As you may have remembered I mentioned that I was approached by a fabric company at market, interested in my doing a line for them. Being the good business person, I call said company this morning to follow-up. I am keeping this close to my chest in case it doesn't pan out, but trust me you will be the first to know if it does.
Like again a good professional, I gave the product development director copies of my dvd's. Hoping this would be a good way for her to see how I work and some of my quilts, I was keeping my fingers crossed.
Tick or Treat! She loves the work...wants the line to look just like my quilts....at our first conversation she mentioned only six designs. Now she is saying send her all I would like for her to see and then they will start the approval process. Can you tell I am astounded, excited and flying without my broom?
Going to spend several hours every morning in the studio playing with designs before I send off the final selections for her approval. Quilting at night to get Sea Stones finished...and already started pulling fabrics off the shelves to give away for the studio clean up. Nothing like a little kick in the butt to get you going.
Don't scare too many of the kidlet tonight...it is cold and damp here...so we arent' even going to bother.

Can This Studio Be Saved
First, can you tell I am avoiding sitting down to quilt....sigh! Absolutely, the last post today. In a moment of madness, I decided to join Julaine's clean your studio challenge. Remember I am already in cleaning mode. However, until I veiwed the pictures, I had no idea what I was getting into. Isn't there some quote about creativity and clutter? If not, let's think of one quick.
My old motto was a cluttered studio is a cluttered mind....you know, can't find anything when you need it...spend more time hunting than working.
Of course, I have a good rationalization...trying to get several pieces ready to quilt and then getting ready for market. My grandmother would have suggested, "Clean as you go." Sorry grandma, I missed that mark.
Now you can all feel better...where I work is a 12' x 12' room and look at all the clutter you can get into such a small space. More importantly, we all share the same disease....somehow we can take comfort in that....or maybe we should be afraid.........very afraid at what is under all that mess.
Shutting up now....simply must quilt.

Change of Landscape for Fall
Okay that's the good news. The above studio pictures will scare you right out of your socks. Doesn't yard guy do a great job? That is my one household indulgence; although, a maid would probably be a better investment. However, I just love driving down the cul-de-sac (our house sits in the center) and seeing the beauty of a well-kept and designed yard. Basically, it's a fake out....makes the neighbors think that if the yard looks that good the inside of the house has to be just as wonderful. Heh, heh, heh...fooled them.
Collin and Cyrus Celebrate their First Birthday
Forgive me the proud grandma pictures but I couldn't resist. Yesterday was the twins first birthday....a good time was had by all. Didn't get any cleaning or sewing done but got to spend the afternoon adoring the boys. Promise to put up dirty studio pictures for Julaine's challenge soon. In the meantime, sewing today. Thanks for indulging me in the birthday photos.
