Boy Oh boy!!!

The days are going by so fast, I think that what happens as you get older. Well, I must be really old, because I can't slow down the days before market and I'm freaking out trying to finish everything!! I'm so close to done that I can taste it. My excitement is growing too. Today, I'm binding the last of the new Skinnies line. What wonderful adventure this is going to be. Even with all the craziness to get ready, I can't wait for it all to start. I hope you all have a fabulous weekend and enjoy the beautiful spring weather we are having.

Justing teasing you.

Here's another to dream about. This quilt is called "Jubilee" and I just adore it. I did something fun to the borders and of course I appliqued on it too. The applique does have an interesting twist to it. Ooooooo, just wait til you see the whole thing. It's hard having to wait to release these new patterns! I just can't wait until Quilt Market! But patience is a virtue, so I'll try to be patient. Have a great day. Remember Life is a blessing, do something nice for someone today.

Here's another peek...

OK, for all you snowman fanatics, this one is for you. Finally done and ready to go, this quilt was a couple of years in the making. No, it didn't actually take that long to make only a couple of days. But the drawings and final draft took that long. I'm very pleased with the finished product. Brandy out did herself on the quilting!! I can't wait to show the full quilt. Only 29 days to go... Until then, I'm sewing, binding, printing and folding. Have a fabulous weekend!! Life is good

Sneak Peek...

OK, here's the first "Sneak Peek" before Quilt Market in May to tease you. Makes you wonder what the rest of the quilt looks like, huh?? This is one of 7 patterns being released. I haven't come up with a name yet, my mind is to crazy right now. I just love the colors and the quilting is just wonderful. I will post another "Sneak Peek" in a couple of days. Happy sewing!!

Only 38 days!!!!

Until market, I'm frantically sewing and trying to get done. I did 5 new Skinnies today and I hope to have the other 7 done by Saturday. I'm getting nervous and excited, but oh wow there is a ton to do and think about. So sorry that my blogging has been off of late. Time is flying. So keep posted for more updates and sneak peeks on the newest being released at market. Until next time. smile, life is good even if it is crazy:)

Isn't it Lovely...

Wow! This is the Kaleidoscope pattern done in the fabric line "Lovely" by Moda. Karlene Riggs pieced it and Brandy Mascher quilted it. Great job ladies, it's just beautiful. How fun it is to see how the quilts look so different when using different fabrics and color ways. I love it. Thanks for sharing with us!!

Shopping for fabric

I've been shopping and having a ball finding all sorts of fun fabrics to use in my new year of Skinnies. I had my youngest son with me and we went all over. He is such a trooper. We even had a picnic in the park in between shops. Oh what fun it is to go shopping to all different quilt shops. I found some great pieces and can't wait to get started on them. So, with that I better get busy. I hope your week goes well. Just remember life is good, smile at someone today.

All Dolled Up In Salt Lake City

What is this you ask?? Well, it's "THE" event at the International Quilt Market in SLC this year. This is where more then 30 of the Utah designers get to have some fun.
All Dolled Up in SLC is going to be a great way for store owners to meet us Utah designers and enter to win way cool prizes.
This event is a Booth Hop. You go to each participating booth and get a stamp from the designer. Then after you get your stamp card full, you drop it in the box, you are entered to win some fabulous prizes, such as: patterns, quilts, fabrics etc.


The other fun part of this whole event is of course a Quilt. Not just any quilt, it is a quilt designed by over 30 fabulous designers. Each designer was asked to make a paper doll block that represented her in a way. All those blocks are going to be put together into 2 awesome quilts. The fabrics for the quilt blocks was donated by Riley Blake Designs.


Here's my block. Does it look like me, well maybe in a few years. (hahaha). My block represents my dream come true. So here is my "Fairy Godmother". My wish, going to market as a pattern designer. Pretty cool huh?



(just as a note, please ignore the fabric creases. I had my block all folded and ready to mail and then realized that I forgot to take a photo. So, I took it out, snapped a shot and mailed it off. I didn't even think about ironing it. )

Thank you Thimbleweeds!

Thimbleweeds Quilt guild had invited me to be their guest yesterday and show all my quilts to them. It was great and very nice to meet the gals that are in the group. They were awesome with all the "Ohhhs and Ahhhs". I love to go to the different guilds to see all the wonderful quilts they make and the fun stuff they do. They are doing a "Pumpkin Patch" quilt that is going to be just too cute. Thanks Thimbleweeds for the fun morning!!! Thanks to Karlene Riggs for inviting me.

Oh Baby skinnies

It's a Skinnie! Thanks Becky G for the idea of a baby announcement skinnies pattern. I used the "Lily and Will" line from Moda. The size is the same as all the skinnies, 14" x 28". I think they turned out pretty cute. What do you think? Tell me what you want to see in a Skinnies pattern.
