Two weeks in Houston, then I drove home to Florida with Janice and spent another week. I have put together some pictures of our booth from market and wanted to share. Here are a couple of our booth. It was hard to get the whole booth in one picture, so it took several.<br />

The booth was a lot of fun. If you look close, you will see we created our own wall paper with our name. Really fun. We built a ladder system at the end so you could see quilts from both sides. This feature got a lot of attention. <br />
<br />
I mentioned ITTY BITTY fun and that is what we had. We introduced the new ITTY BITTY BEATLE BAG, the little brother to the BEATLE BAG. It is just over 7 inches wide and will hold all kinds of little things. <br />

We introduced two new quilts. The first is BLUE JAY WAY. I call it my zen moment. We used Basic Grey Persimmon from Moda fabrics. Just Beautiful.<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

The second quilt is MONKEY BUSINESS. Crazy, quirky and just plain cool. Only 20 fat quarters and you have made this awesome quilt. We used an assortment of Cotton and Steele fabrics for the sample.<br />

One of the other big hits for market was our new apron. The LADY GODIVA. We had so much fun making it that we just kept picking new fabrics. We wore different ones each day and great chef hats. When asked what we were cooking, we said "TROUBLE."</div>

Dina came along for all the fun. We could never do it without her help. She always had the best color combos when it came to the aprons also.<br />

Another great thing about market is connected with old friends and making new. These two ladies are from New Zealand and they have shopped with us for several years. This year we got to meet them.<br />

After market we broke down and moved the whole booth to a new location for FESTIVAL. It was near the bathroom, always a hot spot. We brought in Ariel, a cute little family friend and she helped us keep everything running smooth.<br />

It was so much fun and so much work, but totally worth it. All the new patterns are up on the website, <a href="http://www.abbeylanequilts.com/">www.abbeylanequilts.com</a>. Next week we will be showing you all about the ITTY BITTY BEATLE BAG, and the rumor is there may be a really great giveaway.<br />
<br />
Have a great week.<br />

<br />
Through the years, I think the Halloween quilts and pillows we have done are probably my favorites. So, we just thought we would post all the different projects, and if you check the last picture, you will see a preview for market of a new apron with a sample in Halloween Fabric. So enjoy.<br />
<br />
Our first book, <a href="http://www.abbeylanequilts.com/FABFIVE.html">FAB FIVE</a>, featured this great quilt.<br />

<br />
Janice and I really love Halloween so of course, we picked up two new collections. Now, the question, what do you do with those cute fabrics that you don't really want to cut up in little pieces. <br />
<br />
We pulled out a couple of our patterns and said, "YES", this fabric would look great in this fabric. <br />
<br />
Let's start with Janice, she picked a new collection from Riley Blake called WITCH HAZEL. Then she took our pattern <b>Mr. Mustard</b> which uses 13 fat quarters and some yardage.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjoBu5zwMPElIa3YnOYEfjKItKLYzGv929ATrwKrNVLtEkfBH54TljxgAa6wG-IbQMMPp8JJpLu8ipYl6j2H9Bq04JSk_jd7-CiV5Wn9eepMCuWqTUC1fcFqL0dF7Vt-9C8TmnnuhScrsJa/s1600/Mr.+Mustard+front+web.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjoBu5zwMPElIa3YnOYEfjKItKLYzGv929ATrwKrNVLtEkfBH54TljxgAa6wG-IbQMMPp8JJpLu8ipYl6j2H9Bq04JSk_jd7-CiV5Wn9eepMCuWqTUC1fcFqL0dF7Vt-9C8TmnnuhScrsJa/s1600/Mr.+Mustard+front+web.jpg" height="320" width="204" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
She decided on a dark background, which really brought out the bright colors in the collection. I love this quilt. I have some fat quarters from this collection too, so I see this quilt in my future.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<br />
I am in love with all Basic Grey fabrics from Moda and their new Halloween collection EERIE was no exception. I chose one of our newest patterns, <b>Shake Rattle and Roll </b>which uses 14 fat quarters and yardage for the background.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjbe_0r2DTlzqK470L6jvXr541yfV394lssGauP-et4yGOu1wsrutGgptlXVd3AiW05Vn1wofEt-yb79pwtfzzMLMVcTgDvlJYIEqGceO59SXJN0kiV_AmZj1xJuChaMwCIQikJN0Ziz1hj/s1600/shake+rattle+and+roll+front+cover+for+web.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjbe_0r2DTlzqK470L6jvXr541yfV394lssGauP-et4yGOu1wsrutGgptlXVd3AiW05Vn1wofEt-yb79pwtfzzMLMVcTgDvlJYIEqGceO59SXJN0kiV_AmZj1xJuChaMwCIQikJN0Ziz1hj/s1600/shake+rattle+and+roll+front+cover+for+web.jpg" height="320" width="204" /></a></div>
<br />
I love the finished quilt. I can't wait for October.<br />

