I love the magazine...
The launch of the magazine
a few years ago...
was of course inspired by the
many creative women just like
you and I!!
Each issue features
several creative women
in their studios...
filled to the brim with
lovely and inspiring photos
along with interesting articles
about each woman
and the inspiration
behind their creativity.
Every time a new issue comes out...
I just can't wait to get my hands
on it and find a nice quiet,
cozy spot to curl up
and devour each and every page
full of eye candy....
which brings me to the reason
for this post.
Just look at this teaser page photo
below from this
does anything look familiar to you?
That's right!!!
You can see what I'm talking about if
you are familiar with
Riley Blake Designs
and/or
my first fabric line Sew Cherry.
I'm so excited about the whole thing!
This is just one of many photos
in an article featuring
a few of the fabric lines
produced by Riley Blake and they chose 3 of my fabric lines to be in the article.
Sew Cherry (on the page you see)...
Daisy Cottage and Millies Closet
are in the rest of the pages.
Look at Cindy and Jina in the top photo...aren't they so cute!
I love working with them.
They are so sweet and fun.
Cindy is the owner of Riley Blake Designs
and Jina is head of the fabric division.
On page 104 you can find the article that Cindy has written called
"The Business of the Studio"
In the article she talks a little
about the process of fabric design.
The photography for the article took place
at Riley Blake Studios in Alpine, Utah.
A few months ago Cindy and Jina called me
and asked me if I would bring in
some of my sketches from Sew Cherry,
Daisy Cottage and Millie's Closet
for the photo shoot.
I said "Of course!"
You can see a few of my sketches
in black ...
other sketches are on the other pages
that you will see in the magazine!
They also asked me to bring along
vintage pieces from my home
that I thought would work
in the photos alongside my fabric.
I brought in alot of things
that you will see throughout the photos...
the gingham apron,
rolling pin,
cookbook and vintage canister
in the article are from my kitchen.
The rest of the article shows many other sketches and vintage pieces from my cottage.
(photo from one of my Vintage Monday posts)
You may have seen some of them
on my posts called
"Vintage Monday"
which I will be doing more of soon
because of many requests!
The article in the magazine is the first
of many that Cindy will be writing
this year for Where Women Create.
All of them will be about
fabric design at Riley Blake.
There will be a lot for her to
write about...Riley Blake Designs
is a great company and they always
have something fun going on.
Like for instance,
every Friday on
"Cutting Corners"
they have a tutorial on a pincushion!
This is a recent tutorial by
made with my
Daisy Cottage fabric.
to go to the tutorial.
I will be designing a new pincushion
and doing a tutorial for
Cutting Corners
in July.
I'm sew happy to be a part of the
Riley Blake team.
If you haven't checked them out lately...
to go to their site and see all the fun stuff!
You can pick up the latest issue of
Where Women Create
at most magazine stands like
Barnes and Noble or even at JoAnn's
but if you'd like to subscribe...
and they will hook you up!
It's such a thrill to see three of my fabric lines in one of my very favorite magazines...so I just had to share it with you!
Have a quilty kind of day my friends:)
