Impressive.

Where's my card reader for the point n' shoot?  I was going to show you some random shots from my trip to Charlotte, NC, but I can't find the card reader & I don't want to wake Isaac up over it.

I was going to name the post "Old News," as I'm finding it hard to be very current with my updates (still meaning to show photos from our Disneyland trip months ago & my antique store finds with Laura). Now, when I do find the card reader, I'm going to have to name the post "Very Old News," as it will have been a whole week since I headed out to Donna's Inspired. event.  Which was mightily impressive!  What a tremendous feat, Donna & Bill.  You must be fearless.  And everything was beautiful & seamless.

Donna has two new books out.  I picked up a copy of each while I was at the event.  I knew that she had used a couple of my pincushions in some photography for Fabric Scrapbooking, but I had no idea that my Freshcut line was used throughout the whole book & on the cover.  That was a fun surprise.

Cool projects too.  Donna has no fear of fabric, though she doesn't profess to sew.  And she's spreading the love.  The owner of Scrapbookin' Adventures is all jazzed now to carry my Freshcut fabric collection, as well as the whole Freshcut scrapbook collection (coming in June, I'm guessing. I'll get some dates.)  I think Donna's to blame. Or maybe Christina.  She taught a fabric/paper project too.  Anyhow, I can't wait to see what projects they put together.      

And a big thanks to all of the wonderful women I met last weekend.  I had a ton of much-needed fun.

Hi Heather,
So nice to meet you at Inspired. I enjoyed visiting with you and love my trash tie you were so kind to give. I'm planning to order more soon. I can totally relate to your "Very Late News" comment as I've been working since I got home from Inspired and haven't been able to catch up much on my blog either. Here's to us both catching up on "very old news" real soon.
God Bless you! June

hope you enjoyed your trip to the Queen City. It is beautiful here this time of year.
Hope you post pictures soon! I really enjoy reading your blog.

Busy is good, and even if it is very old news there are lots of us who will love to hear about it :)

I'm getting married in two weeks and we're heading to Disney World as part of our honeymoon. Lets see how many months it takes me to get pics up on my blog.

Can't wait for the scrapbook collection to be out. I'm a "wanna-be" scrapbooker, with only two that I've started and not one that has ever been completed. Maybe some fun new inspiration from you will help? ;)

have a good weekend.
April

How thrilling it must be to find your work when you don't expect it. I loved! your article in Home companion. Well done.

You definitely have one of my favorite blogs. I think it's because you are a woman who inspires other women. I love that.

[Heather Hill]

Aw, I didn't realize you'd been in Charlotte. Hope you had a great time while you were here!

[SummersCamp]

Totally unrelated, but my mom and I just discovered that your amazingly talented husband took some wedding shots of our bestest family friends! Such a small world, eh? *B

Hi, Heather... I love your blog! I've been trying to e-mail you, but my outlook is weird. Do any of your fabric lines use organic materials? Thanks so much.

Hi Heather - love, love your blog. I've been reading it for a while now and find it a lot of fun and very inspiring. I managed to track down a place here in Australia to purchase some of your fabric. The next project is a dress for my little girl. Are your patterns going to be available any time soon??

[Nena]

I love the freshcut line so much, how could they resist using the line throughout the book? I just made a couple summer dresses for my daughter Hendrix last week using your line of fabrics. (if you have time check out the pictures on my blog) Thanks so much for sharing your talents with us here. Your blog is such a inspiration for creation!
ps love our new trash ties...

[Debye]

Thanks for sharing...I just grabbed up the book! Also, I wanted to add that I am looking at Pop Garden preview right now through my Free Spirit account and it is gorgeous!

[Mary Smith]

Hi! I just found and bookmarked your sight. What fabulous photos you have! I am on the prowl for mom blogs. I hope I can get some good scrapbooking ideas too. Blogging has kind of taken over lately!

[Jennifer Stewart]

Heather,
It was such a treat to meet you! You are so inspiring and talented. I hope I get to see you again sometime!

Blessings,
Jennifer Stewart

[Destiny]

Hi Heather! So nice to meet you and learn that we share a lot of the same interests. I'll be back and will check out the fabric when I finally get through the yards and yards that I have amassed and NEED to make something with.

[Kassie]

[Audrey]

can't wait to plan with some of your fabric, and it was so great to meet and hang with you for a bit on Saturday night.

I have some pictures of you doing trash ties in Heidi's hair, let me know if you want me to send them your way.

Great post on your machines. Amen to the Bernina! I just bought a new one a couple of years ago and I love it. I use to work in the costume shop when I was in college and that is all they used, great machines. I love your stories of your all nighters in fashion school. My daughter is attending CCA in Oakland Califorina,and she is doing this right now,also newly married.
