Look at how Ruth Al-Mushadani does this So St. Croix Quilt. Taking out the brown and black she has created a whole new vision. I love this! Like pools of watercolors coming together. This quilt just speaks of islandy beauty. Thanks Ruth OF TWO HIP HIPPOS for giving us another perspective that's fresh and colorful. We adore this...xoxoxoxo Jennifer

Randi Hayden brings us the cutest skirt via Make it Perfects's Versatile Skirt Pattern. Go visit her blog to get another glimpse..and PS she sells Poodle and the Pattern in her etsy shop!!!
Randi we love that you put this up in our Sis Boom Sightings cause it is fab and I know others will want to make one...You my friend are a jewel to let us share this with our readers. xoxoxo
Thank you to our lovely Caroline, of Make and Mingle, who was so kind to lend her sweet charm and good looks to the pattern cover, and to Tim Geaney for, as always, capturing special Sis Boom moments like this one here.
The pattern will be available for all of you to enjoy by the beginning of next week. psst, there will also be a childs' version of the boxer short called the Louey! How fun!
p.s. for self expression applique, Carla will include directions for lettering the backside of the shorts!
It's our girl Jona (I pronounce Joenah) Giammalva , I hope that's right. She is squeezable. Always there to give great customer service and to help all the future fashionistas (?) with a style update. We all love staring at her blog and seeing what great things she's put together. This skirt will blow your mind! Too fun for words with its sweet ruffled bottom. She wears it so well. A super shop girl that will help you coordinate fabrics and make your shopping for fabric a fun venture. This girl treats folks the way she'd like to be treated with incredible kindness. Her Poodle should be arriving momentarily but she's sporting So St. Croix so get your yardage asap before it's all gone.
The quilt is exceptional done by my friend Marsha Moore.. Love that girl!!! Remember there will be a free download at Freespirit !!
Our friend Ruth At Sew Love Fabrics ripped open her yardage and started sewing away. She's even got some extra to sell to all you folks over at her etsy shop. She says I was right about Poodle and these colors and designs do play well with others!! Look at the mix of Sis Boom fabrics in this sweet skirt......you gotta love that leash!!!! Thanks Ruth for your fun mix of patterns and hopefully the first in a long line of show off's. We love you guys. Show us the goods.
Do we get to help in such an extraordinary way. Quilt Haiti has been an honor and a privilege to be a part of. This incredible photo shares the hope. It speaks a thousand words in a matter of seconds. I've lived with this photo for several days now and I can't believe how a quilt can transform a life but it's more than the material. It's about the warmth and the hands that have passed over it to get it's to it's rightful destination. Thanks to everyone involved in this incredible charity particularly to Rebecca who hand delivers them with her heart and soul. And if you want to do more to help contribute to the cause ...watch this video. and reach out to Rebecca
