Shout outs: hello Lynn, new mentor of Thing and Thang the enchanted soul twins. I’m happy you 3 compliment each other so well. See examples of Lynn’s creativity on her blog including a beautiful spread in Cloth Paper Scissors Oct/Nov, 2007 issue, she has a gift for embellishing art quilts (I think of them as art quilts first, collage second).
Further hellos to the lovely Yoga lady who had much encouragement and support for our new endevour: the Life Coach with the words of encouragement and hope: and the Magnet Wall lady who inspired this slide show album of the studio tour:

and to QuiltingLizzy (posted on the quiltingshow.com) I would love to see what you’ve created with your new EYembellishment, and hopefully post it here. I hope to see you all in the future, sincerely michele. love

Alex Anderson 1st in booth

TT and Alex Anderson in Chicago

An honor: personable and talented Alex Anderson was the first customer in our booth in Chicago on preview night. Here she is with my mama-san, (TT is on the left). To add to her glowing and generous personality, Alex has the most beautiful complexion I have ever seen. I am so jealous. See Alex at: Thequiltshow.com. Joining Alex in our tiny space was our cherished friend, Nancy Smith of Great American Quilt Factory here in Denver Colorado. Nancy is our guiding angel of encouragement and continues to impress us with her willingness to try new things. Thank you for all things good and yummy, lots of love, michele

Although they were not behaved enough to be able to go. The sock kids wanted to wish everyone a great time at the International Quilt Festival in Chicago.

Go to your studio and play

Go to your studio and create

Another departure from the button cards, since they are getting packed up by the minute to go to Chicago. Your studio can be a table, kitchen counter, closet, garage, bathtub, tree house, lawn, basement, bed top. Wherever you create, treat yourself to one small creation, or 15 minutes devoted to a larger project. It is true: the more you create, the more creative you become. So give yourself that gift. To see more hand painted, food safe ceramic dishes, please visit EYstudio.com

When you sleep…

sock creatures at play

Do you kick your socks off in the middle of the night? Do they lay stranded on the floor until wash-day? Do you know what they are doing while you sleep? They are role playing and having a blast. If you wish to end their free reign in the bedroom, keep them in the hamper. There in the dark confines they can enlist the underwear to join in…

Block Head

Block Head mini quilt

Sheesh, these girls are in such a hurry to get to Chicago, they haven’t sewn on my face yet. Kinda scary cause the cats can abscond with my eyeballs!  At least they gave me lush grass to await their administrations. But they’re giving me a posse this weekend. Lovely girls, grrrrrrr
