I have been meaning to tell you that Jenaveve has hit the shop!!! Yeah, we have it in the store ready to go to a good home....I also finished up a small pattern booklet to go with the fabric. We are trying to keep as much local as we can and support our community and I have to say it paid off our printer did such a great job on the booklet! Very exciting.....
Now in the lovely booklet are these projects....
The Anya bag....LOVE this bag my girlfriend Jules has made so many of these for friends it is amazing. Very simple yet gratifying....can't go wrong with a project like that!
Luna Quilt, fun, simple and perfect for a day out and about with the family.
And pillows - you can't have a quilt without good pillows. As I looked at my couch the other day and the pillows have been worn out by the kids I realize I need to make new pillows for the couch. With little kids I have decided that you can't just make pillows out of the quilting weight cotton you have to have something more durable. The next set to hit the Kennedy couch will be out of cotton linen or home decorator weight goods. Nothing like a sturdy pillow for a good pillow fight.....
I thought that I would also show you the swatches of Jenaveve to tempt you.....
There you go my friends!! I want to spend some time making something for myself but I know my sample yardage for Wrenly is going to arrive shortly and my studio needs a cleaning. Studio cleaning seems to be normal in my world....I get so busy I can't seem to keep it clean. I have decided that I am going to totally re-arrange the studio and DEEP clean.....hope to get some help on the best way to re-arrange from Miss Carolyn. She has such a good eye and I know she will be able to help me come up with a more efficient set up. So many things to do and so little time.....
Happy Day!!!
XOXO

Jenaveve is beautiful, Valori! I'll have to pop out to the store in the next week to get an up-close look. I suspect some of it will come home with me. :-) Wonderful work, as always!

All I can say is WOW! I am especially drawn to the vertical leaf prints! The photos are so wonderful also!

I just got a bunch of Jenaveve a couple of weeks ago and I'm really excited about it! I'm hoping to make a skirt or dress from the gardenfresh pattern with the birds. I can't wait to get the booklet, I need tips for working with linen. Best of luck on the studio organizing! Cheers - Kae

I love it! I can't wait to check and see if some local stores are carry it and if not I'll certainly order some online. Very nice work once again.

Valori - I wanted to tell you how stunning and gorgeous your fabrics are! I am a beginning sewist and am so inspired by the patterns and colors in your line (I made my first project with Tribal Floral in Merlot). I never knew fabric could be so beautiful, or that sewing would be so much fun! Thanks for getting me hooked :)
