Coming, Coming soon..

I hope you all had lovely Easter weekends?  Ours was very relaxed, just what I needed.  Easter dress photos next week..

Okey dokey-

I get a lot of emails inquiring as to the whereabouts of my Ruffle Pants pattern. And my new patterns.. They are coming. They have taken a long time to get to publication point due to lots of other work responsibilities.

As for the ruffle pants pattern I mentioned, it is at the printer as we speak.  All done up with new illustrations and a pretty new cover.

Here are a few outtakes from our photo shoot.  Notice the pumpkin mouth Eliza is sporting lately-  (so cute!)

 

When we lived in Idaho, we had to search high and low for good spots to take pictures.  Don't get me wrong, I have great Idaho memories and am super grateful for the time we lived there.  But now, all we have to do is basically walk outside.  Montana is good to us like that.

In case you're wondering, the top in the picture is View C from Gracie with some fun trim sewn on.

 

And the final new cover:

 

The options are the same, everything is just updated a bit..

 

I also picked out the final pieces for the next fabric group.  When I designed Meadowsweet, I pitched 3 color groups.  Retailers are requesting smaller groups, so we printed only two at that time, and planned to print the third at a later date.  I loved that grouping-but in the end felt it didn't have enough juxtaposition in the colors.  I like my color groups to tell a story if you will, not just be a mix of 2 or 3 colors.  So I used that third color grouping as the basis for a new one.  I love the end result and will share pictures when I get pieces of the entire grouping here!

Can't wait to see the new grouping...will it coordinate with the original Meadowsweet fabrics? Just took my Meadowsweet quilt to the quilters the other day...CAN"T WAIT to get it back!

Very cool! Can't wait to see all the new patterns--love the illustrations!

Sort of- the coral color is repeated and my cream is always the same. But it is definitely a new direction for me. This group is much softer than my usual!

looks great. cant wait for the next patterns!I am having so much fun with the other ones right now. switching them around doing plain colors and i love them. I love the top how you did the plainer colors with wild pants.
thanks for such great patterns.

So cute. If I had a little girl I would definately make these for her.

So there will be a third grouping? I think that will be great! I made a sample set for my local quilt shop and it was hard getting that third voice. Don't get me wrong your line is gorgeous! But that third colorway will round it out really well. Can't wait to see it! Still collecting Farmers Market! Gorgeous line!

I love all your stuff!!! Could you please make a knit fabric? Light weight with a smidge of Lycra? There is nothing out there cute in knits for adults and I'm starved for cute.

I am so happy for you, your patterns and illustraions are so beautiful! Hope things go well for you!!!

[Laurel]

Keep up the fantastic work!!! Love the carefree girlie look of these pattern's.

What a coincidence! I'm working on ruffle pants right now for my daugher. Thanks for being an inspiration! Since Lily just turned eight, and she's a tall one, I'm hoping your new patterns will be for older girls too.

I will second Mary Ann's request. I sew for my granddaughters & have one almost 10. There don't seem to be many tween patterns & I'm sure you would do a fantastic job! After all, your little girl is growing, too!

Everything looks so pretty! Can't wait to actually try!

I'm glad for Photoshop and Illustrator and whatnot to assist in the illustration process because the rest of the work looks like it took FOREVER! She is very talented indeed. I'm not sure how artists actually make any money because it looks like she spent hours and hours and hours on it all. I'm hoping PS and AI helped with her time.

Great work!

Ah, you are sweet, Sandi. And a joy to work with! I don't know how you do it all so I was pleased that you asked me to help with the illustrations. Hopefully it took a bit of your load!

Wow, I completely fell in love with the patchwork pants pattern, and that little skirt. Do you still have that available for sale somewhere? My little girl would love them. Thanks.
