Hello and a Happy New Year to all of YOU!
I’m running slightly behind already following so much holiday activity and art deadlines in January but,
I still thought there might be time for some fabric fun!?!!
How about another Valentine Post Card Exchange?
I really enjoyed seeing your amazing creativity from the first one, which you can see on Pinterest.
It’s a small project so you can stitch up quick and embellish (or not) any way you like, no challenge this time
however,
I do have Riley Blake Designs Paperdoll fabric panels and fat quarters to GIVEAWAY!!
•
•
How does a random drawing of the participants sound?
The winner will be drawn from delivered post cards.
All you have to do is sign up by sending me an email with your name and the address where you wish to receive your card.
I’ll match everyone to a partner and send you back the info.
• Email to janet@greatjoystudio.com
• Use any Riley Blake Designs fabric, although I’d love it if you used Paperdoll.
•Sew and send your cards to the partner we assign by February14, or sooner.
That’s it!

Hello!
Once again we were off to Houston last week in October with our new fabric collection,
Costume Makers Ball
presented at Fall Quilt Market by
Riley Blake Designs.
Just in case you didn’t catch this on IG or FB I decided to share a few photos and info.
•
•
The collection is for Halloween, twenty-nineteen and delivers to shops in April.
These fabrics are available to the trade (shops) now so please, check with you local shops to make sure they’ll have in the Spring.
It’s a very fun group to work with and I’m thinking you will agree!
As you can see above, we’ve created some great projects for this line and they’ll become available with the fabric release.
You may also notice that we’ve dressed our Makers Guide She Who Sews girls up too and will be offering these Halloween appliqué add on’s as downloadables.
•
Oh yes, and we won a prize!
Two actually!!
One to Riley Blake Designs for Best Multiple Booth award.
And we received the Most Creative Booth award.
FUN right!?!!
•
And for a little extra touch, our live action model dressed as the main panel was in the booth on Saturday. A photo with her offered visitors a chance at some Paperdoll fat quarter bundles in a daily giveaway throughout the show.
•
To top it off, we enjoyed special guest, Jenny Doan from Missouri Star Quilting! Yay
It was all, quite a Treat.
🙂

W E L C O M E
to DAY 7 of the
Quilt A Long and Blog Hop!
hosted by Carla from Creatin’ In the Sticks
•
A super easy block she calls ‘Stripper’ was offered and I decided that we could take it on.
Only two problems . .
1 – We/I have never pieced a block before or made a quilt project . . . and
2 – Our schedule is completely FULL as always with designing fabric, and another She Who Sews LANG calendar!!
So, I apologize ahead for not having a completed traditional project using this great block.
You can see Carla’s tutorial for #7 on her blog.
•
OK here goes.
This is our/my, first pieced quilt block ever. It’s true.
Actually we made two, just in case. Jackie cut and I stamped, inked and stitched.
Our minimal one block project will commemorate the event as a quilted wall piece to be framed and hung in the Joy Studio!
A reminder that it’s never too late to learn how to piece or quilt!!
•
Since we are waiting for our new fabric, “Paperdoll”
we used our partner Riley Blake Designs, Confetti Cottons in black and white and Aurifil thread for piecing.
•
•
I know it’s not much and I would love a quilt made using this block with each one turned and well, you never know. Maybe we/I keep piecing, right?
We had a lot of fun trying this and enjoyed the encouragement to participate.
Let us know how we did.
•
•
Carla was greatly instrumental in the only other blog hop I have ever participated in, the
2013 She Who Sews Sewing Room Hop!
THANK YOU again Carla!
•
BTW – Ask your favorite quilt shop to check out our new collection PAPERDOLL with Riley Blake at the
Spring, International Quilt Market in Portland May 18-20.
Delivers in August!
