to market, to market

Fabric is a flying over here! I've made 5 projects for Quilt Market so far, a couple to go...Besides a few other commission deadlines thrown in, the past two weeks have been turning my hair grey.

Oh wait, my hair IS grey! 

OK, well, maybe a little bit grey-er around the edges! But I love a good push to finish things up, I feel so productive!  Alas, though, it leaves me without anything fabulous to share with you, other then some sneak peeks...

I can share this with you!  The new issue of Quilt Trends has an article on Cyndi Souder and her Power Suit Challenge!  My quilt is among those listed in the article. If you get a chance to see the quilts from this touring exhibit, please check them out, so many fun works! Inspirational! Here's my OLD post about this project. We also have the Art and old Lace exhibit that will be going around as well... Stay tuned!

And this article in THE QUILT LIFE... I tried to let slip by...
But, Jackie called me on it last night...LOL!

I'm all for posting anything about the QUILT ALLIANCE,so go check out the Article!

Why did I try to let it slip by? 
Well, let's just say... It's not my best photo...LOL!
haha. Ok, now you must go see it,so you can laugh and draw fake mustaches on me...
This was before my Q.S.O.S interview last year... I look like I am about to have my teeth removed...

hahahaha! One must laugh at themselves, I was so nervous!

BUT! Its' a great article that talks about what we are doing with the Quilt Alliance and
 HOW YOU CAN HELP!
These interviews, the Q.S.O.S interviews?
You can do these yourselves!
I'm sure you have someone you'd love to hear talk about their quilts! 
Friends, grandparents, mothers, grandfathers etc! SAVE THOSE STORIES!!
Learn more about that here.


OK... I must go clean the dust bunnies out of my JUKI. It's been going 100 MPH over here...
Cotton Batting Fur balls, are flying!

Have I said, how much I LOVE MY JUKI?
I do.
I really, really do.
