Hello from Texas! Can you believe that we had snow is Houston? It was crazy! It snowed in Houston the night before I flew to Idaho for Lizzy's graduation. I went from snow to snow...who'da thunk it? Okay, I can say this because I'm her Mom, but Lizzy is without a doubt the queen of the art department at BYU-Idaho! I was able to see her BFA Show in the gallery, which was amazing! The pieces are so incredible, it brings tears to my eyes to think about her creations, and her unstoppable talent. You can check out the prints for her BFA show here.
Remember our Housekeeping special? A box of fabric goodies, leftovers from Jitterbug, Halfway Cafe, Hey Sugar, and Lizzy Dish? Well I've filled Natalie's box, and will ship it off this week, but guess what? There's still more fabric!!! I have more Andover Fabrics, some Robert Kaufman solid scraps (lots of strips), as well as some Holly Holderman Fabric! Lots of goodies, for lots of scrappy fun!
Want to win some fabric? Leave a comment (plus tell us where your from), and I'll pick two winners - one U.S., and one International...let's share this fabric wealth around the world!
I found this photo on webshots...isn't this beautiful? Hooray for snow!
Take care friends,
Cherri
Hi Cherri! I'm a new fan since I heard the interview on Annie's podcast. I am loving exploring your work & Lizzy's too, loved the duet your girls sang on the podcast... you seem like the kind of ladies I'd love to have for a friend! Would love to win fabric too... that would be a bonus.

Oh, pick me for the US! This weather is completely crazy this week...snow in places that don't get snow, it's unseasonably cool in LA even! I go back in one week to visit family for the holidays, and I'm really hoping to see some good (and clean) snow, and go sledding! Wheee!!!

well it looks like i am the first person -- here's hoping that the random number generator thingy picks my number -- I could really really use that fabric.

Hi, I'm Andi from Melbourne in Australia.
I follow quite a lot of blogs from the northern hemisphere so it's fun watching everyone's snow photos. It's supposed to be summer here but we seem to be having lots of rain instead. At least my garden is happy!
Andi :-)

I Cherri,
I am from a little country town in QLD Australia and I love reading your blog.
It is so wonderful receiving fabric in the mail. I'm like a kid at Christmas. I am hoping to get to meet you in Houston when we come to exhibit at Quilt market in October.
Thankyou for the chance to be in the draw.
Cheers
Sue Daley

How wonderful for you that you were there with your Lizzy, and such stunning art work. You must be an extremely proud mum. I'm here in the US and would love to relieve you of some of those fabric scraps. Adore the snow photo, we don't get too much here in Oklahoma, and being an Aussie girl living here snow is one of the things I'd love to enjoy on a regular basis in the winter time.

Yeah... snow. We are sweating right now here in Virginia. I think the weather in the world is on shuffle. Can we have some of your snow?
Posted by: Penni | December 19, 2008 at 07:33 AM
Please send some snow to Northeast Tennesee! My kis are dying to go sledding and it's in the 60s here. Would love some fabric to start a new project after christmas. Lori in Unicoi, TN.

Kathy J in very snowy Michigan. Lizzie's art is very cool. She must have a lot of patience for such fine work and you must be very proud of her, too! I can see why she says she 'misses' seeing her work. By the way, I'd be really very happy to relieve you of your unwanted fabric! ;o)
Posted by: Kathy J | December 19, 2008 at 06:37 PM
Hi Cherri!
Snow, snow and more snow here in Milwaukee, WI. But it's pretty much the norm between November and April. Today is my birthday and I'm hoping the snow won't put a damper on the festivities!
Happy sewing,
Michelle

Oh Wow! I sure could use this. I'm a new quilter. My mom and grandma have been trying to get me to quilt for years and years. Well, I decided to go for it and now I'm hooked! But we can't tell my mom and grandma yet because I need time to figure things out for myself. I just work better that way. Could you work with two kind but kinda bossy women hovering over your sewing machine? Also, those two nice ladies are getting some of my new handiwork for Christmas.
Oh, and I love your daughter's work. Ultra talented. And I'm sure all your girls will be thinking of you on Christmas. You are such a good mom to let them stretch their wings.
And I'm from College Place, WA.
