HOWDY!  actually I wanted to share this interview now up on 

Stitchin Heaven Howdy.. a blog from a cute store in Texas with quite a following! Some of you FaceBook Friends of mine have probably noticed their logo coming and going on my Wall, and have never known the nimble little internet fairy, Nichole,  who spreads her happy attitude across so many of the quilt/sewing pages! Click on the link above and hopefully you will see her! Join us both on FaceBook!! It has been more fun than I could have imagined to connect with so many nice folks from past and present! Thanks again, Stitchin’ Heaven!

Well…. actually I am stretching it a bit! Five of my handbags that is, were included in his Quilter’s Home Magazine,  ( p. 40 to be exact ) “Great Spring Designs from Hot Designers” in the new March edition! So delighted to be in the mix! It is a great article and features many other cuties! Thanks, Mark!

I am hoping all my bag loving friends will find this as tres amusant as I did!  Here is an amusing link from the “MyStyle.com” blog from written by Hollywood party gal Sydne Summer from this past Spring-

Very excited to see my handbag/tote patterns mentioned in a group of favorites in Quilter’s Buzz by Debbie Outlaw, pattern buyer for Moda/United Notions! The article by Gina Halladay is a good insight into Deb’s job, and the trends she sees developing in the world of quilting. You can use the link here to access Gina’s amazing blog. There are so many interesting postings there, it is hard not to spend more than a little time wandering around! Thanks for “the Buzz”, Deb and Gina!
