    Such great feedback on the turtles! 
    It sounds like a lot of these names are making their way back into
    fashion:  Henrietta, Matilda, Penelope, Harriet, Eloise.  How awesome
    is that?!

    Here in the studio, I have
    a quilt in the works, several aprons, handbags, blankets,
    basket-liners.  It's like bathing in ice cream.  Wait till you see what
    I mean. 

    And let me just say that my
    mother is a SAINT.  She's doing more sewing than I am this week. I'm
    juggling contracts left and right, interviews, booth plans, model
    chasing (see yesterday's tweets), pattern covers, sample design — that kind of stuff.  All fun, but a juggle nonetheless. Thank heaven for mom!

  • Have you Herd?

    Make a new friend in Henrietta turtle (or skip the flower corsage and
    make a Henry turtle). Henrietta will gladly house your pins &
    needles or entertain your baby or pet — but not at the same time. She's funny that way.

    You may have glimpsed my pokey new sewing buddy in my recent interview
    on NBC. This sewing pattern is hot off the press and ready to ship. I'm
    in love. Sitting by my sewing machine, Henrietta reminds me to take my
    time and enjoy the process.

    Fresh from Bingo night, come Edna, Matilda, Eloise, Harriet, Penelope and Gladys. "Shush, dearie. Did that nice young man call B-15?" Six different materials kits available here — pattern sold separately.

    A herd of turtles. Or as my dad likes to say, "A terd of hurtles."
