Sis Boom Day Dreams

Lovefest!!

I've blabbed about these guys before I'm still unsure of who's who cause its one big happy family!!
So let me present Marie Madeline Studio! These folks love the excitement of creating and they are happy to share ideas!!  The Long Ladies also do patterns so now you too can make their sweet brand of clothing!  I love these photos of the happy colorful girls who I'm sure are part of this amazingly talented family. Next up would be girlfriend Anne Bolles Galeone of Fire Fly Hill Designs who makes the most amazing items from Sis Boom Fabrics. Make sure to check out her blog.  I think she has every fabric we've ever created!!!  But look what she's created for our show.   The most fabulous dog leashes ever!!!  We are so happy with them! Thanks Anne for all the pooch love!  Hope you make it to the show!! Lastly is wonderful Kristen from Gock's Frocks who I was fortunate enough to meet at Quilt market who was also goo goo over April Cornell almost as much as me. Well Kristen greeted me with the most incredible skirts for girls at market and I can't stop looking at them. Well guess what she's coming to the show in Wilton, CT. and she's bringing more. I almost forgot my girlfriend Simone Howell who will one day be the next Tory Burch for her infinite pizazz and style. Check out her bags cause you will definitely want one. She brought the most beautiful bag to me at market.!!  She doesn't quit either look what I just stole from her blog...yes that amazing dress at the bottom. All of these women have the unique ability to make color an experience and to you I dedicate this post. Thank you for enriching my life.

when put against a wall over a bed make a great headboard. Marnie is debuting her quilted memory board here with Flower Power.  So read her wonderful blog and take it all in and I'll be back soon.....love ya all!!

We did it!!!

Our very first pattern!!!!!  It's too exciting for words and the story behind it is incredibly serendipitous.  Most of you know I taught a class a few months back for collage and journaling.
Well a wonderful young woman from Maryland came with her husband Delmar and beautiful boy Louie!  Delmar and Louie went to the childrens museum and parked Carla here with me!  After three hours of giggles and letting go,  before she left to go back to Maryland, I found out she did patterns.   Carla Hegeman Crim also known as the scientific seamstress not only does patterns but she has a dedicated following that love her to bits!!!  Carla is such a warm and loving person that I just know you are going to love her.  So the next thing I know we are partnering and the rest is history.  So Carla molecular biologist turned patternmaker has introduced me to the most wonderful people who love beautiful fabric!!!  So lets go there!
