So exciting to receive an email from the Art Director at blend fabrics llc--------------------

You never know who is following you and looking at your work!  I was excited to be contacted by the Art Director at Blend Fabrics llc stating that she loved my Aggie Wristlet Clutch Pattern which can be found here and pillow collections here.  She indicated that Anna Griffin was attending the Spring 2013 Quilt Market show and needed items to put in her booth.

Of course, I said yes and was anticipating the arrival of this beautiful fabric Sardinia.  The package arrived with a beautiful array of fabrics.  I love working with beautiful fabrics which aspire you to create new beautiful pieces.

Each one of these patterns can be made in about an hour.  They make great gifts for all of your friends.  They will love them!

INSTANT DOWNLOAD of the PDF Sewing Pattern is available here at AggieRay

 The wristlets make great wedding party gifts, bridesmaids clutches, teacher gifts and more!

The pillow is made with 4 triangles of fabric (a fat quarter of each fabric) plus 1/2 yard of fabric for the piping and backing is all that is needed!

 

 

It was a thrill and honor to participate in the Spring 2013 Quilt Market.  Thank you Anna Griffin, Inc and  Blend Fabrics, LLC 

 

 



 

Beautiful Girls!

All the planning came together for the most beautiful day!  The weather was perfect, the dresses were beautiful and the girls just complemented all the accessories!  They were the icing on the cake.

The bridal bouquets were beautiful and stayed together through all the pictures and tossing high in the air!  The girls had so much fun.  They were extra special because I was able to create them myself.  I made these during the Blizzard in February!

Ruffle Wedding Cake

As promised, here are some pictures of the final result of all the work for the last 3 months.  Yes you can plan a wedding in 3 months, not 1 year, not 2 years... more time means more money you spend!  This wedding was absolutely beautiful and well planned.  It was described as a fairytale wedding when the guest walked into the hall!

1.5 Hour Handbag Sewing Project!

Yes you can make this bag in about an hour in a half.  If you cut out the pieces the day before you start sewing, lay them all out and sew the next day, the project will take about an hour.  Simple, fun and makes a great gift!  The sewing pattern can be purchased here:  AggieRay!

No time to sew, you can still purchase a completed handbag here:  AggieRay!  The fabric used for this handbag is Amy Butler Midwest Soul Blossoms Fuchsia Tree - Carmine Amy Butler Midwest Soul Blossoms Fuchsia Tree.  The fabric is available in my fabric shop on Etsy !Amy Butler Fabric with more fabric available for immediate shipping FabricPlace  This is a great bag to carry this Summer!

The Big Wedding Day!

Well it is almost here. One more week my son is getting married.  I have been working on various projects with my future daughter-in-law, to help save money for the wedding.  One of them is this beautiful cake stand.  I cannot wait to see the actual cake on top of it!  This was a great easy project, but it did take some time trying to find materials to work with to build the stand, nothing I couldn't find at my local Home Depot store and Michael's Craft Store!   More pictures from the wedding to follow!

Blizzard 2013 February 8 and 9th, 2013

I am one of the most fortunate ones to still have power.  Most of the State of Rhode Island is without power.  The snow is a serious problem with getting the electricity restored.  The snow has to be cleared, trees cut and then the electric crews can get to the source.  It was a very peaceful walk this morning. I was able to let the dogs run free because no vehicles are allowed on the roads right now.  Here are the pictures.

Wedding Party Bouquet

Designing wedding bouquets for my son's wedding.  So much fun.. Fun to make. A little bit of a learning curve with these, but I think I have mastered it.
