PPC29: Cleo in Yellow
So… After creating EIGHT samples (not counting prototypes) in support of this new pattern, the Easy Go Wallet, I am pleased and proud to be able to FINALLY say that this is will be the LAST sample I’ll be making, (unless of course I decide to make a few as gifts, later on of course!).…

So… today I’m pleased to be able to show you the Easy Go Wallet in batiks… and not just ANY batiks! A few months ago Kate Colleran (of Kate Colleran Designs), a friend of mine from Quilt Market contacted me about the possibility of me using her fabric in a sample or two. At the…
Read MoreA Case of Old & New Gold
So… every now and then we get to make a change that’s a HUGE improvement on an old product and recently that was the case for us a while back! Here’s what happened! We were really pumped when we added an all-gold variety to our zipper lineup a few years ago. But a not-so-funny thing…

So… in our last post I showed you our new slim-profile wallet all dressed up in some gorgeous “cat fabric” from Chong-A Hwang… and today I’m featuring a perfect coordinate.

Read MoreThere’s a New Zip in Town ’23
So… every couple of years we try to add a new zipper style to our repetoire and since the last time we added a new zip was in 2021, I’ve been on the lookout for something new and unusual. I’ve been thinking all along that I wanted to go with multi-colored zipper teeth but somehow…
Read MorePPC29: Will it Go Round in Circles?
So… I was sitting in my booth at the AQS Paducah Quilt Festival a few weeks ago when I spied this extraordinary fabric in the booth across the aisle from me! But here’s the thing… it probably won’t come as a surprise to you that I love collecting fabric! Some might call it hoarding, but…
Read MorePPC29: P Carter Carpin
So… after two prototypes, the time has finally come to get out the “good fabric” and create the first true sample of this new design! I decided to go with some really cool P. Carter Carpin fabric I picked up at the Mid-Atlantic Quilt Fest (more about this fabric at the end of the post)…
