207: product of integrity, endorsed

Hey!

Won't you join me as  I continue the show and tell of the Memorial Day weekend  yard sale haul?

I love these old-timey prints. Reproductions, but still.

Smooth inside.

Some bits:

Coats and Clark  is the parent company of Westminster Fibers (which produces the Free Spirit line that I design for.)

One of my favorite things, faux patchwork:

And check this out, faux puffy quilting!:

The colors didn't come out accurately, but this one really makes my heart flip flop:

The orange is much more brilliant in real life, and the chocolate is dark, not milk.

Prepare to be jealous:

I know!

This week, I sent off my second strike offs of Sugar Snap! We are now in production, baby!

I just ordered the newest version of the design program I use, Adobe Illustrator. Yay! Now I can work on the laptop!  I am psyched to get started on my next fabric lines. I tend to work on a bunch of stuff at once, then let it shake down into something cohesive. That's a fancy way of saying that I never have a plan.

Ok, kids.
Time for me to hop in the shower and get ready for my day job.  I love starting my day with you like this!

I hope you have an awesome day.

xo, m

I was unaware that a plan was necessary for much of anything. I'm a fly by the seat of my pants girl, myself. LOL

I am trying sohard not to like you .... where do you find such lucious fabrics?? But then if I were to come upon such wonderful finds I would be unlikely to put them to such good use! Hey Ho ...I'll just live vicariously through you and your fab patchworks.