<br />
I just love the way both these patterns show off the beautiful fabrics. They would also be great with Christmas fabrics too. So, step outside the box and be creative with those holiday fabrics. Check out all our patterns at www.abbeylanequilts.com. <br />

Have a great week.<br />

The comments of what you would put in the bag were great, but my favorite was the one where the lady is going to make one for her daughter and put money in it for a trip to Europe. I want to be on her list.<br />
<br />
Ok, the winners are:<br />
<br />
1. Cathy McG from Florida<br />
<br />
2. Kelly S. from Missouri<br />
<br />
3. Kelley from Pennsylvania<br />
<br />
Wow, I just noticed that there were two Kelly's. Totally random. If you are a winner, please email us your shipping address to info@abbeylanequilts.com.<br />
<br />
Again thanks to everyone who shared, it is a great bag.<br />

We debuted the BEATLE BAG, which is a Grab and Go sewing bag, at Market. It was a hit. By the time we got to Festival, people had come up with all kinds of uses for the BEATLE BAG including using it for stitchery, small projects, beading, crayons and markers, make-up, jewelry, pretty much anything you need to take with you.<br />

For tonight though, we are going to show you how we use it for a sewing kit to take with us to classes, guilds, retreats, or even just a friends house.<br />

The pattern includes 4 Inserts which are heavy duty vinyl bags. The have a zip closure. Each insert has two bags, one on each side, so in total you get 8 bags. They velcro into the beatle bag. You can fill the bag with all the things you need for sewing, we even give a giant suggestion list in the pattern. On the inside it also has two pockets big enough to hold full size scissors and a full size cutter. It also has a detachable pin coushin to put up by your sewing machine.<br />

So that makes Thanksgiving one of my favorite holidays. This isn't about me though, but I did put a recipe down at the bottom, it is about Abbey Lane, and tonight I am going to share with you our new patterns we debuted at Quilt Market.<br />
<br />
We had five new quilts, and as always, the new ones have become my favorites. We started with ROCKY RACCOON.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

The colors in this quilt are just beautiful, and believe it or not, they are civil war fabrics. This is such a versatile pattern that you could gather up your scraps and come out with a beauty.<br />
<br />

