I purchased this armload of quilting fabrics at the Stitcher's Garden quilt shop in Pueblo, Colorado, while on vacation recently.
One of our favorite rituals after visiting a quilt shop is to have lunch and compare yams, er, fat quarters. We had a delicious Italian meal and enjoyed our latest acquisitions.

Detail of Handwoven Placemat, Twill Weave
This is a detail shot of my first finished cloth from a weaving class taken a few years back, cotton weft and warp, woven on a Schacht 4-shaft table loom rented from my weaving guild. I now own quite a few looms--both table and rigid heddle looms and one beautiful cherry wood floor loom.

Josef Birthday Angel 9
A gift for my niece, who, although she won't be 9 until next year, was born on August 9th.
My sister and I found this angel and the #10 birthday angel at one of our favorite antique malls. Both vintage pieces have some damage, but not enough to detract from their essence. We gave this one to my niece yesterday as one of her early birthday presents, and she loves her.

Just a quick post with a glimpse of a work in progress. I have to complete the closure in the back and have a photo session with one of my Blythe dolls tomorrow. Ciao!

Issey Miyake Pattern
As a result of my spring cleaning, I have found a few patterns in my archives that I am releasing to good homes (and seamstresses/collectors). Among them is this stylish Issey Miyake coat pattern. Also currently available are dress patterns by Givenchy, a classic Perry Ellis summer ensemble, an elegant Chloe cocktail dress, and an Oscar de la Renta suit. More to come!
