Drum roll....
::A few little thank you gifts for the girls who attended my textile workshops::
I had so much fun, it really was a relaxing 'me time'/designy/craft session for all of us. I made the patchworky goodies for them to highlight just how awesome their textile designs were... included are their very own designs! the overlapping circles, leaves and pink moose were all designed by the gals ..... I then mixed them up with some of my other favourites to make pouches and coasters.
After the big month of 'Chris'... (the month where he is studying so madly that we all go a little mad) things are slowly getting back to normal... as in normal piles of mess rather than the gigantic ones we have now! I am looking forward to some well earned time with my sewing machine.... (and you thought I was going to say family!) speaking of which.. a little Moopy update for friends and fam living far far away... she has started pre-kindy... loves it! and writes her own name! how exciting.
wow!!! your pouches are soooo beautiful!!!

Your class sounded wonderful and the pouches turned out great!!! I wish I lived near you! Congrats on the start of a new school year to your daughter... once they start school, the next thing you know, they're almost grown!!! (I just LOVE that age so don't bury yourself into your sewing too much ;)
Your projects are always awesome... I'm a BIG fan of yours!!!

Thanks for 'posting'. I'm the one who whined about it yesterday. I would love to take your classes... love your fabrics. Are they silk-screened?? I think the moose fabric is 'a keeper'!
Creative love to you from Wisconsin,

Hello !!!
What a pleasure to see such beautiful things !!!! i'm from france and i was thinking to myself that it's so hard to find people who makes nice stuff and who are able to show it well !! the talent is not only a story about having ideas, but also to go at the end of a project. In france, people are lazy !!! so keep on showing such nice stuff !!!
see you poum !!
