2 Short of a Dozen Holiday Boutique

Hey all. I'll be participating in a holiday boutique show in Wayzata this weekend. It's going to be super fun and full of crafty loveliness. For more info and to check out the 10 artist's work visit the 2 Short of a Dozen Holiday Boutique blog. I'll be there all day on Saturday, I can't wait!

I'm in the Storque!

Check it out peeps. I was in an Etsy Storque article a couple of days ago! The lovely Linzee McCray wrote the piece about Textile Trends at the International Quilt Market. And one of those trends was embroidery, woo hoo! I got to chat with her about my embroidery kits and she took a pic of me with my big hedgehog pillow. You can read the entire article here.

My Saturday...

Snowkitty - made by Alyssa & Jon from Studio Collective on Vimeo.

...was spent making a Snowkitty. Hah! It snowed 6 inches on Saturday and only days before I had the windows open because it was so nice out. That's the Minnesota fer ya! Here is the hub's video he made of it all. Tee hee!

Quilt Market post number 1 (finally!)

I'm FINALLY posting about Quilt Market. I'll be doing a couple of posts even though I didn't get that many photos, so stay tuned. Above are some pics from my booth. You can see my new products that I'll soon have up on my website and etsy. They are three little dog embroideries and an alligator toy sewing pattern. I'm super excited to start offering sewing patterns! I'd love suggestions on what animal you'd like a toy sewing pattern for next. I'm thinking a jellyfish might be fun, but I'm not sure yet. For the booth I took photos of the dog embroideries and printed them huge to hang on the wall, and people kept coming up to them because they thought I actually embroidered them that large. Heh heh. Now I totally want to. I think it'd be fun to have a big bedspread with one of the dog embroideries on it. I got to meet a bunch of my twitter/blog/store friends. I definitely had a great experience and can't wait till the Spring one in Salt Lake City. And my big news...I'll be doing a line a fabric with Clothworks that will be coming out next year. Eeeeeeeeee!!!!!! I'm so excited!

Where am I?

I've been super MIA lately, gah! I've been absolutely consumed with my preparations for the Fall Quilt Market. I'm super excited about my new products and I can't wait to share! I also have some fun bit of news to reveal as well, but it all has to wait until after I get back. To make up for my MIA-ness, I'm going to have a little giveaway right when I get back from Houston. More info on that to come. I sent my booth off to Quilt Mmarket on Friday and now I've been playing catch up with all the things that I put off while I was busy prepping. I stayed up way to late on Friday and Saturday frantically designing greeting cards for the manufacturer I work with, and yesterday was another late night working on some embroideries for an exciting new project. Again, I can't share all the info yet (annoying right) but here are a couple of sneak peaks of the two embroideries. I'm hoping to blog more regularly again after Quilt Market. Thanks to all of y'all who've been patient and stuck with me. :-) I'll be tweeting at Quilt Market, follow me here if you'd like all my updates.

Artist: Ana Belen Salatino of Merry Blues Art

It's almost that time of year again (although you wouldn't know from the 80 degree weather we had here over the weekend). Time to start thinking about the holidays. Check out these eco-friendly, Warm Winter Greetings cards from Ana Belen Salatino of Merry Blues Art. They are printed on 100% banana paper made from agricultural waste–meaning no trees!
