Just a quick post to let you know about 
the workshop/rereat that
 I will be teaching at

and how it came to be along with 
teaching two of my new patterns:

 in the beautiful Logan Valley...

As you know...
I absolutely adore Kris and

teaching there again...






It was sew much fun last time I did a workshop there and now to add to the fun...
 they have a beautiful 
new space above the shop 
where I will be teaching called 
"My Girlfriends Attic"!




These are just a few of the 
fun vintagey things in the attic...

I love it and I can't wait 
to spend some time up there
 sewing with friends:)

any other questions you may have.

I hope to see you there

I'm Back!!!!...



Wow!...I have really missed you guys and now that Spring Quilt Market is over where I showed Millie's Closet...I can get back to my regular schedule of posting.
I have a lot of things to show you and will be able to as soon as my patterns are ready... soon.


blue/green color way

In the meantime...
I wanted to tell you a little bit 
about my "designer cloth" prints...
aka cheater cloth.

I have used the fabric straight
 from the bolt on several projects 
and that's been really fun...
but I also cut it up into squares 
to use individually on several projects.

Each square measures 
a little larger than 5 1/2"...
making them perfect to use
 as you normally would a charm square.





red/aqua/pink color way

Here are close up pics of each one showing a few of the squares...
but there are 20 different prints
 (from the bolts)
 in each color way...



yellow/green color way

So it has really provided me
 with a good variety of prints
 to work with in my new patterns and 
it's been sew fun!




I made a little project using
 2 1/2" squares...
a few from the bolt and the rest from
 the designer cloth.





The project also included 
my new lt. gray solid
 and red perle cotton.
I'm planning on doing a tutorial
 on this little project...
just wondering if you are interested?
