• Bring in the new

    It gets so crazy around here right before market.  You’d think I’d be used to it, but it never ceases to amaze me.  It’s market frenzy time and it takes every minute I have to get ready.  My husband cooks, feeds the pets, shops and takes care of the house, just so I can design quilts and write patterns.  Bless his heart, it’s a routine we automatically fall into.  I couldn’t do it without him. I’ve been sewing with my newest fabric line from Moda called Celebration.  I’ve designed Celebration with 2 colorways;  one for boys and one for girls.  Celebration for boys…     …with elephants in red, blue…

  • This Little Pig Went To Market

    This little pig went to market…Quilt Market of course. Her name is Tiffany and she’ll be boarding the plane for Houston this morning. I hope she got a bit more sleep than I did.  I can’t have a cranky pig at market.  :>) With a curled up tail and a bow around her tummy, she’s ready to meet and greet and she’ll be doing lots of that this weekend.  Tiffany is my newest Petite pattern. My granddaughter Alyssa is the hand model for Tiffany.  Didn’t she do a great job? Hope Miss Tiffany has a smooth flight.  We’ll have a few of her friends for sale at Sample Spree during…
