We did it!!!

Our very first pattern!!!!!  It's too exciting for words and the story behind it is incredibly serendipitous.  Most of you know I taught a class a few months back for collage and journaling.
Well a wonderful young woman from Maryland came with her husband Delmar and beautiful boy Louie!  Delmar and Louie went to the childrens museum and parked Carla here with me!  After three hours of giggles and letting go,  before she left to go back to Maryland, I found out she did patterns.   Carla Hegeman Crim also known as the scientific seamstress not only does patterns but she has a dedicated following that love her to bits!!!  Carla is such a warm and loving person that I just know you are going to love her.  So the next thing I know we are partnering and the rest is history.  So Carla molecular biologist turned patternmaker has introduced me to the most wonderful people who love beautiful fabric!!!  So lets go there!

You can make this a wonderful site developed by Kimberly Christopherson that is all about regular folks doing incredible crafts.  Kim makes crafts and sewing projects accessible and fun!  She is all about getting folks to try !! She also just launched You can make this blog  Incredible right???  She has certainly found a special audience with crafters and sewers alike.  While you are there make sure to load up on Carlas other wonderful ebook patterns.  She has the applique thing down too!!   So lots of exciting things from Sis Boom.  Make sure you've entered our raffle on the previous post and get on over and download your ebook pattern of our Sophie Tunic over at YOUCANMAKETHIS.com.  Thanks for an incredible response to the fatquarter giveaway …you made me soosoo happy!! I'll announce the winner very soon. Please never forget to show us your Sis Boom on our flickr site Sis Boom Sightings!!

    Dear quiltfriend,
    I got your mailadres from http://www.quiltinggalery.com, and I have a question to you.
    My sister is, after an exiting period, finaly pregnant of her first baby.
    Now I would like to make a bright-colored quilt for her. To welcome the baby to this world
    with a quilt from patches from all over the world. I try to collect scraps of 12×12 cm (5×5 inch).
    Do you have a piece of fabric that may be suitable, perhaps you would sent it to me.
    I would really like to use it!
    Many thanks and warm greetings,

  51. Bronwyn says:

    I am very very pleased to see some children’s clothing designed for the older child – with two girls aged 9 and 11 – I never ever see designers create clothing with these ages in mind – I think a serious gap in the market! So pleased you have this tunic with fabulous fabric and colour that can be sewn for my girls too!
