A New Color Way for Mystery Block of the Month

Parisian Summer

 This color way is now available to sign up for.

The quilt will be just like Buttercream Summer...

only in different fabrics.

I had special requests from several customers

to make this up in a second colorway....

so

I've been working away at it.

Gotta keep those customers happy!

You can sign up for it on my website.
Ken is going to get me a link up today sometime.

Now to show you a little of our life...

as we work in a place with no furniture...

and only the stuff from our trailer

that we toodle around from show to show with!

Here  I've made myself a 'Makeshift Studio"

until my  'real' stuff gets here...

 Ya know....

a woman's gotta do...

what a woman's gotta do!

My sewing table is set up in front 

of the window

where on a clear day...

one can see the

Nashville skyline...

Too foggy today though...

Tory and Ken have set up a makeshift

work area in the family room

off of the kitchen...

T-Bug's hard at work...

filling hundreds of orders

from Quilt Festival

and PIQF...

She's making Black and White Whimsy Lane kits

today...

For now...

the fireplace is the only 'seating' we have

except for 3 chairs...

Ken went and picked up.

He was thrilled with the chair he found for me...

I told him...

"Ken....this is a handicap shower chair!"

Men!

We brought in all of our 'show' tables...

so we'd have something to work on...

Fabrics I am using to design Buttercream Summer

I will be one blessed woman...

once I get my things...

and can properly set up shoppe!

But for now...

beggars can't be choosers!

Now to tell you about the 'people' in Nashville...

they can't be beat folks!

One sweet blogger who I happened upon in Blog Land...
 Confessions of a Fabric Addict!

Lives in Tennessee!

I emailed her...

and what a sweetie...

she gave me her phone number

and told me to call her when I got to town!

I did...

and I can't wait to meet her.

Make sure to check out her great blog.

She is involved in a Quilt Ministry

and has even invited me to come

and sew with her group!

She also gave me some ins and outs about

Nashville.

Like....this isn't East!

This is South!

They are not Easterners here...

They are Southerners...

I've been telling everyone that my dream

to move back East has finally come true.

I stand corrected!

I am now a Southerner...

And oh so proud of it!!

Can't wait to meet you Sarah!

Thanks so much for welcoming me

to your wonderful state!

The neighbors stopped in yesterday...

he is a TV producer

and his mom owns a hair salon

down the road.

She's in her 80's

and quite a hoot.

She lives behind us...

he lives beside us.

They were showing us where Lee Greenwood

used to live...

2 houses up from us...

and pointed out where 

songwriters live...

and other

'music wannabes'

I told them I'd bring them a fresh load

of bread

once I get moved in and can do some baking!

Now...

I am off to the sewing studio...

I must finish tracing this 4th block

in Buttercream Summer

so I can work on it while traveling.

I figure I have about 55 hours in the car

over the next week...

once we leave to head back to Utah

for a load....

and to meet up with family for Thanksgiving.

Just think of all the handwork I will get done!

If you didn't read my post yesterday...

here's another pic

of the other hand piece

I've been working on.

I've decided I am going to make this into 

a big quilt...

Queensize!

I will keep you updated on my progress!

I'm off to sew....
