I feel like I’m finally starting to come out from under my quilt market rock. These last few weeks have felt kind of intense as I put the finishing touches on a bunch of new stuff that I’m about to release.
Here’s a sneak preview.
I’ve been steadily working on a brand new pattern group. This is a group that I’ve been very excited about, and I hope others will be too! I’ve used it as an opportunity to do some different things, including reaching out to and working with a couple other designers who I really admire. I’ve solicited the talents of a mighty fine illustrator as well as another highly skilled pattern designer. It’s been so much fun.
In other–and very recent–news, I just had a minor incident in the sewing room that is turning this afternoon into “computer” time rather than the “sewing” time that was planned. I’m OK, but my left index finger needs to take it easy after taking a direct blow from my machine needle. It happens. I’m just glad that I’ll get by without a trip to the ER, and I didn’t get any blood on what I was working on. Awesome and awesome. Careful with those sewing machines.
And I just got the most lovely treats in the mail from the super talented Jessica Pollak. (a familiar face over at The Printed Bolt)
I’d been lusting after both of these for some time now. What a treat! Both are available in her etsy shop.

Happy Thursday!

Can’t wait to see what you’ve come up with!
Thanks Debbie!
I hope your finger heals quickly! I can’t wait to see what you have in store for us at Quilt Market see you in Portland.
Thanks Petra! I’ll see you soon!
Such an exciting time for you… market and a new pattern line, I mean! Sorry about your index finger incident. I had one of those myself a few years ago. The threaded needle went all the way through my thumb! I had to unthread it before I could pull it out! Yuck. Ironically, I was already on antibiotics for a sinus infection, so it all worked out perfectly. i hope you mend quickly.

Thanks Linda! Ouch on your finger accident! Mine is healing right along. Unfortunately, we all know how it goes. 🙂
