Marching, Marching

Such great feedback on the turtles!  It sounds like a lot of these names are making their way back into fashion:  Henrietta, Matilda, Penelope, Harriet, Eloise.  How awesome is that?!

Here in the studio, I have a quilt in the works, several aprons, handbags, blankets, basket-liners.  It's like bathing in ice cream.  Wait till you see what I mean. 

And let me just say that my mother is a SAINT.  She's doing more sewing than I am this week. I'm juggling contracts left and right, interviews, booth plans, model chasing (see yesterday's tweets), pattern covers, sample design -- that kind of stuff.  All fun, but a juggle nonetheless. Thank heaven for mom!

seriously cute! I should probably check out your blog more before asking this question, but do you make owls?

[Kari @ Ucreate]

Heather,
I LOVE the turtles, but like Tracy suggested owls would rock, too! I have an owl obsession!

[Jody]

It is nice to have a supportive mom. The turtles are super cute. Loved your tweet about model chasing.

[Sally]

I just love those turtles.

[Melissa Harvey]

Well, if you need any volunteers to help you during market, I totally volunteer. I live in Houston about 5 minutes from the convention center. Let me know if you do need help.

[Tegan and Tage]

Word on the street is that owls are on their way out... giraffe's are the next big thing.

I'm just sayin'!

Love the turtles though. :)

[TracyMB]

Owls could never be 'out' (unless you're one of those poor spotted ones, of course). You could make cow pies out of that fabric and they'd STILL be fabulous. :) Love the turtles! :)

[Jen Holyoak]

just laughin at the cowpie comment! I totally agree!

[Sew Love Fabrics]

so darn cute!!

[karin]

I still love those turtles, but marching like that I almost find them a bit scary. Are they going to take over the world? Make everything flowery and colourful? Hmm, now that I think of it.. maybe not that scary at all..

[Franchelle]

Heather, The little turtles are adorable. Leila (22 mos. old) would love to play with them. Hmmm...maybe, I need to make her a couple. Great idea!

[Faith Hope & a whole lotta Love]

absolutely adorable!

[Cindy]

Hmmm, ice cream. What does that mean?

[Diana]

Those turtles really ARE adorable, as are their names. Good luck with all of your upcoming projects. I can't wait to get a peek at the quilt!

[Christina]

Your turtles really are so sweet. I just love your sense of color and pattern. Brilliant. =D

[Tee]

my grandma's name was Eloise and now my granddaughter has the Loise as her middle name. The turtles are soooo cute. I loved your interview.

[heather hales]

can't remember if I commented yesterday on the turtles or not...but I love them! they are so cute! AND, one shares a name with my daughter :)

Hooray for supportive mothers, hope you get a few hours of down time this weekend!

[Pretty*Pink*Rat]

Love the cute turtles! And the names seem to fit each one just right with the color combinations you chose!

Have a great weekend!

[Karen]

They are sooooo cute! Love your blog by the way.

[Tizzalicious]

They are gorgeous!

Yay for helpful moms!

[gina f.]

those turtles are so cute I ordered the pattern and a kit because the fabric is to die for, too. Can't wait to see your other projects! have a great weekend!!

[Brooke]

Just had to come on over. EVERYONE is talking about your blog and how could I miss out? In your profile you said that you were spreading the word on the fulfillment of creativity; it's sure spreading even here to Australia.

Now, I'm just going to take a look around..

[Melissa]

Sounds like lots of busy fun!

[Peijuan]

These turtles are amazing! I just love them :D

[Pippa]

Oh, that turtle is sooooo lovely!! But there is no way I could stick a pin in it, I would have to keep it as decoration only!!

[agualila]

Quiero una tortuga colorida!!!!!!!!!

[Amanda Kirby]

My little girl who turns 7 in November is called Henrietta. She is named after a park In Bath - UK. The turtles are so cute.

[Colleen]

Those turtles are totally adorable. . .I think if they were taking over the world I'd surrender;)

[jobs retail]

I love those turtle. They are the cutest turtles I've ever seen. Have a happy weekend!

[Tracie Boellner]

Love these adorable turtles! The first thing that popped into my head when looking at them is that the turtle shells look like those adorable bucket hats that little girls wear. Wouldn't those be adorable in these fabrics? How cute!

[Sam]

My pet turtle when I was little was named Henrietta! Actually, we had no idea whether it was a boy or a girl, so its name frequently switched back and forth from Henrietta to Henry...

[Rafael's mum]

Love the turtles! Have bought the pear (and fruit) pattern but not even got round to making that yet... and now those cute turtles... sigh... will have to order that one too.... You are making too many nice things too fast!

[Alysia]

Those turtles are ADORABLE! Punchy bright colors make them a smashing hit!

[Mitzi Curi]

Your colors are just extraordinary! I think the turtles are adorable. I'm going to spend some time reading older posts on your blog. I haven't been here in way too long!
