Thank you kindly for all the comments yesterday about Meadowsweet. I'm thrilled that you guys seem to like it as much as I do. :)
Yesterday, I got a call from Kathy who offered to send me a bag stuffed full of Meadowsweet fat quarters to give away here. Hooray for fat quarters! So enter your name, you know..
You can still enter into yesterday's drawing for the baggie of my little bits. I'll announce both winners on Friday. Great way to start the weekend, yes?
These bags are really cool, they are lined in my Vintage Dot print from Ginger Blossom and will pull closed with a drawstring at the top. They put together a limited number of them to sell as samples at market so you may be able to snag one in a few weeks before the yardage even starts shipping. Tell your local shop to run and grab one at sample spree! They sold out quickly when they made them up with my first collection if I am remembering correctly. They will retail for $80, so thank you to Michael Miller for the sweet prize for the blog.
To answer the question, Meadowsweet will start shipping the end of November.
Also - Gracie (finally!) is back in stock on the website. Hooray! The new printed patterns will be available in November and I will aim to have the first two Printables up for sale next week.
Thank you again for the warm welcome to my new collection, it really makes it all the better!
PS - does anyone know of a good search widget that allows one to search a single website and not the entire web? I've been looking, but not coming up with much. Thanks!
Nice bags, perfect for toting a work in progress.

Hi, I just made my way over from the Pleasant Home blog. I keep hearing your name and about your fabrics so I finally had to come check it out. I had just been reading through blogs where everyone seems to be posting pictures of fall quilts done in dull, flat colors. Opening your blog was like a breath of fresh air. Love the colors, the pattern, the clarity.... I can't wait for Meadowsweet to come out and I will be looking for your earlier lines. Oh, how I would love FQs of Meadowsweet.

Sandi, for the kind of search you're talking about I use a Firefox add-on called "Hyperwords." It does a lot of other things, too, but you can customize it so the options are specific to your needs. I've found it really useful.
The new line looks great. Can't wait to see it in person!

I just discovered your blog--what a visual treat! I love your new Meadowsweet fabrics. What a great name too--Meadowsweet--yummy enough to give me cavities :)
