Millie Goes Up North...

                          

It's been so fun to see

 Millie's Closet 

popping up everywhere and a big thanks 

to all of you out there who are sending me 

links and pictures of Millie 

whenever and wherever you see her! 

I wanted to share these pictures 

with you that were sent to me by 

Tammy

Tammy has a quilt shop up north 

(from me) in Canada.

She made a closet in her quilt shop

 for Millie to be displayed in...

what a clever girl! 

Tammy's shop is in Raymond 

and is called

 Sugar Town Quilt Company

When she received the Millie's Closet

 line a few weeks ago...

she went right to work making 

a display for Millie to hang out 

in her cute shop! 

Tammy has been one busy gal...

look at all the adorable 

things that she made!

I am drooling over this chair 

that she picked up for 15 dollars 

at the Salvation Army!

 She promptly recovered it with

 Millie's Closet in the 

red/pink/aqua color way.

Oh my...huge crush.

Do you heart this as much as I do?

It looks so cute and cottage comfy:)

I love that Millie has gone to Canada 

and I love that Tammy showed me 

what she has been up to there!

Thanks Tammy...I think you are amazing:)

Have a quilty kind of day my friends!

A Millie's Closet Sneak Peek...

As you all know...

 I've been playing inside

Millie's Closet 

for the last 6 weeks!

I have about 12 new patterns 

so far using my new line and

 the inspiration just keeps coming...

if only I had more time...haha

I always say that!

I have made several projects

 with the full line together 

(as shown above) 

pink/red/aqua 

And I have made several things in each individual color way as well.

yellow/green/gray

blue/green/gray

The first pattern I can show you is my

 Tulip Tablerunner

 which comes in a kit and 

is now available!

It comes in the yellow green color way ...

And the Tulip Tablerunner also comes 

in the blue/green color way:)

The kit/pattern combo just 

became available this week and

 is shipping to quilt shops

 now as I write...

if you are so inclined...

you can get one for yourself by 

clicking here:)

And here's a little peek for you 

of my spool quilt which will be 

a new pattern also...

I have had plenty of help from my friends 

in preparing for spring market 

and Sherri

 helped me put this one together...

thanks Sherri!...

you're a sweetie:)

I hope you're not tired of 

Millie's Closet yet because 

I have sooo much more to show you 

in future posts!

But until then...

have a quilty weekend my friends!

Millie's Closet Sewing Marathon!......

Yes...I'm still sewing up a storm with

 Millie's Closet 

and let me tell you...

I am chomping at the bit 

just waiting until I can show you

 everything I've been making.

The waiting is killing me!...

It's really put my regular blogging 

schedule out of wack because I have

 nothing to show yet...

but be patient with me girls.

Lots of show and tell will be coming your way...I promise!

In the meantime ...

I can show you a few things that 

are blooming in my 

cottage garden 

right now.

My favorite cherry blossom trees

 in the front yard are so gorgeous!

Each blossom looks like a little rose:)

And we have tulips everywhere....it's rainy today and the colors of each tulip just pop!

The perennials are coming up too 

and soon my garden will be 

full of blossoms in all shapes, 

sizes and colors.

I can't wait...

I really have spring fever!

How about you?

An Afternoon at the Lake...

Hi there!

Did you all have a nice Easter weekend?

I sure hope so...we did:)

The weather has been so beautiful here

 and it happened to be spring break 

for Sterling and Kassidy 

so we decided to spend an afternoon 

at the lake and enjoy the sunshine! 

Of course whenever Mr.Honey is near water... 

it always involves a fishing pole...

 (or 5...haha)

Here's Sterling saying...

"Really mom, we just got here and already

 you have the camera out"

While Sterling gets right to the fishing...

Kassidy lays back and enjoys the sun...

 and blows a few bubbles.

After all...what's Easter weekend without bubbles?...I'm just sayin'. 

She does love to catch fish....

But of course she doesn't like to touch them!

Her dad has to take them off the pole for her:)

Of course...

I'm the person behind the camera...isn't that usually where all mom's are?

I'm kicked back and enjoying the sun 

and a little bit of time

 away from deadlines!

I took a ton of pictures and Sterling 

is at his end with them...

"just let me fish mom"

Family time together at the lake...

that's what it's all about!

A is for Applique...

Hello again cute people!

Today I've been doing a little appliqué....

I'm using several of the Riley Blake

solids 

that go with

 Millie's Closet...

And I'm pairing them up

 with lots of 

 5" squares from Millie's too.

I'm creating yet another new pattern 

that I'll be able to show you 

in a few weeks...
