Coming Together was released and it was inspired by a Scandinavian print I saw on Pinterest. As soon as I saw this print I thought I could translate it into a quilt and I did. It looks quite a bit different..as it should. This is fun to make and easy!

I am using American Made Brand Solids for all of my solid fabrics in my patterns. I believe in supporting American companies when I can. Plus I love the product and colors.

You can click on the ETSY button on my side bar, or the store tab on my over head bar…Or you can click on this link to access my ETSY shop: HERE.

This is “Better Half” This is one of my favorite designs….it comes with instructions for 2 sizes. A wall hanging size and this bigger size. I custom quilted the lager one and quilted an all over design for he smaller size.

This is Moon Tree. I love this design because it’s actually the first quilt I designed from scratch and knew I wanted to design quilts as a business. I just didn’t know how I was going to construct it at first ..so I fine tuned everything and figured it all out. I am very happy with this.

This is “Which Way”. This one is so cool! I designed it kind of in a weird accidental way and I loved it so much that I have been waiting to make it and I finally figured it all out. It has movement and lots of color …my favorite things.

I also released “entwine”

I think that this would make a great wedding quilt for the modern couple. but it’s also just a great modern quilt …you can change it with the colors of your choice and personalize it.

here’s a better picture of the quilting:

I have a few more coming out this week. “Stacked” and “Balance”

I also had 3 projects accepted for magazine publications last week …I am in the 25+ now….I am starting to lose count…crazy, right?

I also found out today that a leisure arts book that I submitted designs for a specific call they sent out They accepted 2 of my designs to feature in the book. There were only 12 chosen. So I kind of feel blessed that I got 2 spots.

My editor said that there is a very-very slim chance that once they get everything ready for publication there could be some cuts. It has happened before ..but she just warns everyone. So crossing fingers that I get to keep my 2 spots. I think that is just a warning for every one….but she also assured me that since I have 2 spots it’s unlikely that I would be cut.

So yay!

I have been praying to God to lead and direct me. I have some other things happening. I also have my own ideas for a book proposal and I have started working on those projects so that I can get everything ready and prepared. I have no idea where it will go ..If anywhere. But I will kick myself if I don’t try. So I am diving in and I will share my progress along the way with all of you. I truly appreciate the love and support.

I will never forget who I am, where I came from ….I will always share my path so that I may inspire all of you to follow your dreams as well. If I can accomplish my dreams, I think anyone can. God is with me every step of this way and I thank him even when I feel disappointed or that I didn’t get this opportunity or that…he knows what is best for me and my journey. So I will keep working until I figure it out. I realize this is difficult and a lot of work, struggle, & rejections along the way. But I am focused on making it happen.

There is the long & short of it all. I will keep you posted.

Blessings to all of you!

Charisma
