Never a Dull Moment Around Here Folks!

Yes!!! I feel the relief that can only accompany the last quilt being delivered to the fabric manufacturer who will take it to market for their booth!!!! I am officially DONE!!! What an awesome feeling!!! After I left their warehouse, I did the victory dance in the parking lot!

But, I must tell you of the experience I had while photographing these quilts...
It all started a couple of weeks ago when I completed 4 of the 5 quilts. I decided to go shoot them on a Sunday at Wheeler Farms - for all of you non Utah folk, Wheeler Farms is a farm with cows, chickens, ducks, geese, goats... you get the idea.


This was the loud goose that scared me!




Well, on that particular Sunday as we braved the windy drizzle, we (me and my trusty quilt models) were greeted (read terrorized) by territorial geese and amorous ducks . We were able to get the pictures taken between raindrops and wind gusts (and I think they turned out pretty darn good too). It was quite the day. I think photographing 13 two year olds on a sugar high would have been easier... or at least as much fun!



One more of the territorial geese - he looks like he is ready to charge us.





So..... without further ramblings from me, let me introduce you all to my new Spring 2010 line of patterns:


Apple Jax made with Sweetwater's MAKE LIFE line from MODA.







Sugar Sweet made with a new line from Riley Blake called FELICITY.







Sugar Sweet a scrappy version of the one above.







Tiddlywinks (this one was originally called Perfectly Pink - I remade it and renamed it) made with 30's prints.







Mosaic made with Mrs. March line from LECIEN
.






A goose in a puddle.. see the raindrops.. that is what we faced that day.



I hope you like them as much as I do!! I am thinking of a good give-away.. So stay tuned!!!!

Happy Quilting!

Mary

i think i'll go take a nap now :)

Absolutely love your Mosaic made with Mrs. March line from LECIEN. That's beautiful and I'm going now to look at more of your patterns. The farm looks gorgeous even with the terrorizing geese :) Great Job!!

Beautiful quilts, Mary. Way to go. That is a LOT of work! I'm happy with only 2 or 3 new quilts for Market! Happy Marketing!
