Promise kept.

I promised my friend, '70's and '80's super model Nancy Donahue, that I would make her a quilt back in March 2010. It took me way too long! However- i was aiming for a perfect interpretation of her infectious laughter, sunny disposition, resemblance to Doris Day, and faithful friendship.
This quilt, made from 2 packs of "jellyroll" strips from Kate Spains "Verna" (moda) line, holds hands a sunny, butter yellow print from Jennifer Paganellis Sis Boom "Poodle" line. Quite fitting, since these fabric designers are good buddies, too!
The jellyroll pieces were "braided" together- Hence, the "Friendship Braid Quilt". It is an over sized queen, which was a bear to quilt- but with lots of trimming and measuring i was able to square it up. This often happens when quilting long, narrow strips together. The pretty daisy quilting is a nod to Doris Days, "Please don't eat the daisies!" song. I hope she likes it as much as I liked making it for her. She's the one on the left.

Women Working Wonders Fundraiser

My dear friend,'80's Super Model Nancy Donahue has talked me into coming up for this great event to raise money for women in need. I have added a few new items to my repertoire, along with my equine and nautical inspired quilts, throws and pillows. A few budget friendly embellished journals, Love Madds repurposed jewelry, MRR Picture Frames, and Sharp Hill Designs bags- all the rage in the Hamptons this spring! Some (YUDU) silk screened reusable organic shopping bags and lunch totes... really cute, no? We all do everything ourselves and we all live within minutes of each other... Wilton has some pretty creative folks.
Nancy will be introducing her new product- The Honey Belle Body Buffer at home cellulite removal device...Got mine!
