It's a big, HUGE day for me.
My book hits stores today. Wow.
My new website is LIVE.
Our new Ruffle Pants are arriving from the printer today. (Hooray! They been out of stock forever..)
AND (!!!!)
Meadowsweet 2
And now I will have nothing new to talk about for a year. :) Nah, I will. But let me talk a little about these things now.
The website-this is going to be a gradual new website. All of the specific pages aren't completely finished yet, and while it bugs me to put it live without everything being neat and tidy and in place, people need a place to order patterns from. So, enjoy! All of our current patterns are in stock, and the new ones will be up before we leave for market. But mosey around and see the fun things that are coming. This site has been in the works for a long time, and I'm thrilled to finally see it go live! (even if it isn't totally complete.)
Meadowsweet 2 deserves its' own post, so I will give it one on Wednesday. But there it is in all its glory. I love it. It is a new approach to color for me, and it took more tries than I'm used to to get it right. But I LOVE it! It is available for preorder right now - contact your Michael Miller sales rep and they will set you up.
Wow! You do have a big week going on. I love the colors of the new Meadowsweet2. I look forward to getting some of the strawberry fabric in aqua.

So, if I buy your book and use it, may I stalk you in Missoula for an autograph when we're up there this summer?

What SUPER exciting news!!! I am so stinkin' excited about the Meadowsweet 2...I bought the entire collection the first day it was available and have LOVED it ever since. It's such an amazing line and I think the new colors are absolutely lovely. Can't wait to have some of that loveliness in my hands! :-)

Sandi, everything looks fabulous! I took a short adventure around the new site and I was in love!! The fabric, the projects, the "school" (holy cow, how cool is that). Everything is totaly first class and sweetly chic. And your book, I can't wait to get my hands on a copy of that little gem!

How exciting, Sandi! I can't wait to get a copy of your book, and your new fabrics are just gorgeous. You've been quite the busy bee, huh?! Keep up the great work!

Does the new ruffle pants pattern have any changes from the old one? I found the triple ruffle pants pattern to run really narrow with the old pattern. If there are any changes I will buy the new pattern too, as I LOVE the single ruffle pants!

I've been wanting to make a new purse for myself and looking everywhere for just the right fabric. Although I saw lots I liked, nothing clicked. Until now! I see several of Meadowsweet 2 that will be excellent! Now my challenge will be narrowing down!!!!
Congrats on the website, book, and patterns, too!

P.S. I love the whole line too. And is there a pattern for that cute top that goes with the ruffled pants?

I left a happy review of your book on my blog! My blog doesn't get tons of traffic, but you know, just spreading the good word!

I ordered your book and it arrived on Saturday. I'm excited to get started! You're fabulous!

I think I like Meadowsweet 2 even better than the first! I already have 2 big stacks of your fabrics in my new cupboards, and can see I'm going to be adding to that!
