A couple freebies, a sneak peak & a bunnies....

It's is Friday!!  Yay!  I am so glad the weekend is upon us...I need some fun!

Here is today's freebie!

It is "Y is for Yacht"

Remember ...these would be sweet to stitch up in a kids quilt or on lil pillows.  For earlier letters in this series...go back to my past Friday posts. Fun to color as well. Copy and save.

  

Next week will be: "Z is for ____"

It's the last one in this series.

Be the first to guess the correct answer to what "Z" could stand for ....and you will get a sweet prize.  

Just make your guess in the comment section of this blog post. Be the first one to guess to get the prize.

One guess per person to make it fair! 

This is a past freebie design of mine...worth repeating!

This would stitch up super quick...frame it in a tiny hoop!

This is a sneaky peak at my next pattern design... so sweet!

Coming very soon!

I have been painting and taking an online class....so much fun.

This bunny is almost done...I am painting several at a time.

There is something about painting and not caring whether it is going to be fabulous or not....that makes you feel calm.

Have you been painting lately?

I love the bright Amy Butler fabric used in my bunnies.....it is a pattern of mine called...

Easter bunny dolls

They are super fast, fun to make and make a great gift in the Easter basket.

Talk about BIG EYES!

Any bright fun fabric would look great.

It would also be sweet in baby pastels.

The pattern also comes with the egg pins....and sayings to go on the pins.

I have already had a Cadbury egg...I couldn't help it....they are soooo good!

Have a wonderful weekend!

Vibrant Courage Flowers

Hello friend!

I have been practicing my designing skills....I want to make a fabric collection or have my designs on assorted products.  That would be heaven!  I have been learning adobe illustrator....which is fun and sometimes hard, but always worthwhile. Above is my bright pink zinnias.  I love pink!  I am drawn to vibrant colors most of the time.  These flowers give me the courage to press on with my dreams....sounds corny, but I feel its true.

Here is what this surface pattern design would look like on products....like a dress, lamp shade, pillows, and hand bags.

Here is the same design...just in a different color combinations.

I do love the background shade of green.  

Here again is what they might look like on products.  I have practiced making surface pattern designs with Halloween drawings, but this is my first repeating pattern that is for everyday.

Now that I know what I am doing ...my courage has gone up dramatically.

Are you working on something that makes you feel joyful and passionate?  I hope so!

Christmas is only one week away......I am not ready! 

Are you ?

Time for some lemon tea!

Spring Special Quiltmania

I just love how everything is blooming outside...I have a Lilac bush next to my studio door (it just showed up as a seedling a few years ago!) and the smell is to die for!

Now my nose goes a little crazy from allergies...but I don't care...I love this weather!

Above is the newest magazine that I have a project in:

Spring special Quiltmania....available at Barnes and Noble.

This is the back cover....my project is the hoops saying...Home sweet home!

This is a French publication....the magazines are very high quality....good projects, nice thick paper, great photos!

This project is sooooo bright and cheerful....free motion sewing.....it is addicting!

Here is my ad...that I was proud to design myself....the more you learn on the computer the better I think. 

 Although I wanted to kill my computer about a month ago!

I feel like mine was alive with a nasty disposition...lol.

Can you smell my lilacs now?

 

 

 

 

Home is the happiest place

Here is my newest pattern:

Home is the happiest place....

available on my ETSY

This is the journey pillow.....fun and easy.....quite addicting to do!

I am setting up at Quilt Market.....hard work!  Gotta Smile.
