I love Mary Fons

Ok it’s no secret.  I just love her heart and her ability to make you feel welcome and part of something great.  She is so super excited about life, about love, about quilts!!  Most of you know her through her show Quilty on PBS.  Recently I had the good fortune to meet Mary when she came to my home about two months ago and I tell you It was if I knew her my whole lifetime.  It was girl talk central and I just so enjoyed her company As well as my all around Gal Pal Susan Morgan who introduced us.  Believe me an overnight was not out of the question but they had plans the next day. …. I pictured us in (what else)  Pajamas getting CRay CRay.  What can I say?  I actually had the opportunity to fly to Iowa yup with Springs Creative for the Jenny Eliza Brand for JoAnns Fabric and Craft and tape a PBS show for Fons and Porter..yes!! in the same exact room as Marianne Fons and Liz Porter, I know I know I know…so giddy and trying to act professional when inside I was like Check Me Out!!!!! So Mary has just come out with an amazing Quilt Book called Make + Love Quilts and will be signing May 20th at City Quilter in NYC from 6-8!!  That’s a big deal and a big honor for anyone.  She is so approachable so fun and so easy to be with oh and did I say her quilts are divine??  I meant to open with that.  Please go to her facebook watch her gorilla marketing style video for Make + Love Quilts and her opening a fedex package  with her book inside and then you will see why I love her so much.  Like all of us in the SisBoomer Jenny Eliza Family we know how to have fun…Fabric and quilts just make us fun to be with!! Oh and get a daily dose of Mary at her blog PaperGirl !

Happy Quilter

The Dress Heard Round the World

Oh my, it was just another day, dedicated to getting all the work done before bedtime, Know what I’m sayin???  And just getting on with it I was distracted by a video clip Carla sent me that showed the Duchess of England at a playdate in New Zealand, one of our favoritists places that seem to eat up all the fabric we send them. 🙂  In this clip I noticed a flash of fabric that looked like mine but couldn’t be sure because of all the movement and people in the way..Yes they were in the way of the perfect shot of the perfect dress…(the way I saw it) so what if it was the future King. (outtheway)

anywho….the still shots started rolling in and for sure it was our fabric and we were soooooo excited but the important thing for me was to find the creator of the dress because that’s who deserves all the praise!!!  And find her we did!! Alana Garland please stand up!!! We are so grateful to you for this beauty shot..nice going !!!  I hope you sell a zillion two!!!  To all of New Zealanders we thank you for finding the future princess..no doubt in our minds..she is exquisite!
