\u00a0WHOOOOPEEEE! It finally came! Can you tell that I was pretty excited when my box of new FreeSpirit designs arrived on Thursday? It is called Early Birds. Some collections just feel good from the start and this is one of those. So let’s open this treasure box and see what’s inside.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n
It usually takes a while to get reacquainted with your designs because it has been months since the artwork went off to the factory. But this time they felt like old friends. Look at those COLORS!<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n

Of course, a mother has to love her children, so I’m biased. This is one of the designs that will also be done in oilcloth (laminated fabric). I see some fabulous tablecloths in the future!<\/div>\n

<\/div>\n
Naturally, you have to stroke and caress each one as it comes out of the box… and then do it all over again as you sort them into their proper stacks.\u00a0The beautiful hand of FreeSpirit fabrics makes it a tactile feast as well as a visual one. Then you have to unfold them and fondle them some more. Heavenly!<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n

If you would like to see the whole line, visit my website<\/a>. It is still under renovation, but the fabrics are all posted for your inspection. If you like what you see, pass the word to your favorite fabric store. The fabric will be available in November and they can see it in person at Houston Market, with their Westminster representative or on the FreeSpirit<\/a> website.<\/div>\n

<\/div>\n
The other nice thing that happened this week was that the October\/ November issue of Quilter’s Newsletter arrived with my article about designing fabric! \u00a0And if you go to the Quilter’s Newsletter <\/a>website there is another fun article by my good buddy, Nancy Arseneault<\/a>. We are both Day of the Dead devotees and there you can see and read about her wonderful new Beauty Parlor de los Muertos Quilt<\/a>.<\/div>\n
