Busy, Busy

I've been running around like a crazy woman trying to get everything in order for back-to-school. I've also managed to make a few new items in the process. These items have all made it into the shops (see link in left hand column). Maaany more on the way!

Pink and Green Lilly Pulitzer fabric quilt by: By Tillie

Sometimes I come across a seller on etsy who deserves recognition. This seller definitely falls into that category. The shop is called: By Tillie(Click on Shop Title to visit). She sells the most beautiful Lilly Pulitzer fabric quilts. She started making the quilts when her daughter went away to college and wanted her dorm room decorated in Lilly (I can relate). Her daughter's friends soon took notice and additional orders started rolling in. 

While she clearly is an excellent seamstress, she is an engineer by profession and felt that her quilt designs looked a little structured. So her son, who has an artistic eye, came to her aid and now helps her by providing the quilt layout. Together, I think they do an amazing job.

She also makes baby quilts, even Lilly quilts suitable for boys!  In the past one would be hard pressed to design a baby boy's nursery in Lilly, but with one of By Tillie's quilts as the focal point, it's a done deal. These quilts are so beautiful, they make me want to have another baby!

Home Again, Home Again

We're back from our Yellowstone/Grand Teton vacation. I'm excited to post a few photos. Unfortunately, I left my laptop charger in a Hilton somewhere in Wyoming. My laptop has all of the photos on it and I'm not able to access them without the charger (laptop's dead). No biggie though, the charger should arrive with tomorrow's mail. In the mean time, I'll share this one photo of a bear that we saw.  I borrowed it from  my sister who joined us with her family.  Seriously, if you haven't been to Yellowstone, this is the kind of wildlife that's seen regularly. It's amazing and somewhat strange, but I'll get into that later.

The shops are open again (see links in the right hand column). During this quiet spell, I'm having fun making these new little flowers that look like mums- with Lilly fabric of course.  I'll post photos of these as well and already have a giveaway in the works. You'll be the first to get the details!

Hope everyone is having the best July ever. Summer will soon be a memory. Have you seen Lilly's Fall line?? Tell me what you think.
