Have you ever had a dream of something coming together - something you never thought possible, but the very thought of it fills you with happiness! One time when my son was little he begged, and pleaded for a dog. I finally found just the right one. He and I went on a road trip to pick up the newest member of our family. When we got in the car, and my son was holding his little dog named Sheba, and looked at me and said "Mom, now all of my dreams have come true". Well, my dream isn't on quite the same level as a six year old little boy, but it's definitely close.
As I said in a previous entry, I'm honored to be working with Robert Kaufman fabrics. Originally I thought I'd only be designing quilts to be used with their Kona Cotton Solids. As if that weren't amazing enough, I also have the opportunity to work with the super talented Amy Schimler. I love her work, and I think she is an incredible artist. When Lizzy and I were at market we saw the samples of her fabric due to be released in January. Never in my wildest dreams would I have though I'd be able to create a quilt for Amy and Robert Kaufman using her fabulous fabrics. Well, the quilt is all designed, a pattern is in the works, and I'm just anxiously awaiting the fabric delivery.
Check out Robert Kaufman's website, and take a peek at Amy's bio...what great additional to the quilting world!
I’m glad I found your blog through May Britt’s today! Wonderful, and your daughters blog too! Happy Holidays! Nicolette
