I'm happily working on the next
block
for Parisian Summer.
Oh ...
I can't wait to get it done~
For those of you who haven't used
Transfer Eze
before...
This is what it looks like.
You feed the paper through a copy machine,
copy your embroidery design on to it,
peel off the back....
and it is sticky so you can just
adhere it to the fabric...
then start hand embroidering through it.
AMAZING!!
I probably would have given up
on hand embroidery
if it wasn't for this stuff.
A few more close-ups of this block...
We had such an amazing show in Ft Lauderdale Florida!
You know...
after running 30 days straight
with no break...
a gal gets a little weary.
But the people at this show...
pulled me right up and out!
They thanked us over and over for 'adding'
to their show...
gushed over the booth...
(which in all reality was very
low on inventory...
we were actually embarrassed)
and one lady went as far
as telling us that in the 10 years
that she has worked the show
she has never seen such an
incredible booth.
I can't begin to tell you
how a few kind words...
uplifted my spirit and soul.
Oh yes...
and I met one of my Bloggie Friends....
Sweet Linda at
What a doll she was!!
Make sure to check out her blog above.
So here are pics of the booth...
which I might add....
Ken set up ALL by himself!!
(I sat out by the pool at the hotel
drawing the next block
for Buttercream Summer)

| New Meet Me In Paris Kits |
This is what it looks like around the shoppe...
while assembling Block of the Month's
together.
Yesterday while out stocking up
more inventory...
I talked the Guitar Man
into taking me out for tea...
He wasn't too hip on the idea...
but did oblige...
The shoppe was so quaint and inviting...

| Loved these little note cards with a teabag in them... |

| Guitar Man checking us out... |
And finally....
a picture of Spring...

| God's handiwork cannot be beat! |
So it is off to Indiana tomorrow~~
Happy Quilting to all of you out there!
It is 'you' my customers
and bloggie friends...
who keep me inspired
and uplifted!
So a big hearty thank you
from little ole me....
How fun! I love the tea cup cards too! ANd it looked like a fun trip even if you did work too!
ReplyDeleteI am SO glad that you were able to have Tea! What a wonderfully refreshing way to welcome Spring :-)
ReplyDeleteYour new block looks great, I think I have to get some of that Transfer Eze. Your booth looks wonderful hon, I'm not surprised everyone loved it! And no you two do NOT look weary, you look mah-vel-ous, dah-ling!
ReplyDeleteThat paper is a grand idea....
ReplyDeleteLove love love your booths, I can never see enough pictures. Your quilts are awesome....so fun...I can see why everyone loves it when you come to their shows.
That Transfer Eze looks like useful stuff!
ReplyDeleteI don't know about you looking jaded but I think your lilac dress is lovely.
Yet again, your booth looks wonderful but always different. You deserve a break for a cup of tea - thank you for giving us a peek at the cute little shop!

The pictures all show amazing thought and talent.
ReplyDeleteI have not heard of the Transfer Eze yet. It sounds interesting.
I am going to have to google that paper because I currently feed my fabric through the printer which sometimes is more trouble than it's worth. Does it rip off easily without tearing threads...or does it wash off?
ReplyDeleteI'm with Barb, I love, love, love your booths. They always put a smile on my face. I'd love to visit one of your shows. Ever thought of coming to Canada. Hugs
ReplyDeleteYou keep me inspired! Your booth is always so lovely. I could just look at it all day!
ReplyDeleteI received my latest block this week and love it too! This is going to be an outstanding quilt!
I just bought some Transfer-Ez the other day!
Will you be in Knoxville for the AQS show I think it is in July?
Hugs,
Donna
Your booth looks fabulous. I've heard about Transfer-Ez, but haven't tried it, don't think it's in Canada yet. I'll have to order some when you get it in your shop. Hope you're able to have a relaxing weekend.
ReplyDeleteLove your blog - thank you for all the work you do to communicate with everyone. Your husband did an amazing job on the booth - just showed my husband the pics. I am very excited about the embroidery product you showed us - transfer eze and can't wait to use it. I have just started a blog of my own and would like to put it on my blog in case anyone ever reads it - haha.
ReplyDeleteHi there!

ReplyDeleteI love all things quilty but that picture of spring could not be beat!!!! Just waiting for it here in Minnesota! I looked at Transfer eze last week but didn't buy it. I've embroidered for years and wasn't sure it was for me. I suppose I should buy some and try it! :-)

ReplyDeleteI am so glad Stash Manicure featured you. You are so very, very talented. I look forward to seeing your absolutely beautiful blog and designs. You Butter Cream designs are so adorable. Love it all!

ReplyDeleteYour work is so original. I enjoyed looking at your beautiful pictures.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on a beautiful booth at the show and on Parisian Summer. I checked out your posts about the blocks, and I like the kit more and more. I'll add the feed to your blog to Google Reader and come back all the time to follow you.
ReplyDeleteGlad I met you at Stash Manicure today.
As a member of both the Embroiderer's Guild of America and the Creative Quilter's of Southern Kentucky I applaud your combination of the two techniques! The embroidery adds so much to the already beautiful applique.
ReplyDeleteLooking forward to new patterns and ideas from you!
