Indulge me while I get gushy for a second will you? I want to send out so many heartfelt thank yous to all of my blog readers for all of your support and encouragement. You all are just simply the best-est. Its been such an amazing journey for me. I can hardly believe that its only been a few years since this first blog post to having my designs licensed and actually getting a book published. Your support has been so inspiring and unwavering. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. xoxo

And now for a bit of eye candy! Not sure if you spied the phenomenal quilt top over at Film in the Fridge last week? I sent Ashley some of my Llook! Llamas! fabrics (which I self produce and print using Spoonflower) and she created the most outstanding quilt. One of the things that I just adore about Ashley's work is the way she pairs fabric and colors. From these 3 Llook! Llamas! prints:


She created this! Never in a million years would my mind have gone towards that pairing but I think it's genius. So rich a lovely and just perfect for the Llamas, Flapdoodle Hats and the Peruvian Blanekt don't you think?? And I got such a kick out of seeing some of my Circles print in yellow that is produced by Robert Kaufman included in there too! (Such a simple print but so much fun!!)

Hi Laurie

I love these! And it's such a great collection. Gorgeous designs and even more gorg colours. I'm really enjoying your book too!

This is one of my daughter's favorite collections! I asked for your book for Mother's Day and she giggled. I think she would like it in the house, also. Thanks for sharing!

I'm putting your book on my Amazon wishlist!!! I want this for my birthday in a few days! I only wish I could be sure my family checks my wishlist. Oh well, I might have to buy it for myself.

Congrats on the book - it must be so exciting seeing it in book form! And thanks for your sweet mention, and for showing off the new llama quilt. I can't wait to show the finished quilt - we had quite the photo shoot yesterday! :)
