Whew! A momentous occasion has occurred! My first line of patterns are officially drafted and on their way out the door. Either by grossly underestimating the work load or just doing more than I had initially planned, this took much more time than I thought it would. Drafting this line has been equivalent to designing a line of fabric. Just in case you're contemplating it, now you have a better idea of the commitment to expect!
There it is in all its colorful happiness. All 16 pieces, which will be neatly tucked into 4 different patterns. I will make sure to give an "official" debut closer to Market which is when I will "for real" be officially debuting them.
This will be a big month for us! I will try very hard to blog and keep you up to date on the workings around here as they will be many. Between now and May 16th, I will debut a new line of fabric (that has me jumpy I love it so much!), give the real, modeled, debut of the first line of patterns, and debut our website. Forgive me if I am not around much! It's going to be a very busy month, finishing everything up.
Wish me luck!
Wow--BUSY! Do you have time to sleep?! :) I'm excited to see what you have in the works!

Oh, wow, I just bought a ton of gorgeous fat quarters from the quilt shop, and unbeknownst to me, they are all from your line! How exciting! I love it all and I can't wait to see what project I'll end up doing. (That's right...I don't have a project in mind yet, but I just HAD to have your fabrics.)
