This little Happy Halloween banner is made by Martha Stewart and it is sold at Michael's! I was lucky enough to get it from my sweet friend Cindy. It was already sold out at Michael's when I found out about it. Darn no trick or treaters again . . . . we stocked up on delicious candy since several little people moved into our neighborhood this year but even with all our lights blazing we didn't get to see any little ghosts or goblins!
Pat Sloan stopped to visit at market and finally I thought to have someone take a photo of us to share with you . . . too bad I waited until the last day to think of that! I got to see so many darling friends at market - I will take photos of all of them in Portland at Spring Market!
Color Inc does my photography and prints the covers . . . they are the very BEST! Lucky for me they are right here in the Phoenix area but they can help with photography, design and printing even if you don't live here.
Here is a link to the ebay auction for my little quilt . . . I almost missed it. I am happy to say there are a few bids on it - there were so many beautiful quilts donated not every quilt has found a home.
Here is another one of the new pattern covers - there is a coin purse, a make-up bag, small notebook cover, tissue case, eyeglass case, checkbook cover and a key fob. They were quick & fun to make. Thank you Edina and Dawn for your kind comments on the "Carry It All Tote" I really appreciate your thoughts. Quilt Market in Houston starts two weeks from tomorrow - oh my goodness so much work to get done - can't wait to see friends like Julie!
This is one of the new patterns that will be available at the end of the month. The other new titles are In My Bag, Posy & A Tisket A Tasket. In the next few days I will post the other new covers. Writing the directions is the next step - it is tedious at best and probably my least favorite part. 
This little wallhanging was a kit from Plain Jane's Quilt Shop in San Antonio, TX. Not sure if they still have this pattern/kit but they have a website and an ebay store with lots of primitive treasures. It still isn't quilted or even finished (see the thread on the bottom left side) - maybe I will try to work on it a little bit then put it back on the wall.
If you are still reading after my lengthy absence - thank you for stopping by . . . and thank you to those of you who have left comments - I really appreciate them. I LOVE knowing that you are reading my blog!
In August here in AZ any rational quiltmaker would be sitting at her sewing machine piecing a quilt in air conditioned comfort but this horse riding has turned me into a crazy person - out in the 110 degree temperatures . . . but having soooo much fun! Giddy Up!
I made this little "easy link" bracelet a few days ago while I was contemplating my new pattern designs. It is ready to add some charms - some more jewelry play . . . perhaps I am my own worst enemy - venturing off to play with every possible distraction! Fall Quilt Market is only 8 1/2 weeks away and even though there IS a plan - actual progress is less than a snail's pace! It has been sooooo hot here lately that an afternoon siesta is quite inviting though I have resisted MOST of the time. Hoping to post a little peek at some blocks soon for one of the two new quilts. The strips are cut and ready for the EZ Angle ruler to slice them into half square triangles - ready, set, SEW!
