Never hire a tabby cat
Never hire a tabby cat. They sleep on the job and don’t get any work done. Trust me on this one… I actually paid him to turn the pages for me. I don’t know what I was thinking! He may look pretty, but those are the eyes of a lazy cat.

It’s the kitty block!
It’s time for the kitty block on the Fat Quarter Shop Snapshots quilt along! “Here kitty kitty” will get you a surprising welcome at my house, so this block is the perfect one for me. Oh wait, that’s the wrong picture! I was going to put this one in later when I told you what kitty inspired my block. Oh well, It’s better you know right up front. This block was inspired by my Moocher’s cat. I know you’re saying “what a name for a cat”, but remember she’s one of a kind. You can read her story here. Moochers was in the studio with me this morning while I was…

Doxie Dog Fever
I’m back from Quilt Market and feel like I have a fever…Doxie Dog Fever! These little dogs were a hit at market. Apparently a lot of you are Doxie lovers. There’s something about those little long bodies and big droopy ears that we all seem to love. Here’s the real life Lulu sleeping on my sweater when I was dog sitting her… Now that she’s inspired a quilt I wonder if it will all go to her head? The Doxie Dog Quilt is traveling back from Quilt Market and I’m working on the pattern now. I’ll have it on the website soon. We’re still taking pre-orders for kits if you’d like one.…

Snow Happy Hearts for May
Hopefully you’re busy stitching away on your Snow Happy Hearts snow lady for May.

We’re still putting the binding on Merci La Vie, and the quilts are yet to be photographed for our pattern fronts, but we’re going to market and that’s what counts! We’ll be closed for the week of May 13th so any orders placed on our website will ship starting Tuesday, May 19th. I apologize in advance for the delay, and I…

Blog takeover: A letter from chelsea and milkshake

Something’s going on around here
Something’s going on around here and no one’s telling me about it. Milkshake and Chelsea keep meeting when I’m not around, and then when I walk in the room they get all hush hush. I tell you those dogs are planning something. Don’t they look guilty as can be? What do they know that I don’t? I’m so busy trying to get everything ready for market, and new patterns written, that I don’t have time to get side-tracked by these dogs! I just have to keep working and pray that they are really good dogs. If I don’t focus I’ll be the only one at market without quilts finished. Too bad I…
