Your Comments Were Wonderful

Thank you for all of you wonderful comments. I've decided to include the case, just not as a diaper & wipes case. Thank you to everyone. Julia of Serendipity is our winner - after checking out your blog and found you have 10 children, I love you. My sister has 10 children and I know it isn't an easy task..I have 3 children and it isn't an easy task. I tell my sister all the time. Her ticket in heaven is sealed she is a saint for having that many children. You too! p.s. I love the runner on your blog. It's beautiful. I couldn't just have one winner Mary on Lake Pulask of Minnesota is a winner also. Thank you for your comments! I will be printing this pattern the end of the week, so please email me your shipping info. and will get yours mailed out first. Thanks again!

Please Forgive Me!

I have been a terrible host! I'm so sorry, LIFE has taken me by the pants and it's taken me a while to get grounded, okay I'm not grounded, I've decided I may never be. I fly by the seat of my pants, I'm disorganized and things are NEVER going to be the way I want them to be. So like Joe says (my buddy Meldas husband) suck it up and move on!

I will try and be better. I've been working my little tail off. We got the shop moved and are settling in. Marabella will be in soon! I loooooooooooooooooove it! It has been so exciting sewing with my own fabric, I can't even tell you. Here is what's just about off the press.

My Favorite Bag. It's huge! It measures well, let me go measure it. Be right back..................................... okay it measures 15 1/2" tall x 16" wide and 5" deep. It's a great everything bag. I have a diaper wipes case that I'm debating adding to the pattern, so let me know what you think. The person that gives me the very best answer will be the first to have one of My Favorite Bag Patterns.

Marabella

This is Marabella!

I am so excited to be showing this at Market! It will be available at a quilt shop near you in February!

Most of you may know that I lost my beloved mother several years ago of thyroid cancer. She was and always will be an inspiration in my life. While I was drawing Marabella, my sister gave me a box of my mother old paintings and doodlings. I was so excited. I took one of her drawings and added a little twist! Can you guess which one was my mothers? Those of you who already know (close friends and family) don't guess!

Love you Mom, wish you were here!

My Surrogate Twitterer!

I'll be on a red eye to Houston in the morning. You all know it's my favorite thing to do. My hands start to sweat just thinking about it!
My friend Tiffany from the tiny seam stress will be updating you on what I'm doing. She is going to be my twitter, since I don't know how to twitter. You will have to go to her blog and check it out. Go to Tiffany's blog. This is going to be fun. I will be posting my fabric swatches tomorrow night! Hope you like them.
