Hello my friends.....first and foremost THANK YOU to all of our service men and women! We are lucky to have you.....
Now, as the end of May arrives and the weather is only 62...I mean really, our spring has been SO cold and icky!! Good thing I have so much to do and I can't really be outside anyway.....
Taking a quick break from drawing to show you the new sewing cards....
This is Betsy...named after the old Cadillac in the photograph. We have this wonderful Wine Bar in Sisters (Cork Cellars - if you ever make it to town) and Betsy is the owners car...Carolyn and I were able to take it out and shot some photos with the ol' girl.....too fun! The quilt is made out of the Wrenly Cotton Voile but the simple design could be used for a variety of fabrics. It is a twin size...I thought it would be a fantastic dorm quilt, easy yet looks so cool!!
Bird's Eye View is a great quilt that utilizes a large print and solids. I used the Wren Gypsy fabric and picked solids to accent the colors in the fabric and used a white so that the background would flow. It looks complicated but the solids and background fabric are put together with a simple formula which takes away all the little piecing of the squares.
This quilt was very popular at market....I was plesently surprised.
Most of you have heard about my Little Wallet pattern....well, this is the big sister, Little Cell Phone Wallet. The design is longer and has a pocket on the back with a snap to put your cell phone in. I also added the option of a strap...which is nice for when you just want to go out with a few things and not your whole purse.
AAHHHH, the sweet Wish Bird....she is a gem. Easy construction with a pocket on the top that you can place a wish. The bird is a great way to start embroidery and play with beads, these accent the bird and make her a one of a kind gift. A more adult stuffed animal for all of us who still love stuffies and want to having something special in our home.
Mina Bag....this is your new favorite bag! SO, easy to construct and the perfect size. I really played with sizing, just big enough for all your stuff but not so big you feel like you are packing a diaper bag. The handles are the perfect length to have the bag on your shoulder but still get your hand in to find you cell phone or keys. I made the one on the cover with home decorator fabric from Wrenly and the accent fabric is my cotton linen, Jenaveve.
There you go....the new sewing cards. I really feel strong about these patterns, they are great projects yet not overly priced....ranging from $4 - $6 retail, can't beat that.
I will show you the new clothing patterns in the works soon......
Have a great day...back to drawing.
XXOO

PS Wrenly should be up on our site for Pre-Sales soon! I will let you know....
When ordering multiple patterns, can shipping costs be reduced, or is it per item?
Thanks,

The Bird's Eye View is so gorgeous, the Wish Bird is also pretty and my favorite would have to be that Mina Bag. Super love the Mina Bag. =)

Those are all beautiful!
I don't suppose you could mention which solids you used in the Birds Eye View quilt?
