New Quilt and Spring Market

I know I have been bad. The blog has been neglected again. To tell the truth I am not much of a writer. Anyone that knows me can tell you I love the phone. I can multi task while on the phone doing dishes, cooking, ironing and of course sewing. I hated writing assignments in school. I liked math. There was one answer. You were either right or wrong.

I think you will all be happy though. I completed the newest quilt for the Lunch Box Quilts line. It is called “Autumn Wind”. The large quilt looks like the wind is blowing the leaves across the fabric. There also is a smaller wall hanging size. Both were very well received at Spring Market.

I did attend Spring Market in Pittsburgh with my husband, Mike. I drag him out for the shows. He helps set up the booth and tear it down. Most importantly he runs the computer taking orders. This frees me up to do what
I like best, talking. I enjoyed catching up with all my customers and meeting new customers too. I had planned to take pictures of everyone in the booth. Well I started talking and forgot. Here are a few pictures, when I remembered to take out the camera.

This delightful person is Erica from Erica’s Craft and Sewing Center in South Bend, Indiana. She was one of my very first customers and helped me to get my patterns distributed through Brewer.


Next is Cathy from Snip and Stitch Sewing Centre in Nanaimo, British Columbia, Canada. We had never met, just emails and phone calls. It was great fun to finally meet her.


Last but not least is my buddy Jeanne from Bernina of America. She is the Director of National Events. She amazes me with energy! I always enjoy seeing her at show.


There was a lot of energy at Spring Market. We had the best vendors surround the Lunch Box Quilts booth. We all got along great. Our neighbors to the left from Marlous Designs loved Mike. He was their human ladder helping them get their purse samples up and down. Across from us was Mountain Peak Creations. I gave them a hard time for stopping all my customers with their free pattern coupon. The there was Ted from Gutermann Thread. He gave me grief that I had a sandwich every day and didn’t get him one. A good time was had by all.

Last I want to tell you that Mike, the human ladder, also keeps the website up to date. He does remind me of my lack of blogging. Anyway he has put a new feature on the blog were you can become a friend of my blog. Then you will get updated when I blog, hopefully often. Until next time!

Keep your sewing machines stitching!

I am really excited about your latest quilt. It is gorgeous, but...of course. I adore the little wind spits swirling among the leaves.

Sheeee's baccck! So I heard, "Dinner out, dinner out, and more dinner out." at Janome. I guess that means double walks around the block. What is comming up next in your creative corner?
