I just keep creating and loving every minute of it. I’ve got the 21 year old making fatquarters and he puts on Bob Marley and gets it done pretty quickly. Kate is packaging things up and making things pretty and I’m in my studio with the gluegun and so many ideas i feel as though I will burst. As soon as Maddie gets back to work we’ll be showcasing some of your flickr items bear with us..xo
our next pattern is about to come off the presses , We are so excited to introduce the Leighanna and the little girl who inspired it all. This little girl belongs to Cathy and is not Leighanna. Confused yet??? Cathy is one of our beloved testers and our Pattern customer service rep. Her little girl was the first to wear the Leighanna. Cathy came to us via the scientific seamstress , Carla Crim (by the way she is pumping out the bias tape with her new gizmo so go take a look) Cathy is a diehard Sis Boom fan , fun loving and loves to sew. See her wonderful blog here Sewing Story Projects . Cathy we can never thank you enough for representing Sis Boom in the wonderful professional way you do. If you ever have a technical question she’s your girl. So here is the Leighanna in poodle and lucky for you i found some here. Quilt Home. Hey Leignna tell dad to get your peasant done so I can introduce you to the world. Cathy next time we name the pattern after this pretty girl..Scouts honor. Dress or top you call it.

Lucky for you I have more to share..OK so you know the merit badges in Girls World well they make an incredible ornament..(my idea)..Just sayin..seriously why not???? Grab the book make copies of Vintage wrapping paper,the cards we got as kids (some of us) or old books or antique ephemera and start having a ball. Folks been asking try Ebay and Etsy under vintage ephemera!!!! Add tassels and personalize who doesn’t love an ornament specifically crafted towards themselves..No Brainer..I also use bits of old ornaments to create new ones and you can see glittered die cuts and beautiful seambinding ribbon make the world go round.Thanks for all your responses makes me want to give you more and more Sis Boom Love. Questions?? We answer them. Girls World is the best Holiday gift going and when you purchase from us you get a signed copy (worth lots of money some day) and we carefully wrap it in a piece of wonderful Sis Boom fabric to get you started making some George the Puppies. I tell you Amazon for gently used books is quite the price and I can’t compete. That book if I do say so myself is chocked full. Get your Holiday on..oh and yes indeedy I am watching.
I love these..so I painted some wooden trees from Michael’s then decoupaged the tree with a doily in white , trimmed and added the wonderful pin wheels from Girls World available at Target!! yup they are in there too!!!! Same with the little pixie gals behind them the pinwheels and actually a paper coaster.. A guardian Angel on a stick..gotta love, great way to tell your children they are never alone and we also stick them right into the tree..so thanks for all the lovely comments..keep um coming. We heart you all..are you new to Sis Boom??? Welcome and thanks for stopping by.
Thought I’d leave with this sweet thought to tuck those kiddos in and no giggles of any kind. When they were little I would lay on the floor next to their bed and reach up with a puppet to say their prayers and be silly. That’s the one time that I wasn’t racing around and they loved to get in bed for the puppet show. So this evening sentiment brought to you by our girl Monique. Her bed made me wistful for the simplicity of our puppet shows.
Now they’re in college and I’ve been told to not show up with any puppets.
Thanks Monique for the beauty that grabs our Attention.
I don’t know about you guys but I think Lynn Harris’s use of color is completely amazing in this quilt. The old antique gold contrasting with these warm hot hues just sends me to the moon. She calls this Mustard Melody I call it DREAMY!!! Seriously a meticulous piece of Joy!! Lynn is charming and was a pleasure to work with. I am sure you will see more and more from our gal Lynn. The photos speak for themselves and I think this could possibly be award winning!!! Sis Boom bestows high honors and gratitude to this talented lady. She teaches you how to create the square on her fabulous blog called Little Red Hen. It’s a pleasure to know you Lynn. Thanks for your take on the Poodle Collection.
