Happy September! I’ve missed you! Ok I know, I’m the one that took the blog break, but I did miss you and blogging regularly. I needed some space to focus on the family this summer and to get my head around some new exciting projects!

Work wise, this summer was all about pushing envelopes: Developing new skills and stretching the boundaries of the ones I already have. In the coming weeks you’ll see some sneak peeks leading up to the reveal of a new concept I’m adding to my sewing pattern line. I’m really excited about it!

These delicious organic cotton prints are on my worktable this week. They are slated for a quilt design that I intend to sell as a pattern. I’m loving this bluesy palette right now with white and a touch of grey. (This is a mix of Cloud 9, Timeless Treasures, and Robert Kaufman fabrics! All organic!)

This fuzzy muzzle belongs to one of many friends I made this summer. Get it? Friends I made? More on them soon. We’re planning a cover photo shoot this week so I’ll be sending them to the “L’Oreal Paris Hair and Make up Room”. (Just a little Project Runway joke). I only work with natural beauties!

More felt fun! As I’ve been working with felt this summer in some new ways, I’ve come up with a long list of tips to share. Everything from the best kind felt, how to prepare it, tricks for cutting, stitching and more. Look for those as a series on the blog this fall.
I’m back! The summer is over, the kids are in school and we are all trying to fall into our new routine. This is always a busy yet productive time of year and I’m looking forward to it! Let ‘er rip!
