Dear stores, customers, and vendors:
Thank you for your patience! Our three newest patterns (Perfect Balance quilt, Good Karma Quilt, & the Oh, Boy! finger puppets ship this week. Hurrah!
(Unless of course there is an unforeseen delay…which there won’t be…oh, I hope there isn’t! Oh, please… oh, please, no more delays. OK, perhaps we should cross our fingers. Or maybe forward this post to the printer?)
We are debuting my entire line at the 2011 Fall International Quilt Market and Festival in just one week in Houston. (gulp.) (!!!) (hurrah!) I have been crazy busy for months designing and finalizing and preparing…
I just can’t wait any longer to reveal my newest puppet pattern—the Oh, Boy!™ Finger Puppet pattern. It was completely inspired by the interests and passions of my son. Five year old boys are just so cool. And the thing is, every time he picks up my other puppets, he makes them clobber each other. Aah, the lovely inherent violence of boys. I am the non-violent sort—more of the peace-loving-hippie type, really. So it has been quite a lesson in gender differences for me to see how boys are so innately warring and keenly interested in all things that can launch, hurl, shoot, or fling. Not to mention their love of heavy machinery, espionage, gadgets, and Star Wars (even if they haven’t actually seen the movie).
