I have had these shoes running around in my mind for the longest time! Finally, Angie helped me make a darling pattern so I could applique them onto a quilt.
Watch for a free download pattern on the website! I love this argyle fabric on the shoes!
I wish I could make a pair to wear!

It’s here! I am sew excited to have my hands on these fabrics. Tons of ideas for projects to sew on my new machine! It’s so nice to see it on a bolt after working with strike-offs, you just can’t wait to see what it’s going to look like and feel like at the final stages!
Look at all the pretty colors! They are delicious!
We love these beautiful fabrics! Thank you so much Benartex!

There are all kinds of joy in life, joy of motherhood, joy of first love, joy of friendship. But there is another joy, Bernina Joy.
The wonderful delight of working on a machine that sews effortlessly! I have been getting to know my new machine and have been testing it quite thoroughly. I can’t say enough how much I love my new Aurora 440!

One of the many wonderful things about going to Quilt Market is having women tell me about the project they are working on. Connie Huddleston of The Little Wool Shoppe brought a project she was working on with her to show me.
She was working on the Baby Jacket pattern and made it from an old quilt, some beautiful hankies and embroidered them.
Her project was not complete, but the work is lovely! So happy to see all the talent! Thanks for sharing, Connie!

Finally getting a chance to post some photos and news from Spring Market! First and foremost, I have to thank the staff at Benartex Fabrics for the hard work and detail that went into what I can only say is a delightful, line of fabrics to create with!
I had the privilege of meeting Nicah and Paula, Melissa while setting up our booth. Very helpful!
David Lochner, the president at Benartex Fabrics was thoughtful and brought the gentlemen that make our fabrics in Korea to the booth for Stephanie and I to meet. It was very humbling and touching. They had their picture taken in the booth with David and me, and where was my camera so I could get a photo?
Our fabrics and patterns displayed so nicely together, the little owl family melted hearts! The owl pattern will be available soon!
The Little Flower Pocket Top and purse received a wonderful response. Miss Ava (my grandgirl) was the star on the new pattern cover. The World Map fabric was popular, it’s a favorite.
Our booth was backed up to Benartex, and they did a fabulous job displaying Baby Business and In the Nest fabrics made up in beautiful quilts and layette pieces placed in a white crib and vignette. We had lots of traffic back and forth and were introduced to wonderful distributors and shop owners that will be carrying our fabrics and patterns!
And speaking of wonderful neighbors! How fun it was to be next to Laurie Harsh, her son Brian, good natured Barry, sweet Sarah and Megan. We so enjoyed the wonderful and informative FabShop dinner, what a view from the 50th floor ! We loved staying at the Marquette Hilton hotel! Fab Shop group is sharp, has all the tips, news and ideas shop owners need. So grateful for their generous help!
