Winter’s Grace . . .

Check out my new fabric line, WINTER’S GRACE, that will debut at Quilt Market this week for Mark Lipinski’s Home for Northcott. It will ship to stores in April. You can see all  of it (all 32 pieces plus 5 NEW ELEMENTS colors) on my web site by clicking here —  www.marklipinski.com.

Please, please ask your local shop owner to order it!   I hope you like it!  xoxom

Make sure that you ask your local quilt shop to order the new MARK LIPINSKI Aurifil Thread Collections, now available in the MOST delicious colors! I promise that you won’t be disappointed! It’s really the best thread out there. Besides, when have I ever not told you the absolute truth?

Also, visit me at the International Quilt Market in Houston at the Aurifil booth at 3 PM on Saturday! Can’t wait to see you, cupcake! xoxom

I’m just sayin’ . . .

Just an FYI: As of yesterday, I have resigned from my position with New Track Media and am no longer connected with Quilter’s Home magazine in any way. I am also discontinuing any involvement with Quilt Out Loud,  QNNtv.com, and Quilter’s Club of America.

Never fear: More is in the works and bigger and better things will be happening for me (and us) so keep checking out my blog and web site for updates on where you can find my next patterns, projects, fabrics, videos, shows, articles, lectures, classes, and books (and, who knows, maybe even bigger surprises!)

Quilt on, cupcakes, and do what you love!

xoxom (maybe I can actually hang out here a little more!)

If you’re interested in owning Penny’s book, ask your local quilt shop to order you a copy (it’s nice to support your local shop) or order a copy of Penny’s book  by clicking here !   I doubt you will be sorry as this a great title/technique for your personal or quild quilting library!  xoxom

Jeff, Evan and I were having a bite at the San Francisco airport when I spotted a wall mural that was created to look like a patchwork quilt (faux quilting and all) of San Francisco. I had already packed my camera, but I managed to shoot a few pics from my iPhone. Take a look. xoxom

To give you a sense of the size, here’s a pic with Jeff and Evan in it!

. . . Home again, jigity jig!

Here’s me and the lil’ pumkin in Marin County, California!

I’m soaking in a mud bath at a spa in Calistoga, California!  Ahhhhhhhhhh! xoxom

Yes, I’m taking a break, but WHERE?!?   xoxom

I’m outta here!     xoxom 

 (See?  I didn’t even realize that I posted the same post TWICE!!!  I really DO need a break! LOL)      xoxom
