Quiltmaker & Lambmaker
thanks to all who have stopped by to read my blog.
Well, I promised exciting news in my last post and here it is (very exciting to me):
one of my pincushion & sewing book sets has been included in the September/October issue of Quiltmaker Magazine (page #56)! Yay!
I made a trip over to Pacific Fabrics last night to stock up on sage green thread and there was the issue in the store. The nice folks at Quiltmaker have mailed me a copy and it’s on it’s way, but this was the first time I had seen it in person. I was so excited I told the clerk while I was checking out and she politely fussed over it. But when another customer came over to stand behind me and the clerk said “Look at this magazine – she’s in it, we have a celebrity in the house.”
I was completely embarrassed and practically ran out of there……
….which was probably for the best. I can’t have the paparazzi following me home!
; ) So, that’s been a bit of excitement over here.
And then, this morning my sweet friends Christina and Maia let me know that my Etsy shop has been mentioned on Indie Fixx!
Wow! That is so cool!
So a big “Thank You!” goes out to the great people at
Quiltmaker magazine and Indie Fixx : )
*********************************************************************************************************
I did have the foresight to make more of the pincushion/sewing book sets that are in the magazine. At the moment I am out of the little bee charms that I used on the pincushion. So I have three that I’ll be listing in my shop today.
For those of you following my lamb plushie crusade, here’s the latest installment:
I made another mock-up the other day.
You’ll notice that this one is… well, blue.
That’s because I didn’t want to use any more of the fuzzy fabric that I’m saving for the final ones. So instead, I used this blue fabric that I had.
Josh took one look at this one and said:
“It looks like he’s been shorn and he’s blue because he’s cold!”
Haha! Poor little lamb.
Had to share a shot of that cute lamb tail!
So now I am ready to start working on the little quilts that will go with the lamb.
I will be doing ALOT of fabric cutting today.
The quilts will be about 12″ x 12″ 10″ x 10″ when they’re done.
But first, a trip to the post office, grocery store and possibly the coffee shop!
Thanks again to everyone who reads this.
Thanks so much for stopping by! : )
Best – Jenn : )

Yup, that was my group of picks over on Indie Fixx…I bought one of your sewing books and a pin cushion and just loved them so you were definitely on my list of favorite indie sellers!

Congrats on your magazine appearance. I found your cute pincushion and needlebook in my issue. How exciting!

Whoa! She made to the printed page! Awesome! Your husband cracks me up. You should make a little bag of wool to set next to him to go along with the nursery rhyme “Baa, Baa, Black Sheep”. The tail is adorable and got a pretty audible “aww!” from me.

Wheee, what terrific news! Now I have to go look at Quiltmaker. And I was just in Pac Fabric this afternoon! Now I have a good excuse to go back! Well done, Jenn!
