The Stock Multiplies

With a lot of help from my friend Marybeth, we added a lot of fabric to the shelves this week.  Mostly we've been freshening up the stash and re-pricing, although there are a few new pieces on the shelves now.  Here's the progress so far:

Pretty good for 3 days work.   Thanks Marybeth!

Countdown to Port St. Lucie Show

We're in the countdown to the Port St. Lucie, FL Quilt Show, so we've been preparing fabric...

Bill has pressed these and they're ready to be cut and priced.

Here's our starting point; this is about 600 yards of fabric that was dyed previously.  Let's see how much we can add to this inventory by showtime.

Here's the heart of the operation, Bill--our super pressing machine. 

Lately...

Let's see...lately I've been doing a lot of this...

Yep, making pretty things.

Happy New Year!

Merry Merry

Whichever holiday you celebrate this month, have a peaceful and joyous holiday season!

Preparing for 2012

I've started dyeing fabric for 2012 after a nice long break.

 It feels good to be busy and have color all over the house when the weather is gray and cool.

Bill on His Own

My DH Bill had his own sales booth at Hendershots:  Coffee, Bar, Misic & Art on Sunday...

His worked looked great and he had some sales! 

Creative Characters

Last weekend our group of ladies gathered at Tracy's house to play with surface design methods.  I carved some simple stamps and most of the ladies printed on linens with their stamps...

This is Mary Ann's hand dyed fabric with print applied.  Isn't it beautiful?

Some of these are Tracy's pieces

These are my prints, including a chop (signature stamp) I made previously

Fun!
