Oh my!
No news (in Oct. & Nov.) is good news?
That’s what they say and it’s true here too. Although, our news will have to keep until 2018!
•
We were busy as usual, with Quilt Market in October
&
turkey in November.
•
•
And now, here we are in
D E C E M B E R!
I confess, Instagram and Facebook were the quick venues we relied on to share what we’ve been up to the last couple of months. I hope you were able to follow us there.
•
We presented our Seamstress Maker’s Guide applique as a modern farm girl quilt made by Aunt Henri from our new fabric collection, “Fowl Play”. And we had a lot of fun with this at a photo op at fall Quilt Market. I hope you will try one of these life sized She Who Sews applique girls for your studio. As you can see the possible fabric combinations are endless for your unique Handmaid.

I want to wish you a very
MERRY CHRISTMAS
from all of us at Joy Studio!

A T L A S T !
Our Handmaids,
She Who Sews
girls are available in
A P P L I Q U E !
&
in a BIG way.

First introduced at Fall Quilt Market 2016
three of my female figures were translated from the original art into appliqué by good friend Ann Regal.
My request to Ann was that they be life size, suitable for studio pieces and oh, what fun!
•
There seamed to be such great interest in these show stopping characters that we saw no other choice but to persevere with this unique product.
&
An even greater pleasure to be able to offer the life size raw-edge appliqué patterns for the first time at the 2017 Spring Quilt Market right here in St Louis, our home town.
I believe, we are just getting started with these fun creative figures!
Take a look at what some of our design team created with the new patterns, some linen, our fabrics and some vintage items. Her corset still needs it’s buttons and bows.
•
•
Our Press On Handmaid (above) used our new fabric collection, Hatter’s Tea Party from Quilting Treasures.
The Seamstress (below) was made using linen and our She Sews Sea Shells fabrics with a vintage pair of gloves. It’s plain to see how different these girls can look by simply customizing the fabrics to the maker’s own specifications and taste. The possibilities and personalities are endless!
•
•
Machine Maid (below) was created using a variety of fabrics such as blue organza for her monocle, also She Who Sews, Draw Near and quilting B’s are among them.
•
•
Makers of the gorgeous projects featured here are,
Ann Regal, Regal & Co.
Victoria Naylor Passmore & Jesse Weber, Aunt Henri
Elizabeth Cecchittini, Dandelion Rose
