Book & Quilts!

Hey ya'll!
Mom and I have been SUPER busy lately preparing for Market this weekend among other things!  First thing is that we just finished our first book!!!  We are working with Annie's Publishing (formerly DRG) on a book titled Sewing Room Accessories-At Home and On the Go!Moda Fabrics, Dear Stella Fabrics and Pellon graciously provided lots of fabrics and interfacing for the projects, we want to thank these fabulous companies for their generosity and support! We had so much fun coming up and working on these projects and we can't wait for ya'll to see them!  It's been really hard keeping it a secret and it felt so good sending the projects off to the publisher! The book is scheduled to be released in May 2013, we will keep you posted about the progress. Here's a sneak peek!

 

We have 3 quilts in 3 different booths this year at Quilt Market in Houston!! We are so excited and can't wait to see them in the booths!  If you're coming to Market this weekend make sure you stop by these awesome booths and check out our quilts!  If you do, make sure you take a photo and put it in my Flickr Group please!!

 

First up, RJR contacted us with their upcoming fabric line called Doodle Zoo coming out in the Spring 2013 and it's being premiered at Market this weekend.  We came up with this cute quilt called Doodle Zoo Train! Patterns and kits will be available in the Spring as well!

 

The amazing quilting is done by Angela Walters!!

 

Second up, Monaluna sent us their new fabric line called Havana and asked us to come up with a quilt using this adorable line!  We came up with this quilt called Havana Blooms and it will be a free PDF pattern on their blog soon!  I will keep ya'll posted when it's available!

 

Again, special thanks to Angela Walters for the AMAZING quilting!! You're the best!

 

Last but not least, we came up with Tile Isle using Dear Stella's Kallianthi fabric line. Pattern will be available on our website in the next couple of weeks!! I will let ya'll know when it's available!

 

I hope you like all of our quilts and please share your photos if you see them at Market!! Thank you to all of the fabulous fabric companies for letting up play with your fabrics...they are all beautiful and ya'll were great companies to work with!!!

First off here are some photos from Amy Butler's Booth!

Amy Butler and my pregnant self!  All that walking around all day made me feel SUPER pregnant!

Lark fabrics

Those pillows are awesome (Honey Bun Poufs) and gorgeous bags!

Her new line Lark, to me, has a very beachy vibe to it! 

Next up, Anna Maria Horner's Booth!

Anna Maria and I!  Her due date with her first child is my exact due date, how crazy is that?!

Pretty embroidery

This quilt was awesome, it's hard to tell in the photo but all of the yellow are different folds (this photo is for you Jess!)

Her AWESOME couch....I want this at my house please!

I can't remember what booth this elephant was in, but he sure is cute!

Some fun pincushions!!

On to post two.....with pretty quilts!

Having Fun in Houston

Having a fun filled time in Houston and just thought I'd drop in to say hello!  Between my family and Quilt Market we've been busy!!  More to come later!  Here is a photo of my mama and I on one of my favorite quilts!

I'm coming to Houston this week!!

I am so excited that I will be in Houston on Wednesday!!  Quilt Market, Quilt Festival, Baby Shower #1 here I come!  I can't wait to see everyone and get inspired at Market!!  I will be down there for two weeks and will be SUPER BUSY so I may not post again until after I get back!  Here is the latest preggo photo of me!  I will be 27 weeks tomorrow so here is my 26 week photo! Hope ya'll have a great couple of weeks....I'll post lots of Market photos when I return!

That argyle is part of the nursery! More nursery pics to come soon too, still lots of stuff to be sewn!

That's Ozzie who decided he needed some attention while Jon was taking my photo! 

CRAZY BUSY!

So I've been pretty quiet around here and I've had a good reason...I promise!!  I've been frantically working on a quilt that will be at Market in Salt Lake City this weekend!!  If you're going please take a photo of my quilt hanging up and email it to me! PLEASE :)

I'm a member of the St. Louis Modern Quilt Guild and two weeks ago a local fabric artist, Laura Gunn, contacted us and asked up to make a quilt with her new fabric line called Painters Canvas.  I was supposed to keep it quiet...until now!! WOO HOO...it's been hard to keep a secret from ya'll!  

Laura's fabric collections include Lantern Bloom, Poppy, Magnolia Lane and Painter's Canvas. Michael Miller Fabrics will be showing her new lines Magnolia Lane and Painter's Canvas at the International Quilt Market in less then three weeks. Laura contacted our guild and proposed a crazy idea. Would any of the STLMQG members be interested in making a modern quilt using her Painter's Canvas line. The quilts will be photographed, shown at market and later returned to the owner. Five of us took on the challenge to make a lap size quilt in two weeks (well more like 1 1/2 weeks we got the fabric last Saturday).
If you want to see what everyone else is doing check them out and give them some love too!

And PLEASE if you're going to market I would love you forever if you could take a photo for me!  :)  Thanks!

Hope ya'll are having a great week!!  Oh yes, and THANK YOU THANK YOU to my sister Rachel Hill for the awesome photos!!!  :)
