Ginger Blossom by Sandi Henderson

When you are done ooohhing and coohhhing about my chair, go over to Sandi's blog Portabellopixie and tell her how much her fabric rocks!  (If you are web surfing at work, you have been warned- her blog plays music.  So turn off your speakers to avoid getting busted.) She teamed up with Michael Miller Fabrics to produce this line and according to her blog, is working on another one as we speak.  She began her career in textiles by designing and sewing children's clothes for her line Portabellopixie.  So she definitely has the apparel sewer in mind when she designs fabric.  She has some great tutorials on her site, including one for shirring children's clothing (think of stretchy smocking).

I met her at Quilt Market last fall and she is as nice and fun as her fabric is darling.  I even got to sit next to her and her husband at the Michael Miller dinner, where as I remember, she was eyeing my steak.  Fortunately, her husband had ordered the same thing so I didn't have to share.  I would have hated to have damaged her talented hands with my fork.

Anyway, the fabrics are here and as a little Valentine's Day/ Ginger Blossom launch gift, use coupon code "GINGER" at checkout and get 15% off Sandi's fabrics through Friday, February 15.

Oh fun! You must be one of the firsts.

If I remember properly, I think I talked about taking a bite of your steak and maybe my fork moved a little close for comfort? Hmm..maybe you'll have to order pasta in Portland.

SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO not fair! I gave up online shopping for Lent! I want to cry, this fabric is so gorgeous, you're offering a great deal and I love to support Texas shops! Ugh, I'm off to go watch Dirty Jobs and pout now. ;)

I gave up buying fabric and patterns for Lent. It's going to be a long five weeks. Why couldn't all this fabric come out a couple weeks ago?!?
