An Old Favorite

I was recently delighted when the gals over at Quilt Inspiration asked permission to post Floating Mariner on their site as part of their Winter Stars series.

I might have squeed a little. 😉

That post went up today, and I was thrilled to see my work there as well as touched by their kind words.

To celebrate, get the PDF download of Floating Mariner for half-price (that’s just $3!) through January 15 with coupon code BEINSPIRED.

Feel like making something Tree-ish?

Let’s Talk Turkey

10 Replies

It’s time to talk turkey, specifically about Turkey Talk!

So, there’s this idea I’ve had for a long, long time. It didn’t really start to take shape until after I learned to embroider for The Project of Doom. Before that time, the design was never quite right.

And then, inspiration!

My turkey was too quiet.

It was simple. He just needed a few words.

Words are a miraculous thing. Once added, I couldn’t wait to get this wall hanging made to share with you!

French Knot eye…see that embroidery is coming in handy!

Gobble Gobble? That’s what he said!

And, from the back. Guess who forgot to add a hanging sleeve? Dang it.

Why does this turkey make me so darn happy? I couldn’t say, but he really, really does!

Even Sweeter Sue

by Midge

I’ve been what you might call a little busy here lately, and I’m feeling the stress of Too Much To Do. While I love being busy, it can be too much sometimes, even for me.

Enter flickr.

When I saw Midge’s Sweet Sue quilt top over in the Sewhooked flickr grouop, it was a rush of pure happiness! I love that she made the block into a quilt top and used such fun fabrics to do it.

That’s what this post is for today, just to say thank you to everyone that has made projects from my patterns. You give me joy and inspiration and the drive to keep designing.

Fairy Tale Femmes

Fairy Tale Femmes

It took me by surprise to realize how long it’s been since I’ve shared a new pattern from the Sewhooked Shop!

Enter the latest addition to Sunbonnet Sue’s Magical Friends: Set 6 – Fairy Tale Femmes.

These lovelies are my own interpretation of some of Fairy Land’s most popular pretty ladies: Rapunzel, letting down her hair; Little Red Riding Hood, off to visit Grandma; Snow White, contemplating the poisoned apple; The Princess and the Pea, trying to get comfy; A Little Mermaid, dreaming of a human Prince; and Cinderella, fleeing at midnight.

Flickr: Halloween Hooters

Leave a reply

These fabulous Halloween Hooters were posted on Flickr by the very first person to purchase Two Little Hooters, clumsy_chord. She says the entire color scheme was inspired by the gorgeous striped binding and her plan is to find a tree branch to display it on. Love that!

You can read more about clumsy_chord’s Two Little Hooters here.

Follow-Up Friday

Leave a reply

I’m legal! I thought a photo to follow-up this blog post and this blog post was in order.

Doesn’t the plate cover look great on my new ride?

I have Sewhooked postcards on the way from a printer that are mini-portfolios of my work (this image is the front!) . These are for sharing with quilt stores in order to introduce them to my work and (hopefully!) get them interested in carrying my patterns.

This is something I’m very excited about!

If you’d like to see my patterns in your favorite store, email me with Sewhooked Postcard in the subject line with your name, mailing address and the quilt store name, and I will send you a postcard to give to your favorite store.

Everyone that requests a postcard will get a little surprise, too. Because, you know, I just can’t help it.

Just a note: I am currently only selling hard copy patterns within the U.S., but I am working on adding International sales. PDF patterns are available to all countries.
