Sis Boom Day Dreams

Sewing Soulfully

Before I begin let me just thank you all for your kindness in the last post. I want you to know I appreciate it and am doing as much as I can to get attention to this...I e-mailed Atlanta Newspapers, Atlanta TV, Ceaser Milan, Dogtown, Best friends, anyone that would listen and very little progress. Not defeated just frustrated that this is what it is...but I will keep up the good fight and thanks for standing beside me..On a sweeter note I'd like to introduce you to Aimee Poche the creater and designer of SewSensible! and is producing the greatest patterns for sale in her Etsy shop! the best thing about her patterns is she tries to keep the beginner in mind. She also has a blog about her 8, count em 8 children! She designs sells the patterns at You can make this. What I have learned about this beautiful soul is that she walks in faith. She and her husband founded an orphan adoption ministry
called His Heart for Orphans</ and they themselves have adopted some of their children!! What I am so moved by is that she gets it all done and still finds time to give, to me that's the beauty of the human spirit...Many blessings Aimee to you and your Ministry.

Then Javis Davis contacts me the other day to let me know what they have been up to and looky here!! Just like Andrea in previous post these guys give plenty of alternatives to Blah!!! These cribs are sensational!! I designed this one so go get your own!! Mary Peyton Peppo has come up with the most inventive way to create your own crib bedding. I am so excited for her!! But she doesn't stop there!! How about a glider that actually looks good to lull that baby to sleep! My girlfriend Nuala bought her gliding rocker and before she used it she had it slipcovered! No more!! Mary is on the fast track to giving you what you want and reduces the anxiety of custom!!! Bravo and wishing you all the very best Mary!!

Thanks for all the folks who discovered us on True up the wonderful blog by Kim Kight where she shares her love of material and may I say how clever that is ????? I just adore women and the stuff they come up with!! The blog is so well done go treat yourself I have a feeling it's going to be so big!!! It's a resource as well as a good dose of inspiration thanks so much for the nice write up on Bellbottoms too!!! Then at 5pm like
I promised we had a winner and it's Jen at Cottagenest who also has an amazing blog and loves and hearts fabric of all kinds has become the latest in line to win a Sis Boom raffle !!! I love her patriotic fabric posts going on now...So thanks to all of you who dropped a line and made all those lovely comments I can not ever thank you enough...!! Now I need to diverge and talk up a good friend of mine who makes the most beautiful Memory boards I have ever seen. A banker by day and crafter/designer by night she has established herself as the go to girl for frames and memory boards. Marnie Ruane has a gift and you've got to see how beautifully she puts it together. Below are a couple of her frames she did for our show!

My Girl Tanya

This girl is one to watch. Many of you got to see her in Portland at that amazing booth of hers with her very talented mom by her side. I thought I'd fill you in on some of our show background noise that makes these Markets so fun and giggly and we get to feel like school girls with the family back on the East Coast.....looking for Soda when we were totally parched just to have our last coins swallowed up by these mean mega machines that looked like they new better than us......putting a chair together from IKEA a big joke until lovely Erin McMorris showed up !! Getting a lovely corner of the hotel restaurant where I got to know her mom ! LOL moments because we think the same. Somehow Tanya and I made a connection long ago when I first met her maybe cause I saw so much of myself in her as a young new designer wondering which way was up!!! Look at her now , Her Textiles are fresh and exuberant, Her palette sweet as Tupelo Honey ..(Both big fans of Van Morrison) and her sewing patterns couldn't be anymore straight forward.....Take a look at her Quilt Market Posts and see that fun booth. I give it a smashing thumbs up award. Look at this photo of Miss Tanya I love it !!!! It says it all...

A Quickie

I love my Make my Day category because it really and truly tickles me to no end to see what comes from all the talented men and women of the blog world...Check out what Nancy has done now.....Folks this is a real genuine floor matt...maybe she'll do a tutorial one day!!

Blockbuster Award!!

Something about Bari J. She's not only an amazing business woman but extremely grateful for the talents bestowed on her and sometimes I think that's the main ingredient for success.....GRATITUDE......She really takes the quilting fabrics to a whole new place and shows us how to work with every last remnant!! Skillfully she has created a wonderful business and shares the trials and tribulations on her blog. Honest and raw I appreciate every detail and her intimate sharing of heartache and rewards of perseverance....She tells us to Dream of possibilities...Can you tell I am crazy for this girl....Take a look at her site her ,her blog, find something for yourself or be inspired...whatever works...please wish her my best...J
