    Selvage

    Apr 26, 2013

    IMG_9852_thumb[4]

     

    A chicken on the selvage?  Love it.  Even pink and yellow…a chicken’s a chicken.

     

    I’ve been getting bits and pieces of Wallflowers in the mail.  Windham has a "Get to Know Me" post on their blog right now if you want to read more about me that you could ever want to know.  If you just look at the pictures I won’t feel bad.  ;)

     

    I finished all of my quilts + patterns + proofing (blah) + printing this week.   Really I had 3 months to do it and I waited until the last week to do it all.  Someday I will not procrastinate.
    Just kidding about that last part.

     

    Since most of my things are done I am going to procrastinate make a table runner…just for fun.

      I love the prints in your collection! Can't wait to see what you've made with them. That's funny you said dinner with Martha Stewart. I've always thought it would be a great learning experience to spend a week with her & cook, garden, etc. :) Probably would also hear I'm doing it all wrong, but I would love to learn some of those things from her.

      Can't wait for your fabric line to come out. I'm hoping one of my LQS will carry the full line; it looks like there are some great prints for my stash! :)

      Congrats again! I'm so excited for you.

      I can't wait for the fabric in September. I love zinnias too! I was a dental assistant before I had kids and became a sahm. I ended up homeschooling them. If you ever need a second pair of eyes to proof read, give a holler. I proof my college age daughter's papers and she had friends asking me to do theirs! Congrats on the first line. I'll be sure to bug my lqs to get it.

      It's beautiful, Allison! I'm going to pop over and read the interview. Yours is the first blog I ever read and inspired me to learn to sew and quilt. Where will it be available to purchase online? I will definitely be getting it. I have three daughters so we can certainly use pretty fabric at this house.

      Hi Allison. Firstly I'd like to thank you for writing such an amazing blog. I stumbled across it a few weeks ago and have gone back and read every single one of your posts and enjoyed every minute of it. You and Ashley (filminthefridge) have inspired me to start my own blog (well sort of - I've written the first post but haven't published it yet as I've not have the weather to take pictures to go with it!)

      Secondly may I congratulate you on your fantastic new fabric line. I love every single print and do hope that it will be available here in little old Wales (if not I might have to bite the bullet and make my first online purchase from the US).

      Sorry for the super long comment but I'm in love.......with the fabric that is!
