I mentioned the other day I have not sewn in for.....ever. My iron was unpacked from Quilt Market last week. I know ridiculous. But I feel like a sewing streak is upon us, and first things first. I had cut up a bunch of Tussie Mussie fabric into charm squares(5" x 5") a long time ago. I love a patch-worky quilt and that is what I was after.
Here's how it went....
I started by working on the design wall. There are 27 fabrics in this line so it took some planning to get them scattered just right.
Here's my ironing table with the squares...and my mocha.
After getting them just how I wanted, I started sewing them. This didn't take long at all.
Here's what I got. I will add it to my stack of unfinished quilts. The pile is getting quite large and I am going to have to have a "finish it" weekend if we want to be warm this winter. Luckily I have a few months before it gets cold.
Ta-da!
Now on to my next project to mark off of my wish list.... a ticker tape quilt. Stay tuned.

My visit to Americasmart
Hey Hey! I was at the mart in Atlanta last weekend showing off my new line of bags and jewelry with Caffco. I got to meet lots of great folks and reconnect with some of the great people at Caffco. My friend and fellow designer Dana Wittman snapped these photos for me.
I thought I would share them with you...
Just in case you don't know what the Americasmart is... it;s a ginormous gathering of showrooms. The showrooms take up three city buildings in Atlanta. Store owners come from all of the world to shop and buy things to sell in their stores.
Happy Friday!

Don't you love the cabinet they built for my display? I wouldn't mind taking it home, so creative. It makes me want to build furniture. That is something that has always been on my to-do list....(daydream going on...) Okay, I'm back.
I'm off to finish up a quilt top. I'll show you tomorrow...please come back
Happy Friday!

Crafting and Sewing
Hello, Hello,
Well the sun finally came out and I was able to get some photos snapped. I added a bunch to the Etsy shop yesterday and still hope to add more later in the week. Now that the studios are kind of moved, or at least moved enough for me to work in, I have some time to get to other things.
One of those thing is sewing. I hate to admit this, it's almost embarassing, I just unpacked my iron from Quilt Market! That's kind of ridiculous. My beads are still in a bag that I bought at Bead and Button as well.
But! now they are all unpacked. I am ready to sew and craft. There are about a million different things I want to try in quilting and when I go into my studio I become overwhelmed and confused and usually walk out or start working on something else. Last night I spent the evening going through blogs, website, etc making a bit of a to-do list for quilts. I am going to start sewing this afternoon and I can't wait. I will be sure to take some photos.

Sun Please!
I need sun......it's been raining here pretty much all week. I have a whole bunch of beads to get into the Etsy shop and I can't until I can photograph them. This is how I shoot my beads. Hopefully sometime over this weekend I can squeeze in some pictures. I have some super cute new crafty beads I am really wanting to show you....maybe Monday.
Happy Saturday,
Jennifer

Design Studio Progress
Hey, Hey,
It's been awhile but I wanted to make sure I popped in and showed you the progress on the design studio. If you missed the before shots you can see them here and here in these posts. I am loving the colors and how everything turned out. I still need to add finishing touches but I had to start getting some work done out here! I will be designing fabric line number six in this studio, I am so excited.
I have paintings and other inspiration on the wall. I hope to have more treasures out here soon to inspire me. I am imaging these walls to be filled by the time I am finished.
I made some curtains for the windows...
My paints are ready and I couldn't be more
Talk to you soon!
