Yay! Happy Easter.
I spent some good time outdoors and am feeling refreshed and ready for a week in the studio. We did the egg-hunt/bubble-party thing at my parents', along with a potluck feast. (Sometime I'll have to get you the recipe for my mom's "Heart-Attack Potatoes" - everyone's guilty favorite.)
And good news on the Martha Stewart thing -- Mary from Tennessee found a link to the episode with my fabric. Follow this link and press play. It's the segment called "Sewing Machines."
I'll be back soon with some clearer photos of Charlotte's little Easter outfit (the gift from Kat I was telling you about. Talk about good timing -- over-the-top Springy duds just in time for Easter). Charlotte looked like a poster- child for the holiday (that, or a bowl full of ice cream).
And, no, I'm not expecting. That's just a billowy dress.
How exciting! I saw the video and the fabric is lovely! Congrats!

Beautiful photos, as always. Thanks for the Martha link. Yesterday I was showing my mother-in-law my blog and a few of the ones I read. I showed her yours (specifically your gorgeous studio) and explained that you design fabric. Later she was pointing out fabrics she thought I'd like in one of her quilting catalogs, and freshcut was there! Now she's a fan, too.

You both look just so... springy! I love the different ways you do your hair - any tips available? Very, very cute.

Hi Heather! Just saw the apron made with your fabric on Martha Stewart. It looks simply beautiful. The way your fabrics coordinate is pure genius. So many combinations, so little time!
Posted by: Tina | April 09, 2007 at 08:48 PM
You are just the cutest thing. Love your dress!
Posted by: Elizabeth K | April 09, 2007 at 08:51 PM
That photo of you is absolutely stunning. You and the dress and the photo: a trifecta of beauty.

Would love to see more photos of Charlotte's outfit - she is so cute!
Excellent photography as always - just love your site!

One more thing… I love putting my hair up but it's never an easy thing for me, you hair is so cute! Looks like you have ribbon twisted through the back? Could I request a 'how to' post on that?
JK… kind of ;)
Posted by: Jill | April 10, 2007 at 04:46 AM
Love the shoes. Where did you find them?
Posted by: Andie | April 10, 2007 at 05:19 AM
I love your fabric! I was excited to visit a friend who showed me a dress she was so happy about putting together for her daughter. It turns out that one of your designs is part of the dress.
Love that video too - great press piece!
(I have that sewing machine in the video. Now I'll have to get your fabric too!)
Posted by: gena | April 10, 2007 at 07:10 AM
How lovely.
Posted by: tiffany | April 10, 2007 at 07:26 AM
Love,love,love it all! Please tell us how you do your hair like that!!! Oh, and did you make your dress?
Posted by: Cindy | April 10, 2007 at 07:55 AM
Eek! Martha was absolutely petting that fabric!
And Charlotte looks like a pastel cream puff in that darling outfit! Wasn't the weather just perfect on Easter? I'm guessing the dress is from Anthropologie (but that's just a guess)?
Posted by: jona | April 10, 2007 at 08:42 AM
I absolutely love that dress - and what beautiful photos!
Posted by: Kirsten | April 10, 2007 at 09:14 AM
Hi Heather!
I love your blog! We have your fabric here at my store in KY and people just LOVE it. I was wondering if you will have a booth at quilt market in Utah?
Posted by: liz | April 10, 2007 at 09:40 AM
I anxiously await every post. You are so inspiring. PLEASE give us a TUTORIAL on how you do your hair! Thank you for sharing.
Posted by: Nancy | April 10, 2007 at 10:31 AM
Isn't there a law or something against one person hoarding all the beauty genes AND the creative genes? :) Thanks for sharing these pics, Heather!
Posted by: Ann-Margret | April 10, 2007 at 11:06 AM
Beautiful pictures, and outfits! It kinda looks like your in the groves, in AZ, where I'm from. Crazy, but still beautiful, eh? :)
Posted by: Beth | April 10, 2007 at 12:21 PM

Posted by: abby | April 10, 2007 at 01:23 PM
What a beautiful picture with the bubbles. That took some doing I'm sure...but what great results!
Posted by: Jane | April 10, 2007 at 01:52 PM
I am ordering those exact fabrics from the States so I can make that exact wrap dress for my daughter. Oh, and this order was placed two days ago. Jinx!
Posted by: Reilly | April 10, 2007 at 02:07 PM
That apron is the greatest, she did seem to love on the fabric (and who can blame her, it's soft and gorgeous).
Posted by: Ashley | April 10, 2007 at 02:30 PM

Posted by: Sadie Olive | April 10, 2007 at 05:19 PM
always love your photos...but, i'd really love a heather hair-doo post, complete with step-by-step instructions. my daughter is 11 and insists on doing her own hair, which is simmilar to yours. i just love all the twists and things you do - please share!
Posted by: heidi | April 10, 2007 at 06:19 PM
Thanks for the Martha link. I love her show but don't get to watch it much because we don't have pay TV. The website is a very good resource therefore. It must be so exciting to see your fabrics pop up in all these amazing places. Congrats.
Posted by: Melissa | April 10, 2007 at 06:26 PM
What a beautiful day!
Ah shucks, too bad we don't have TV reception or I'd stay up and watch the Jay Leno spoof. It ought to be fun for you, especially, to see! Guess I'll go check out the Martha link instead and see the real thing.
Posted by: Siri | April 10, 2007 at 09:07 PM

OMG! I worked it out. Those things in your hair? The red things that are so awesome? Those are your mysterious Trash Ties! Am I right?
Posted by: Reilly | April 11, 2007 at 10:40 AM
What was it the maid said in The Parent Trap, "I ain't sayin' a word?"
Nah, really... Give me a few weeks. You're gonna LOVE 'em.
Posted by: Heather Bailey | April 11, 2007 at 11:31 AM
