Before things get even crazier around here, I must report that the pincushion class
was fantastic fun. Everyone received a bag full of goodies, including
kits for a red strawberry & a velvety, pink one. There were
laminated recipe cards,
strawberry-shaped needlebooks, and fruit pincushion patterns to boot.
Two students even flew in from across the country to take my class.
With less than a week’s notice, they were signed up and on their ways
from Pittsburgh & Fort Worth! Now that’s spontaneous — and
entirely flattering. Hi Katri & Ruth!

Oh, to be able to take this class (sigh…). Sounds like lots of fun. And what a fabbity-fab-fab goody bag.
Oh Heather,
I would love to attend…so far away…

I bet that was so much fun. Heather, you have such a way of putting that extra “POP” into things!
Ahhh, I just went to all those boutiques on Saturday!
Domestic Bliss is my new favorite store 🙂
Looks like it was such a fun class! What a great idea to travel from afar to take you’re class – keep us posted on the next one.
looks like allot of fun!! making fun projects hanging with the gals and having some ice cream, what could be better!!!
Oh! You are welcome to come to the mountains of Norther California and put on a class! We’d love to have you here!
Heather,
It was so fun meeting you. The class was GREAT! I spent my Sunday evening watching North and South, dringing Diet Coke and making strawberries. A lovely evening. Now, if I would that had the fore-thought to make that fab. icecream I would have passed straight through “loveliness” and entered HEAVEN. 🙂
Thanks again. Any more patterns in the works??
That sounds like so much fun! Someday…
I’m so jealous! what a fun class you must of had!!! Come to San Diego, we need you here!!
Another vote for a Northem cali class! Well, Monterey to be exact, or even San Jose. 🙂
Any thoughts on offering up a class kit for purchase so that us from afar can have a touch of fun?
i SO wish i would have realized you were so near me. i would have loved to take this class! maybe next time. 🙂 i’m in scottsdale.
oh, i wish i could be there. it sounds like marvelous fun!
How much fun would that have been! I wish I could have been there. WOuld have been quite the roadtrip though.
Glad you enjoyed yourself!
it looks like the class was a blast.
ps. i found your blog by google searching for binding instructions for my first quilt. thanks for the help! it came out great 😉
Heather sounds like you guys had lots of fun! Wish I could have been there. I linked over to Blissful Living Studio when you talked about the class. I wish we could have a studio like that here (here being just north of Atlanta).
I will have to keep a close eye on the calendar maybe next time I can fly in and take a class or two.
I am excited for the patterns to be published let us know when we can buy them!
Any chance you will be selling patterns soon? Everytime I look at your strawberries I get an overwhelming urge to make one. Please, please, please. We need a pattern! Thanks.
The class so was awesome. Meeting you was a dream come true. And that ice cream? Ooooh babey!
that class looks like soo much FUN!!
Another request for a strawberry pattern here. I will probably never have the chance to take your class unless you are thinking about coming over to Iceland!!!!
Oh I would have loved to come to the class! I live in Mesa, but was in Nashville that weekend. I love love love the strawberries. Any chance you’ll be posting the pattern?
Aw looked like soooo much fun, wish I could have been there too!
sooooo jealous!! I wanna go too!
and oh yes, please! I would buy the patterns for those strawberry cushions in an instant! If they’re available … pleeeeeaaassseee? With strawberries on top? hee!
Oh that was so much fun!!! And so worth the trip across the states x 100! The pincushions were Fabulous!!
I’m sure my Chloe will be posting tomorrow when she wakes up and reads this 🙂
You my dear are a GEM!

Very friendly blog. Love it.
Very friendly blog. Love it.
I bet the class was so much fun – shame I’m from over the pond over it would have been a dead cert I’d have been there. I love your blog!
What a cool site! If you ever want to do a little trading for some handmade jewelry, let me know….
Thanks so much for inviting me to your Paper Crafts pool over at Flickr! I went ahead and posted my projects to it. :0) Lovin’ your blog…wish I was able to take that class. The pincushions are GORGEOUS! I need to make something like that for Christmas gifts this year.
i am so using husband’s airline “benefits” in the future…
i NEED to get to a class of your’s to inspire creativity (and just get a few nights away from the kiddos!)
You design such gorgeous fabrics.
When when when and where where where can I find the full line of your new fabrics? I have emailed some retailers who will have some of it but I want it all! The retailers don’t seem to know when it is going to arrive. Do you have any idea?
thanks!
I am dying! I have been waiting not so patiently to get my hands on it!
Joy
I’m glad you liked my paper fashion and note! I’ve been working on my fabric designs and now have at least 16 different patterns of Wild Maroona! I hope I get to meet you at Quilt Market some day so I can show you! You’re the best!!!

Cute, cute goodie bags! As the mother of a DD with LONG hair I’m stunned, I never even thought of hair blogs!! Wow! Too bad she’s a teenager now and probably won’t let me try all that stuff with her hair 🙂
They look beautiful. You should have more classes so we can show up and learn.
They seem gorgeous. I wonder how long it would take to make them.
Amazing blog. Ever considered moving to Australia?
must move south! more bliss around there….
are the patterns from ME spring avail anywhere????
i saw so many fantastically FUN designs to make for my little girls at market but can’t find the patterns anywhere???
I LOVE LOVE LOVE the strawberry, pear, and tomato pin cushions!!! When are the patterns coming out! I want to make them so bad I can taste them!
