Have you seen this & this???

Okay, I just have to say how exciting it was to go with Ashlee to Barnes & Noble the other day, to find this issue of Fons & Porter Easy Quilts on the shelf, open it up, and find my Jukebox Quilt Pattern inside...it's just a little bit unreal!  Awesome, exciting, a dream come true, but a little unreal nevertheless. 

Another little dream come true is Lizzy's etsy shop...have you guys seen it?  I wanted to buy everything!  Do I buy the Cathedral book in yellow leather?  Or the home print with the beautiful bird, and paper clip?  Something about birds who collect things will forever remind me of The Secret of NIMH.  And let me tell you about a show stopper...the Illuminate print...this was my Mother's day present from Lizzy, and I kid you not, it brought me to tears, it is so beautiful!  What she was able to achieve on this print seemed unreal to me.  I just kept looking at her, and looking at the print, and in some kind of dumbfounded stupor, I kept asking "how did you do this, how was this possible?"  It really is that amazing, and that they are only $30.00 is too good to be true.  This isn't something that is available in stores yet, but just a heads up to everyone.  Lizzy showed me the final images of Lizzy Dish (her first fabric line), and it is incredible!  You guys are going to flip, and then flip again, and then maybe one more time for good measure!!!  When I saw all of the color ways, and all of the different images, my mind started spinning with everything that I want to create.  It's going to be great, and everyone is going to love it.  Think old school Betty Crocker, throw in something amazing from  Anthropologie, with a dash of creative genius and you can get a vision of what Lizzy Dish is going to be!  It will be released this fall; and that is just around the corner.  Well, this is probably enough gushing from my about my super talented girl.  All three girls are home this week in what has to be a gift from Heaven.  Take care everybody!

Congratulations!! I think I will head on over to Books a Million here in town (we don't have a Barnes & Noble, doggoneit) and get me a copy. If I send it to you, will you autograph it for me?

I just bought that magazine yesterday and your quilt is definitely my favorite out of the entire issue! I want to make it. N.O.W.!! Great job! Congratulations.

Congratulations, Cherri! I think I would pass out right in the store if I saw my own work in such a great magazine.

As for the "Illuminate" print, I could barely take my eyes off of it when I saw it in Lizzy's shop. I keep trying to decide if it would make a good gift for my brother (because I can't justify gifting it to myself...but I really want to), and I know I'm going to dally too long!

AND I'm dying to see Lizzy Dish!
