    ByHeather Bailey

    I'm popping in to let you know about a giveaway that's in the works. Gina from CampClem.com has been posting new projects made from my Lottie Da collection all week, including a fantastic little beret made from theses leftover quilt-block pieces (below).

    In conjunction with her blog series, Gina is giving away a Lottie Da camera-strap cover, two Heather Bailey embroidery patterns and a collection of stationery. The Camp Clem giveaway closes this coming Sunday (9/14/14) at the end of the day, so stop by soon to enter at CampClem.com.

    There are several posts in her Lottie Da series, all of which show her step-by-step process for each project:

    At the studio, we're working on new patterns for this fall and prepping to share our new fashion-fabric collection, Momentum, which ships out to stores this month. I'm watching Roman Polanski's Tess (of the d'Urbervilles) from 1979 while I work today. Or rather, I'm listening to it. The film is quite good so far—you know, should you be looking for an old Jane-Austen-ish kind of film to keep you company.

  • Hat-Flower Heaven

    ByHeather Bailey

    TinselFlowersA How
    long has it been?  Thank heaven for Twitter.  I've been on the road for
    the last 9 days, in Pittsburgh, Ohio & New York, hopping from one
    meeting to the next.  My dad met up with me in the middle there and we
    toured around his childhood neighborhoods and mine.  I lived near
    Pittsburgh till I was 4 or 5 and in Ohio till I was 8.  It was every
    bit as beautiful as I remember, or more so.  In most places, our
    next-door neighbors still lived there (wild).  I have a lot to share.  I can't wait to get back home and sort through the photos and stories.

    Yesterday,
    between meetings in NY, I stopped by Tinsel Trading Co. on 37th —
    vintage hat flower heaven!  I have some fun projects in store for this
    jackpot.  Another reason to get home soon. 

    So, after a quick
    stop by Purl Patchwork, and some other SoHo favorites this afternoon,
    I'll make my way to LaGuardia, then home.  It's been a great trip, but
    I'm ready to be back with my family and back to my list of to-dos.  We
    have some big things in store this summer.
