Sewing, Sewing, Sewing...

If you follow more than one quilt/fabric designer's blog, you are probably aware that many of us currently find ourselves in the undertow of preparations for International Quilt Market, a trade show which will be held in Houston at the end of October. For the past couple of weeks, I have been sewing, sewing, sewing some more, and writing/tweaking/correcting patterns. Here is a peek at some projects that are underway, featuring my fabric line Sewing Room Social for Henry Glass Fabrics (available in shops and online in October):
The above is a border I am working on.

I know this doesn't look like much in the photo, but it will be sweet and simple, and done in 2 colorways, perfect for a little boy or little girl.
I did the above applique for a quilt, and I liked it so much I am doing another one for use in a companion project. It came out prettier than I'd hoped!


Maddie has been "helping" in the studio- which I really appreciate because I really do love having all of my fabric and projects covered with globs of black fur. Makes it all so much more interesting. These are pretty good photos of her- usually, because she is so dark, in photos she just comes out looking like a big black blob. At least in these she actually looks like a cat.

And if anyone has recently contacted me, and I have not responded in a timely manner, I do apologize. It's just that I have been sucked under lately, drowning in fabric (not a bad way to go, I guess.) I hope to come up for air soon....

Have a great weekend.

  5. I love your kitty! She is so pretty. I also love your projects. I want to learn so much but I guess I need to sew before I can learn, right? Thanks for visiting me. As you could see I am in a cleaning mood. I am so over "stuff". I should be through with the downstairs tomorrow or Tues. I am so excited. The yard sale helped get rid of a lot.
