In case I haven't mentioned it, things have been absolutely nuts around "The LakeHouse" here since market. I came into my studio this morning, and the bears were all waiting to see me. They wanted to remind me to tell you about a "Bearly There Special Event" that we have planned for Xmas. I will be covering this fun new project in HOLLYBLOG really soon. But I'm not quite ready to tell you the details yet, so you'll all just have to stay tuned...and keep a watchful eye ;)
It the midst of all of the excitement here with the bears, Di & Shirley & Jackie found the new Feb 2008 McCall's magazine...
Not one of you mentioned seeing the quilt that I designed that was supposed to be in there too...and since I have yet to actually lay eyes on the magazine, I am wondering if it's even in this issue?...
Meanwhile Sandy Kitty, part of Pam Kitty's posse in the Bay area photoshopped her way into the fray...I am guessing this was originally part of an internet ad (for naughty behavior?...LOL), but I have talking bears in my office, so who am I to judge?
So much more to show and tell, I can hardly contain myself!
Back in two shakes...H2
Hi Holly,
Ooops!! I did see the quilt you designed and really love it. I am sorry I forgot to mention it, but honestly I was so excited I actually found the magazine all other pertinent information seeped out of my memory banks. Thanks for the prize, I can't wait!

Are you kidding me? Of course the quilt is absolutely gorgeous! I love the color combination. Merci, Holly. Merci, PKM.

And Sandy is cracking me up.

I'm trying very hard to FORGET about that quilt 'cause while it's without a doubt the prettiest quilt I've EVER seen in a magazine, I've hardly got any of that fabric left.
But seriously--I'm with Bren on that--would love to make one for myself.

The must not have sent any of those magazines to Southern California, I have looked everyplace I can think of and can't find it. Darn!

Holly - I really LOVE the quilt you designed for the magazine. I would love to recreate it in the same fabrics. I am really surprised that McCall's didn't include the item number of each fabric in their fabric requirements, it's hard to see exactly which prints are called for from the description and tiny picture. I know I can just buy a kit from Tammy Tadd, but I was hoping to save some money and buy pieces that I can split with a friend.

Oh my Holly! When I saw that quilt you designed in the mag, I knew I had to have it so I ran right over to Tammy's site, it's the first kit I have ever bought for myself (Merry Christmas to me ;), and it is the best ever!! The color combo is TDF. It soo reminds me of MacKenzie Childs. Now to get it made is another story! hehe
Hugs,
Robin

Good morning! What a neat website!! First time for me. I have a question. I'm looking for a store close to me that sell Holly Holderman fabrics. The one in my area that I knew closed her doors. My area code is 61010. Thanks for whatever you can do. Sharon [email protected]
