All of my testing Guinea Pigs you should have an email in your box from me about the site. Scary but exciting!

I hit 500 followers while I was away this weekend and I will be hitting my 300th post in the next week or so. You know around here that can only mean one thing.... PARTY (with lots of goody bags) stay tuned for that.

Now it is time to get out of my jammies and get started on the day.

Talk soon!
