Mollie Makes, Jeanne d’ Arc and Redwork Kits

Right in the middle of all the crazy sewing going on in the studio, Mollie Makes issue #13 and Jeanne d’ Arc Living May arrived! There’s always some excitement when that happens but when they both arrive on the same day it’s really hard to get any  work done.

Mollie Makes…

Just look at buttons on the cover of Mollie Makes!  Little red rose buttons that will be the perfect accent for a sewing project.  I don’t know how they think of what to include for cover projects but I sure do love them!

And the little pooches on the cover are so cute. Have any of you tried needlefelting?  I’ve always been a bit intimidated by those barbed needles but I’d forget about barbs for one of those little dogs.

Or, how about crochet and embroidery?  Just look at this granny square pillow made from scraps of yarn!  SCRAPS!  I had no idea I should be saving yarn scraps.  Directions are inside the magazine.

And little Japanese Embroidery patterns too!  Thank you Mollie Makes for another great issue!

Jeanne d’Arc Living May

Then sit back and relax while you skim the pages of  Jeanne d’Arc Living for the elegant side of life.  I’m always inspired by the decorating and gardening ideas and the May issue is delightful.  144 pages of beautiful articles and photos and NO advertising.  How on earth do they do it?

Redwork Raining Cats and Dogs Kit…

And last but not least we finally have a kit for Redwork Raining Cats and Dogs.  I’ve been waiting and waiting for fabric bundles to arrive.  This fabric is sold out at Moda but somehow they came to my rescue.  The bundles arrived this week and we’ve got  kits!  The kit includes everything you need to make the quilt except backing and floss.

Even the pattern is included, but if you have it already let us know and we’ll deduct it from the cost.

You’ll find Mollie, Jeanne and Redwork on my website.

It’s back to work.  Market it just around the corner and we’re still sewing away.  Can’t wait to show you what we’re sewing on!

Sliced…Have you heard about it?

I love watching “Project Runway” and “Project All-stars”.   I don’t always agree with the judges but that’s part of the fun.  I sit here in my studio, comment away on what they say and no one’s the wiser.

 

No one’s the wiser until now.  Along came this new online show from Moda called …

Quilt Blocks for Jeaneane

When Jeaneane finally moves into her new home she’ll take a box of quilt blocks with her that some of you have sent.  Yippee!   Just look at these!   There’s enough here for quilts, table runners, totes and even a framed picture or two to hang in her new home.

Why yesterday a quilt block arrived all the way from France.  It didn’t arrive in time for the photo collage, but it’s in the box, ready to ship to Jeaneane.

Today we put all the names in a bowl, mixed them up and did a drawing.  1 entry for each quilt block.

Ready?  We have 2 winners!

Congratulations to Christa and Malinda!  Christa and Malinda email me or leave a comment and I’ll fix you up with either the lightpad or the bundle of fabric!

Many of you sent fabric and quilting supplies for Jeaneane earlier in the year.  Thank you to each of you too…

…and a group of quilter’s in Davis, California actually got together and sent Jeaneane their own box of treats.  The quilt group is called “The Calendar Girls”!  Thank you Calendar Girls for your thoughtfulness.  You are the best!

Hugs!

Cat naps

  If you make a quilt the cat will find it…

I set the redwork quilt on my desk, walked away for a minute and Mooch took possession.  She was very upset when I made her get off and she protested loudly.  She didn’t care that I had to get it in the mail!  I should know by now that cats rule the house, cat naps are very important and…

 …if you make a quilt the cat will find it.  Every time!

Back soon with blocks for Jeaneane.
