Busy, Busy Bees!



The bumblebees are buzzing away in the flowers....  They have so much pollen on their legs, it's amazing they can fly!! 
I've been stitching away on class samples for this summer's schedule...
Janice and I have been busily working on "Snow Flurries", a quilt that will be covered with snowflakes and other icy "brrrrr..." things and sparkling with crystals, beads, and Sparkle floss!

The little mama bird at Jan's house has laid her eggs...can you think of a more appropriate place to build your nest??
Honeybunny and I have been writing patterns.... how can I even THINK of getting anything accomplished without a kitty on my shoulder?

The Garden Girl in Yakima is busy BLOOMING!!!!

I was busy with my trusty VISA card....these are now in front of the studio....I'm so addicted!
Seriously!.... how could anybody NOT be enchanted by this shop? My fabric just arrived (YAHOO!!) from my new fabric line for Lecien!!!!!  It's called "Inkwell", and I LOVE it....and we're busy, busy, busy trying to get the sample stitched for "Vintage Tin" and the other patterns that will be coming out in July that use the new line.  I'm SO EXCITED!!!!  I hope you'll like it as much as I do.....we'll take some pix and show you a little bit later!!!   Boy oh Boy....I feel a GREAT summer coming on!!!!

I'm in love with the new quilt. I can't believe Honeybunny sits like that. My cat would last about 1.2 seconds! Beautiful flowers.

How wonderful to see a picture of Hunnybunny again!! It has been quite awhile since you've posted a picture of that little darling!! Love all of the pictures of the gorgeous flowers. I'm very intrigued by the piece you are making for your summer workshop. It looks beautiful! I hope it will eventually become a pattern that we can purchase. Hint Hint!!

The new quilt is amazing - love the "icy" colors! I am new to quilting so not sure if I would be up to it, but it needs to go on my list.

I love your posts. You seem to always be able to capture the magic of nature. I guess it is that artist's eye--the same thing that helps you to draw beautiful patterns. Some of my favorites are of the seasonal flowers. Love them! Thanks for sharing your talents.

The picture with your cat on your shoulder is priceless. One of my cats was a shoulder cat. They are special.

I love the flower stitchery and techniques! Do you sell the pattern for those of us not able to sign up for classes?

I usually release patterns used in classes eventually. These flowers are in several pattern though, such as the Gardener's Alphabet!...and NO SUSAN!!! You funny girl! Somebody is really going to think that the Snow Flurries quilt is going to be raffled off!!!! Emails!!! We'll get EMAILS!!! LOLOL!!!!!
