Meghan is finally making her bed! With the help of her daughter, Sophie...

I had to laugh out loud when I caught Jennifer Paganelli's sister, Meghan, in this pose- texting her fabric choices to a friend back home in Atlanta. It is so much like my little girl texting on this site, it just confirmed to me how spot on this idea is! Meghan finally chose a blue and green ensemble for her bedroom back home inspired by her collection of Virgin Mary art that she has collected from around the world.

While her image changes from continent to continent, The Virgin is almost always wearing a blue garment. The green accents will pull in the green fire place mantle also in her room. I cannot wait to get the pictures when it is done!

Sis Boom Spring Sale Presents- "GO MAKE YOUR BED!"

Well , the wonderfully generous and creative Jennifer Paganelli has done it again. She is giving me a spot at her Sis Boom Spring Sale 6/11-6/13. My husband Tim Geaney came over to take some pics before the masses come and take everything! The place looks amazing. We have a lovely little corner set up with a bed and some samples to look at, and her swatches of new fabric all over the sale, so come and pick and choose! And my friend Maritza will do duvets and dust ruffles, too!

Get out your mowers!

This new quilt and pillow set is "Fresh Cut" from Heather Bailey and Free Spirit. It's going to my super talented graphics gal, Timi Carl of Cinnamon Girl Studio. She has two more sets on the way. Everyone loves this one- even my horse Tys- who got into a fight over it with Ollie, my cat.

I know you're trying to decide on fabrics....

Too many to choose from! I have all of Jennifer Paganelli's Sis Boom available, and just go to the Free Spirit Westminster Fibers website to get really overwhelmed. It's just so great to have so many choices. The face of quilting is really changing...more modern, more variety, more color! I am getting ready to go to Quilt Market with Mrs. P (that's what my son calls Jennifer) in Pittsburgh, PA on Friday. I'll take lot's of pictures. Here we are at a local shop in Westport, CT opening where we have our things for sale. Isn't she lovely! Such a great friend... I'm so lucky.

Witchy Poo Cares!

Lovely Marie, owner of "Witchy Poo"- a delightful accessories shop here in Wilton, CT threw a festive fundraiser for "Wilton Cares", an organization to help local families in need. People brought non perishable food items and household products to deposit into the food bank. Local businesses- Dinas, Soup Alley, Zeytinias and Stefanos among others ( forgive me if I left anyone out) donated the food and wine. Jennifer Paganelli donated fabric and I whipped up a "Dorm on a Drawstring"- twin quilt, pillowcase, lavender sachet, and laundry bag/pillow case- which was raffled off later in the evening along with a really cute folk art chicken pillow- 

can't remember the name of that generous soul... anyway- it was a lovely evening and it is nice to see that Wilton does care!

My BFF has done it again.

The Saintly Jennifer Paganelli, patron saint of crafters and all things that glitter, has been kind enough to direct her parishioners to my new blog, and the old one too, for all of your custom quilting needs. She isn't even requiring that I use her fabrics exclusively- although, who wouldn't want to? Well there may be a few boys out there wanting something a bit more manly... So until my new website- "GO MAKE YOUR BED!" is up and running with shopping cart and everything- contact me directly-

Mid- Century Spring...

This was FUN! I'm always amazed at how the birds have total faith in the coming of spring. Not a leaf on a tree, dark gloomy days, rain, rain, and more rain and sleet! They start building there nests in earnest, while the rest of us moan and groan- longing for forsythia and lilacs. Well, they were right again. Spring has sprung, the trees are budding out, the forsythia is practically on it's way out, and my quilt is finished. Just in time for the new born birdies... and don't forget to put out your thread snips and little fabric bits. The birds love to decorate there nests, too, and it's magic when you see a bit of some quilt you worked on in the nest along with the mud and twigs. Quilters have been doing this for years. I promise to take a picture, next time I find one.
