Haha, let me rewind. I always try to take the month of December off to work on my own stuff -- new products, new books, maybe even design a new quilt idea (or several).
Well, in December I was a creative fool!... yes, it did totally run into January, but it's all good.
I finished writing my fourth book, Fast Forward Feathers, and the preorders flew out the door. The books arrived early (yay) and the preorders were shipped. Whew... but, on a back burner (slightly over-simmering) was the other project I've been working on... I'm now realizing that working on two creative ideas at the same time takes a lot of energy. Oh, did I mention that I also have that yearly cruddy cold... yes, that too! So needless to say, my brain has been working in overdrive and not quite at 100% even though it has been required... I need to thank several people for the use of their brain cells during this time.
So, the big reveal isn't quite ready... soon, I promise, but read on - there might be a little hinting going on. I have some prototype testing to do this weekend. Next week I'll be in Washington State (ooh, is there snow? - a girl can hope, right?) doing some really important stuff, which I'm sure will require full brain cell capacity (is it asking too much to be totally over this cold in three days??). More on that soon too... I really can't wait to share all about that too!
As soon as I get back I am doing a trunk show and fun workshop at Manatee Patchworkers Quilt Guild over in Bradenton. We'll be creating this fun mandala applique project:
Hmm... if you've been following along with my posts you may have been following the clues. This project is what started the creative idea that is going to be revealed in the coming weeks. So, I'm sure you can guess it is mandala related... it is, and it is so awesome. No really, it is so awesome that it is almost magical. I am super excited about it and I hope you all will be too!
Oh, and here's a quick peek of project birth... Candace from Barn Catz Studio has been so helpful in bringing my idea and drawings into real life usable things!! Enjoy it -- it is your only peek until I share the products!!
You are teasing us!
