As I thought might be the case, the concept my helper, Cyndi, and I came up with of a ‘Talking Pattern’ is a hit – due largely to the many talents of my professional web-designer son, Jeff Rohlfing. Could not have done this without him! Though as mother and son ‘working’ together we nearly tear our hair out – the rewards for both of us are finally worth it.
I sold out of what I’d taken at the Chantilly Original Sewing & Quilt Expo last weekend, (and also both of my DVD’s)…and just finished shipping off all the special orders. Placed my order for the 2nd printing today!
Here is the pattern cover:
And an additional jacket – my ‘test’ of the Darted Collar style of a woven fabric cut on the bias is also included – though not phto’d on the cover…
Cyndi and I had a great time – and the trip to Chantilly, Virginia was a lovely drive. We met special people in our booth – and – as always – are enchanted with the lovely sewing crazy women we meet. Kathy – you are in my prayers as you fight breast cancer. You are a trooper…Go GIRL!!
OH – and thought of the name of my next pattern: ‘Purity‘ – and will raise money to pay for a well to be dug to provide healthy drinking water in a village where it is needed through World Vision. More to come…
This week brings packing up and moving my parents to a lovely assisted living situation. Thanks to so many of you for your prayers.
Oh – and to let you know how ‘sewing on the brain’ I am – I actually told Cyndi we needed to stop – as we had ‘a quarter of a yard of gas left in the tank!’
My website was unavailable to place orders the last few days – but all is fixed now – so thanks for your patience, AND your notifications of a problem. Prayers to the rescue once again.
