I promised I'd post the design I am working on for a magazine shoot this spring.  I have spent the week unpacking, processing orders, stitching at night, and packing again for another trip this weekend.  All business...and fun as always.  I have decided to take these new patterns and make collections with them.  So each design will include a large applique, an embroidery pattern....a QUILT pattern.. (yes I said quilt pattern)...and a doll too.

It will be so fun to have a collection to decorate any little girls room, your laundry room or anywhere you want a splash of creativity.  So here is the first applique called Sunshine and Smiles.  I have drawn out a quilt design and a doll with an adorable dress that has the bright flowers on it.  I'll post when I come back next week.  So enjoy this for now.  The pattern and frame are available on the site.

Sunshine And Smiles

Just a few shots of my sewing room and the new pattern for next week!  I am soooo excited to get this one appliquéd.  It is bright and sweet and has an adorable lap quilt too.

Well off to Kinko's for copies...to Will's Pit Stop for a Diet Pepsi...and home to pack for another adventure in the windy city!  I hope you have a great weekend. And remember to find one thing each day that makes you giggle!
