YEAH here is it, my Pretty Please, Sis Boom fabric by Jennifer Paganelli!! I ordered it from Fabritopia and it came very quickly! I am going to make pillow shams for my guest bedroom. I really wish I were making a prom dress for me with a sheer organza overlay.....but who wants to be 17 again? Not me thank you! It will just have to be pillow shams!I don't know if I told you all about the group of ladies I sew with every Wednesday? Well, just in case, ( and I can't remember!) I sew with 11 other ladies every Wednesday. We meet at each other's house, the hostess fixes lunch for everyone, so you only have to fix lunch once every 2-3 months. The food is ALWAYS good. It is amazing that we almost never have the same thing twice. We have sewn in this kind of group for 11-12 years. It is not cast in stone to go, but we try.
I am telling you all of this because I was talking to my daughter and said I may not be going to sewing day this week because I didn't have anything to sew on. Her reply was, "Nothing to sew on, I can't believe that." Well, this next picture is why.....This is my kitchen counter...not counting the kitchen table for the past few weeks.
You see, when you write a book, someone has to actually do the writing part. My lap top is in the kitchen, so I have this whole mess spread everywhere!You have to have diagrams drawn, for people like us to follow along with the pattern. If I have applique; and I do, I must have the templates. I need a table of contents. And I need the directions for each project.....THIS is why I don't have anything to sew on....I am writing which is not my best skill and I don't want to start on a major sewing project right now......I did have photos of all these steps, but you could click on them and see all my hard work....you must be patient and wait until the book comes out!

Your weekly sewing group sounds wonderful! How exciting to be writing a book - hope it all comes together smoothly - can't wait until we can see some of your projects.
I'd love to be in a sewing group! I'm sure you're book will be worth all the hard work and effort. I love the new fabric line. She has a pattern called Stephanie. I shall have to have it.
It's going to be great when your book is done...I can't wait!!!
Exciting for you, but it must be hard to not have a sewing project in the works.
The book planning must be time consuming, Sheri, but HOW exciting!!
I also love that fabric...the colour is very similar to one of the fabrics in the Woodland Bloom range and I loved that too!
Sheri...Your fabric is beautiful. I would love to see the pillow shams when you are done--and how they go with your quilt, etc. A good friend of mine use to have a quilt group twice a month, I think. During the summer when I would be at her home visiting, I could join in. It was soooo much fun. It made me so wish that I could do it year round.
I just started blogging--if you have a moment, please check it out and let me know what you think!
It is Apples, Quilts and More!
I am looking forward to seeing your book. Your work is lovely! Happy writing!
What "fun" working on your book! I'm excited to see the final product.
I think you did mention on here once that you are in a quilting group, and that sounds so fun and wonderful! Like something out of a movie, not what real life people do. :)
I got your pattern today! THANK YOU!!! I think I might do it out of Camille and Bonnie's new fabric line that is coming out this fall. Camille's glimpse of it from her blog makes me impatient to see it in real life! I love those little glimpses, and can't wait to work on this one.
Whoa, what a job. I am sure that is taking a lot of time but you will feel great when your book is published.
Your sewing group sounds so homey and wonderful! (And great food is always a nice bonus ;)
I can just imagine all the detail-work that goes into making a book like yours. It must be thrilling, though, as you see it coming together! I feel thrilled myself, and kinda like I'm connected to it. Silly, huh? But you ARE inspiring, Sheri!
