What
an awesome response -- thank you all for your enthusiastic feedback on
my new fabric collections. I'm thrilled to release them; it's painful
to keep such an exciting secret to myself for so long. I'm going to
keep the contest going through the weekend so everyone will get a
chance to participate, so expect news on the winners come Monday or so.
And yes, I'm back in the blog saddle again, as promised. I have tons
of things to post about these days, one of which is the class I'm
teaching next weekend at Blissful Living Studio (part of Domestic Bliss). We're going to have a
summery, pincushion-y, strawberry-y fun-fest, making luscious, velvet
strawberry pincushions, chatting with girlfriends & sharing my
favorite Strawberry Pretzel Dessert ice cream (homemade!) -- recipe
coming up next.
The class includes a pattern for a pear, an apple, a tomato &
two strawberry pincushions (yes, my pear design now has friends -- and
they'll all be available in the same sewing pattern in the next couple
of weeks). I'll bring the supplies for making our strawberry
pincushions -- and I'll bring the ice cream. While 
everyone's busy stitching away on their strawberries, I'll go over
the instructions for making the other fruit pincushions included in the
pattern.
Kristin has an amazing talent for putting events together. I'm pretty sure she has some other fun flourishes to add to the class as well. We'll have a good time.
So, if you're in the area & would like to attend, contact Blissful Living & sign up. Here's their adorable invitation.
I'll see you there.
