"cupcakes & cherries"
Welcome Home!As
Quilt Quest 2008 (www.robertkaufman.com/quiltquest/2008/) wraps up its year long coast-to-coast travel schedule, I realize how much more touring this
1st Place mini quilt & ice cream cone purse have done than I have lately! Exciting destinations included:
Original Sewing & Quilt Festivals,
Road to California,
Original Creative Festivals, Pioneer Florida Museum, QuiltFest, & various guild shows. Thank you to everyone who went out to see this exhibit & who attended these fine shows! Thanks also for your kind reviews of show & work, including
Purple Fan.
The good news is that as they return home this month , I can complete patterns & begin to offer classes for both! BTW: I will be teaching
ilovefiberart ornament & cupcake classes at
B-Sew Inn in Oklahoma City & Tulsa in October & November!
Speaking of classes: After attending yesterday's webinar training on
Bernina's new
DesignerPlus Version 6 software, I can't wait to see it arrive in stores! It offers many new features such as Corel Draw essentials, 11 new fonts, freehand sketching (no repeated left-right clicking!), 106 new embroidery designs, morphing, pattern carving & echo, "halo" quilting outlining of designs (loved this feature!). The smoothing tool looks like something I could use too, as my freehand drawing seems to be less steady these days! If you love to create your own embroidery designs, as I do, take a look at this product. The next webinar is Sept. 16th 12-1pm CST.

Summer is the perfect time to express yourself with color, whimsy and texture! These embroidered and soft sculptured earrings, bracelets and necklaces are fun to make and even more fun to wear! Along with filling orders I've made a couple for me too. My favorites are the strawberry earrings & canary bracelet (though I love assorting colorful birdies on a large link necklace, too!)
