Marcel meet Rudy
There I was taking photos of Rudy, my latest Petite pattern. Rudy’s getting ready for market, and a few friends joined him… Poor Rudy, it’s getting a bit crowded around here… But there’s always room for one more don’t you think? Especially for a black cat named Marcel! Wish I could fit him in my suitcase! Rudy and I are leaving for Houston today and Marcel has to stay home. Poor Marcel! I’m sure he’d be a hit at market. Hugs, Anne

Packing my suitcase
Thought you might enjoy a peek at what’s going in my suitcase when I leave for Houston this Thursday! I Believe in Snowmen is my newest block of the month, and it’s flying with me to market. With pieced blocks, redwork embroidery and applique combined, this quilt is really fun to make! I’ll be telling you all about it at Quilt Market and sharing some embroidery tips. New things are always so much fun! Back soon with more, Anne

Sign of the Times
For years I’ve collected the back issues of Victoria Magazine, searching eBay for issues, and finally happy to say I think I have them all. Two full shelves dedicated to these magazines, neatly organized in boxes by year. This week as I was flipping through the latest issue of Victoria guess what I saw? You can now buy a set of 2 DVD’s with all the back issues of Victoria. Every single issue and the ability to search by subject, article , name etc. Two full shelves of magazines or 2 little DVD’s? People tell me it’s not the same as flipping through the actual magazine, and then I keep…

Transfer Paper
If you read my newsletter you might have noticed the little pillows I made using my grand-daughter’s drawings. Fortunately she doesn’t follow this blog because these are a Christmas surprise. I used this Transfer Artist Paper to transfer her artwork to fabric. She’s done so many cute drawings it was hard to choose… You can easily transfer images by scanning with an ink jet printer or tracing with a fine point marker. Cut out close to images and iron onto fabric. One little present done. You’ll find the transfer paper on our website. Be sure and check out the “sale” section too. We’re clearing out notions at 50%…
