It's been a good week. I had a wonderful birthday and the weather is just gorgeous-Spring flowers are coming up and life is good. Jeanne and I need to meet for coffee tomorrow and go over our lists and see where we are. This week she mailed out several orders to shops carrying our patterns and one of our main distributors. She also mailed a model of our Toto Too pillow and our Things Wall-hanging to Quilting Treasures to display in their booth at Portland's Spring Quilt Market. We are excited about that because it gives us a chance to show how their great Wizard of Oz line can be used in patterns.
But next week we need to move on to starting our marketing cycle on a new pattern and that means another coffee meeting! This new pattern is a blend of yo yo's, embroidery, and patchwork-all of our loves! Add in red/white/and blue and it's just about perfect. We got so caught up in the Wizard fabrics that we skipped over introducing this pattern for almost a month. Time to give it it's day in the limelight!
This weekend I hope to post a series of pictures from the last week-keep an eye out for them please! I hope your weekend is a great one and full of stitching fun!!!

Winners Announced!
We have 3 winners from our get-acquainted contest. We were thrilled with the responses we received and plan to do this again. So stay tuned!
#1: Khristina is a new friend from Australia who has visited the US on a 10 week trip and can't wait to get back here to select some more great fabric. She loves redwork (don't we all??) and doing smaller projects like table-runners, wall hangings, etc. Be sure to check out her blog and see what she is up to.
#2: Pat lives in Virginia and is retired. She tries to keep busy so she doesn't miss her kids and grandkids too much and visits them as often as she can. She is a beginner quilter but loves redwork (do you sense a theme here???) as well as crocheting. She fills her time with reading, gardening, and stitching and keeps an eye on her husband of 56 years so he doesn't get up to too much mischief.
#3: Nancy hails from Missouri and is also in love with redwork and quilting. She also has a blog and it's full of great photos of her family (check out the grandkids!) and quilting projects. She's been involved in some great quilting days lately and I usually check out her blog almost daily to see what she's up to.
Be sure to check out these ladies' blogs. It's a great way to meet new friends and see what is being stitched/quilted in other parts of the world. We have made some great friends through blogging.
We will be sending fat quarter packages out by the weekend and can't wait to get the reactions to the Quilting Treasures Wizard of Oz fabric. We have added another Wizard design to our new collection-it's redwork with a witchy twist! Watch for more pictures this weekend.
