Stitches in Bloom Quilt Show

December 1, 2010 is coming fast now that Fall has arrived. That is the deadline to submit your creation for the Quilt Challenge for the Stitches in Bloom Quilt Show using my Earth Blessings Patchwork print (this fabric has sold out). I've been a vendor at Stitches in Bloom since the very first year and am honored to have had my fabric design chosen.

If you live nearby in Oregon and need any coordinates, visit the Cotton Patch in Keizer, or Quilted Forest in Salem.

Applications and information are found on the Oregon Gardens link for the Stitches in Bloom Show.

Have fun Quilters, I look forward to all of your creations!

NEW 3-Pocket Purse

I've created a new pattern for a 3-Pocket Purse that I've just added to sisterhoodofquilters.com. The finished size is 8.5" x 9" with three layered pockets inside. It's the perfect size purse for your essentials.

So quick to sew, you will want one made from all of your favorite colors! Visit my site to see my fabric designs that will make this purse extra special.

It's also easy to embellish on the flap edge with fancy stitches, beads, and charms.

As of 3/12/11, this pattern has been discontinued.

The Halloween themed totebag pictured at right is the first in the BAG for ALL SEASONS collection.
