Where Women Create...

I love the magazine...

"Where Women Create"

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 

months issue Spring 2012

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

 Andy Knowlton

 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.
