Life has been a whirlwind of late, I do better when I’m busy.  Life is soooo sweet as long as I keep a gratitude dialog going all the time cause I can enter a negative zone just as easy as anyone else but being grateful has been the source of my abundance. So let’s get to it. Exciting news Joann’s will have an exclusive line by Jennifer Paganelli called Jenny Eliza in their stores in July!!!! We are just floored with your response on Facebook and please make sure you are following Jenny Eliza for every possible project we will be showing you.  They are going to kit up the quilt below and distribute through their stores!!! They will also have instructions for the pillow and jewelry so stay tuned. Be on the look out.  Also in anticipation for the new line at Joann’s we have a Facebook page set up for international friends that don’t have access to Joann’s.  Judy of Hickity Pickity’s fame beautiful daughter Katie has stepped up to assist you with purchasing the fabric and getting it to you.  Of course there will be an extra charge for her service but we all know the price of the goods and gas and overall time it will take for her to get it to you. With over 80 folks in the group she will be a busy camper. I hope you understand.

Also Fons and Porter will have a Crazy quilt made from Jenny Eliza which we will reveal very soon so watch their site for further developments.

Next up my Beauty Queen line for Freespirit Fabric is shipping and it looks like another runaway line.  Thank you my friends!!!  I am loving it so much pink and green can’t possibly go wrong.  So what are you making??  We want to see.

Also on Facebook we have a nice raffle when you like the Jenny Eliza page..Check it out here..

Tote-ally awesome

Ok, we couldn’t help it with the title– but you see what we did there, right?!

So, take a basic tote and cut out some cool geometric shapes. Here we imagined circles. Other ideas can include diamonds, rectangles, squares etc.. Here we’ve used Lucky Girl… SOON we will all be able to use Beauty Queen.. (we can’t wait a minute longer!)

Use a fabric glue or adhesive backing to tack these puppies onto a tote in a simple pattern. In minutes you can go from a basic tote… to a tote-ally awesome tote. Share you pics with us on facebook!

Betty Ann in Beauty Queen!

What do you get when you cross the Betty Ann PDF pattern with Beauty Queen‘s Valerie and Katie Stripe?! One good lookin dress!

Clearly we have our Betty Ann in a sassy pink zebra, below, but we’re now imagining it in array of stripes with a contrasting strap.

What beauty Queen fabric would you use for your Betty Ann?!

Egg Wand!

So with Easter around the corner, we decided it was time to design some fun, colorful Sis Boom eggs.

It doesn’t stop there… You may remember our free Egg-tastic tutorial from last year (fun!)… this year we wanted to add a little Ka-POW, so we made a little Sis Boom star as well!

Presenting the Sis Boom Egg Wand! Perfect for crafting up a storm with the kiddos- simply click HERE (or on the image below) to download PDF. Print on glossy paper, Cut ’em out, attach the paper to a little dowel or chopstick, and viola! For some added pizazz, definitely add some seam binding ribbon to the wand. Glitter too- why not?! Have fun and share you pics with us on facebook!

With the free download comes a handful of eggs and stars for you to cut out!

Spring Fling

The buds are budding, the sun is peaking through and those birds are definitely chirping. Spring is moments away from filling our every day with sweet smelling grass and warm, rainy days. LOVE IT!

Of course, with our Sis Boom brains, all we can think about is sewing, making, and crafting. And when we think about sewing.. and wearing… all we can think about are those Judy’s fancy pants. Light and airy with a sweet white tank and cardigan- Perfecto. Throw on some chunky pearls and bangles- viola.
What are you all working on this week? Keep sharing your comments and designs with us – we love hearing from you, always!
