Purse Progress

The handful of pictures just posted are a few of my favorites. There are some in progress using unique fabrics, buttons, etc. and even some vintage items which will really be one of a kind.
This Kenzie Mac venture has been such fun. There is nothing better than sewing with your daughter till the wee hours of the morning-a mother's dream come true! You should see what she is sewing on now-she'll most likey post pics sooner than I will.

Purse Progress

There are maybe 40 here of the 70 we will have finished up by later today. We just have handles left to sew on and then it will be photo time. Wait till you see our next project. Not sure it will be a pattern but fun and easy to make and so cute on little girls.

Just had to share a little progress with you.

Fall

To say we are a little exctied about fall finally arriving in Arizona is an under-statement-yes, it is going to heat up again this week but hang in there, fall is just around the corner. I had to share some of my new fall flowers with you. It's hard to tell the size in a picture but this table in my courtyard is about 5 feet long.

Quilters Hall of Fame book is here!!

Sorry this is sideways!

It's finally here!!! After much anticipation, "The Quilters Hall of Fame -42 Masters Who Have Shaped our Art" is out. Here is a picture of the cover and a partial view of pgs. 119 and 120. Notice a familiar name?! A smaller version of this book came out in I believe 2004 and then all the original authors were invited to update their inductee. This book features the 42 quilters including incredible pictures. Please ask your local quilt shop to order in this book for you, it is BEAUTIFUL!!!!!!!!!!!! Marian Ann J. Montgomery and Voyageur Press went above and beyond for this book-I know you'll LOVE it!!!

I just had to post this picture of Christmas presents stored up in my closet for my sister!!! I recently started wrapping Christmas presents and it drives her crazy-hey, there is one big family here and if I didn't start early I'd never finish in time.

Getting ready for Halloween!

A look at the partially completed "Elite Totes". There are nearly 70 new ones soon to be available!

Just a teaser of some of our fabric lines for our latest new "Elite Totes" we'll be selling soon!
