Picked some fabric for the baby quilt that we’ll be making in Patchwork 101 starting in September. I love choosing fabric as much as I love sewing it together.

outtakes
Tuesday, August 17th, 2010I’ve always tried to finagle my sister into modeling. Back when I ran an Etsy store, I was often forcing (yes, that’s right) her to dress up in my wild vintage outfits for photos. Rosie’s like my little dolly. And now that she’s helping out more at Suppose, the impromptu photo shoots can resume. See, isn’t she adorable?
We just wanted a few snapshots to show off what we’ll be doing in our Fall classes. Like the Spring Cleaning apron.
But the photos I like the best are always the outtakes. So I thought I’d share a few. The layperson may not know this, but my sister brain knows that the face in this photo actually means, “What do you want me to DO here?”
Oh yeah, do this.
Just, you know, showing off the Beginner’s Tote & Jen Giddens’ Pleated Tote.
There’s almost nothing better than sharing the day with your sister and your fabrics.
show & tell
Wednesday, August 4th, 2010I can’t tell you enough how much I LOVE seeing what our customers make. If you ever wonder whether or not to bring something in to show, or to take a photo and add it to our Flickr photo pool, the answer is DO IT. Even if you’re worried about those mistakes. After all, it’s just all part of the process.
Marilyn designed this quilt herself, and the details are so lovely up close. The culmination of years of work! Btw, her grandson was the sweetest helper I’ve ever seen in this shop.
Cory & Lauree did us the great honor of bringing this finished quilt in, which she made for him for their 10th wedding anniversary. 
Memories are represented in each block–their homes, cars, vacations… I love the melding of paper piecing, applique, embroidery, etc in this project. And it was Lauree’s first big pieced quilt! So proud.
See the rest of the blocks and the super cool back at Lauree’s Flickr.
Here we have Margene with her beautifully quilted Kaffe Fassett pillow. Well done!
Jennifer was the first to snatch up some of the Thea print from Alexander Henry and make something out of it. I think that bolt few out of here faster than any other fabric and is now long gone. Let Jennifer’s bed quilt top with simple, neutral stripes make you jealous that you didn’t get any.
Oh, adorable Julie and her wall hanging. I love her fabric choices for this; it became an entirely different creation that what the pattern looked like because of it. The thing about this that you might not be able to tell is that Julie and the quilt totally matched that day. Notice the blue shoes/blue house… and her yellow vest hiding back there matches the star. And probably her lipstick was that perfect shade of coral.
Thanks for sharing your creativity, everyone. You inspire us. Can’t wait to see more!
