Dreaming of Being a Quilt

I was, indeed, having the most lovely dream. Of course, quilts and my fabrics were part of that dream. Then, someone woke me up right in the middle of that dream and reality struck. I actually have proof of my dreams....These are some of the "to-go-withs.." that are not as exciting as the focus fabrics, but, they are the supporting characters. More to come... OH OH OH. I just discovered something neat. Did you already know that if you click on the images that they enlarge ?!?!?! That is too cool. Please, if you have not already done so, go back and enlarge the stripe from the earlier blog. It was one of my faves. Again, thanks for checking in and joining me on my downward slide from fame and...well, there was no fortune. And, of course, I did not have far to go so you don't need to call 911 . Sniffle, sniffle.

Quilt Fabric Wannabes

The first image is part of the quilt design that I was hoping to make. It is a panel then the green polka dot and the black stripe are coordinating pieces that were also some of the "turn downs. " The cherries and the stripe are in that group, too. I will add most of the others in the days to come.

Maybe one of the reasons I do not typically
like blue is that it is associated with feeling
down. Well, right now my whole world
feels blue.

New Fabric Designs

Yippee. I was just notified that Timeless Treasures has decided to "experiment" with me and try some of my fabric designs. I am now, "officially," a designer. They bought six different designs. Please say a little prayer that these sell so I do not look like one BIG MISTAKE for them. It would be soooo embarrassing for my designs to be sitting on a shelf, lonely, unpurchased, all alone. I would definitely cry. I am beyond excited, beyond nervous.

Cotton Corner Quilt Show

As usual, I have a list....right at the top of the list is "preparing for the Cotton Corner Quilt Show in West Monroe, LA," held this weekend. If you have read any of my other Threads, you can probably predict where I am heading with this. As usual, I have been avoiding anything that even hoped to make it to my list. I have been working on more fabric designs and I just started another basket. Since I am a newbie to this version of blogging, I will have to check and see how to add images. My "image-maker, a.k.a, husband, just left this afternoon for New Orleans. Yikes, I am on my own, gulp.

As for the progress on my fabric designs, I just got my first rejection. I submitted my babies to Blank Quilting and they kindly told me, "Thanks, but no thanks." Today, I emailed them to Clothworks. How about I keep you up to date on my list of rejectors/rejections. I expect the list will grow like Jack's beanstalk....very quickly. I definitely gotta get some big girl panties because I am going to need them -- rejection brings out my inner child for all to see.
