In the midst of all of the other post-market things to do, I've designed a new bedroom ensemble (quilt, accent pillow, shams, etc.) for Amercian Patchwork & Quilting's June 2008 issue (newsstand April). Here's a little sneak peak at a couple of the items that we'll be sending out tomorrow...Kathleen Nitzsche and Cheryl Winslow did the lion's share of the work (thanks gals), but I managed to find the time over the Thanksgiving weekend to piece the little checkerboard pillowtop below...It's a bit of a "Charlie Brown Xmas tree" compared to the quilt...If I do say so myself,the quilttop is "supercalafrajalisticexpealidocious" (which is to say, something about it reminds me of the beds in Mary Poppins!)
Lots more to show and tell in the weeks ahead: be there, be square, see the bears, see the bee...now ten times fast!
Back in two shakes...H2
it's so beautiful!

It's gorgeous Holly. I'm loving sewing with the new ranges. They are just divine!

Oh my... I hope my son is having a "Princess". This would be so divine. I'll know next month.

I love it and the green/yellow color is fabulous.

Wow!
I am glad that so many of you are liking this new project.
I only showed a smidgeon of what is to come...hope you all like it as much when you see the final outcome.
It's very pretty and fresh...but has a master bedroom feel to it... (that is, if you are with a man who loves what makes you happy)!
IMHO, most hetero men's taste should be restricted to their office and TV room only...(now we should really get some comments!)
Best,
H2
