Quick market update...




I'm only giving myself a few minutes here, because I have tons of stuff to scan and put on my site. Market was a blast and hugely successful. Jenny Bean was the talk of the town, and I am going to start designing Jenny Bean's Christmas Sampler this week. I think the most flattering thing was how many designers came into my booth to purchase my designs, including Barb and Alma from Blackbird Designs, who each picked up Jenny Bean and her pin tuffet, the Antique Spring Sampler, and MD's Christmas Sampler (among other things). They loved my stuff, and I loved theirs...a mutual admiration society.

I thought I'd include a picture of my sampler display from market. It may not seem like much, but I released my first sampler design just one year ago...so everything you see was created in the space of one year. The other picture is me coming back with a Rogue full of market goodies. Lots of empty space where my designs/charts/kits used to be. I'll be shoveling things out the door this week. Be patient -- remember, there's just one of me. Lots of cool stuff.

Theresa,

Your display looks fantastic! I think you should be very proud of what you have accomplished in the past year.

I can't wait to see pictures of all the new goodies! If I lived closer - I'd be offering to help you out!

Love your display! I can't wait to get my hands on Jenny Bean especially. I think your designs and repros are gorgeous. Congrats on your success.

Hi Theresa -- Your display looks great, and you will probably have to put me on your list for the next installment of Jenny Bean, even as I eagerly await the first sampler and pin cushion. You should not be surprised that the Blackbird gals and other designers like your samplers -- I see the same sense of color, combined with a touch of whimsy in your designs that I find so compelling in theirs. Now if only there were more hours in the day!

Keep up the terrific work!!!
