Who's your Hoochy Mama?

 Who's your Hoochy Mama?

Mary Lou and Melanie Bautista McFarland

have put together a fun book of fast fun projects in

their funky way of working with fabrics.

Wanna win a copy to see for your self? 

You too can find your inner  Hoochy Mama!

Hoochy Mama refers to a technique in their book... Just FYI. ;-)

I had a few very serious questions for Melanie, and Mary Lou,

Which came first the 

"Freddy Feathers baby Chick" or the egg?

Melanie said: Of course, Freddy! He's so far out of the box he doesn't
need an egg to deliver.  In fact, we made up a "Frederica" 
and she's a fashionista!

MaryLou said:
Boy that is an age old question. I think Freddy came first but 
then he needed a Mama right? Hmmmm.

Victoria: I find great inspiration in saying 
"I will NEVER make..."  
Usually when I say this, I end

 up making at least one maybe 10 of whatever that is...
I made a crack once that I would never make a
COW quilt, I am now making a cow quilt... 

You actually have a PURPLE cow quilt 
and you were MOO-ved by the same poem! 
That takes me back to first grade, 
when I had to memorize a poem about that purple cow...

(I still know it!)
Let me recite it for you.

THE PURPLE COW

by: Gelett Burgess (1866-1951)

I never saw a Purple Cow,

I never hope to see one:

But I can tell you, anyhow,

I'd rather see then be one.

What is something you've said you'd 

never make and now find your self making

 or have made?

Mel swore she'd never quilt a thing - we both prefer to send out 

our quilts for stitching. But she's caught the bug & 

so far is doing really terrible, 

awful stuff, but still trying to

make a go of it.  Hoping "bad" is the new "good?"

MaryLou said: I never knew I would be 

so fond of cows...

I have made three and I want to make many

more....so much fun! I may have cows on every 

wall of my house...and I am not even a farm 

girl! Cowlicious, Cowabunga,Moochachoo's, 

Moo-goo-gaipan, Mooryland, Amoorica,and 

many more...try one they are easy quick and 

additictive!

So, One last very serious question, 

that we all want to know...

 Did the Freddy feathers CHICK cross the road to eat 

the Chocolate Whacky Cake?

 The How sweet it is cupcakes, 

the Ice cream cones, 

or the Lollipops?

MEL: Yes, the chocolate cake would be Freddy's choice -

Mel's a certified "chocoholic"

and consumes anything chocolaty, 

even chocolate-colored fabric.

MARYLOU: He crossed to the road to get 

either Jamba Juice or See's candy and then

tried to run back to work it off...

(All very cute patterns in their book! 

win a copy or buy one now!)

I can tell these two had a lot of fun making this book, 

published through Martingale & Co.

A great book to push yourself further out of your box!