I went to five different quilt stores and raided my stash to come up with the greys and off whites used in the center and on the borders. My efforts really paid off. The giant flowers are super funky and the bright colors finished out the happy feel. <br />
<br />
Next is METER MAID.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjdcaV9LIiJ3o74gI3cgYimxcpZDe7b2VCwngLA2PkXl9AyMJgDQPgWAJ05ApAV9kWOHgYfYZYqwfW1Qz1sBGsWuP4mkPdzTrxxfM9ZD8bhVuTgLKNweNLmTlIbPi2Ceb8vgsToWwA_lFtw/s1600/meter+maid+front+cover+rgb+website.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjdcaV9LIiJ3o74gI3cgYimxcpZDe7b2VCwngLA2PkXl9AyMJgDQPgWAJ05ApAV9kWOHgYfYZYqwfW1Qz1sBGsWuP4mkPdzTrxxfM9ZD8bhVuTgLKNweNLmTlIbPi2Ceb8vgsToWwA_lFtw/s320/meter+maid+front+cover+rgb+website.jpg" width="207" /></a></div>
This tied for first place for favorite quilt at market with all the ladies. Again, this is a versatile quilt made with fat quarters. We used a collection from Moda called BLUEBIRD PARK, which is in stores now. As with almost all of our patterns, many different styles of fabrics can be used and all will produce great results.<br />
<br />
THE WALRUS<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEir46dfLo31CE_9VyqiFd5_7ogvYZq0JPEz4FNeVYHjXEYGOyUG0Uz2iP4pEnz3ta9v2Dv2UGwwwzYR-tzUVwHlGfUpJ3AH1F6xrZ6QQirCBVYhyIDCpddPSFoPbsVSQUZ9Ybb4jDoqF8P_/s1600/walrus+for+blog.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEir46dfLo31CE_9VyqiFd5_7ogvYZq0JPEz4FNeVYHjXEYGOyUG0Uz2iP4pEnz3ta9v2Dv2UGwwwzYR-tzUVwHlGfUpJ3AH1F6xrZ6QQirCBVYhyIDCpddPSFoPbsVSQUZ9Ybb4jDoqF8P_/s320/walrus+for+blog.jpg" width="207" /></a></div>
tied with Meter Maid and was my personal favorite. This quilt, with it's oversized 15" whacky butter churn block, has so many options. I am going to do it in Christmas fabrics, and Janice already picked out her halloween fabrics. For the cover quilt, we used a collection called Collage. It is also in stores now.<br />
<br />
The last quilt is JO JO.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

The dark grey background truly sets off the fun pieced blocks. The arrangement of the blocks also plays to the modern feel. We used Heather Bailey's new collection Lottie Da for this quilt.<br />
<br />
We introduced one more new pattern which has a lot of buzz about it. The BEATLE BAG<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Now I promised a recipe and I apologize for not having a pic to go with it, but this is my favorite new dressing/stuffing. I made it the last two years and it is yummy. I have even made it with gluten free bread and it tastes amazing. Give it a try.<br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Good Morning Texas! Best thing about the hotel is the make it yourself Texas Sized waffles.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">We had a big double booth for this market, since we also stay for festival. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">We debuted 5 new quilts for the show. Have a look.</span><br />

Driving in the west is so beautiful, unlike the south, you can see beyond the trees on the side of road. We had a great trip up. <br />
<br />
Portland lived up to its weather reputation. Cloudy, rainy and cool for the weak. I loved it. We got into the convention center early and got all set up. Janice came in Thursday evening from Oklahoma. She got to be present for the birth of her 6th grandchild and first baby granddaughter, Bailey on Wednesday. <br />
<br />
So here are the pictures of our booth. Enjoy.<br />

December has arrived and that makes it the "Giving Season." So in honor of this, we are having a give away. We decided to make an apron pattern this fall, and it was a hit at market. "MRS. ROBINSON" is our first apron pattern and we had a lot of fun with it.</div>

The apron has all kinds of fun touches. First, it is REVERSIBLE. At market, Janice wore one side out and I wore the other side. We constantly were demonstrating "our other half." Janice also decided that the apron would come in very handy; you cook with one side of the apron on, which will more than likely get a little dirty. And, when you are done cooking, just reverse the apron to serve your food. </div>
<div class="separator" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: left;">
The next fun touch is the front panel. 32 small strips of fabric run from top to bottom. Then, choose a great print to finish it out. On the back of the apron, the print runs down the center, and the coordinating fabrics are used as horizontal stripes. </div>

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: left;">
We also included optional pockets in the pattern, placed in different places on each side. Janice loves pockets, I just haven't figured out what she puts in them.</div>

The apron can be made in all kinds of fabrics for all kinds of occasions. And as I said, it is the giving season, and WE ARE GIVING. We made a special Christmas version of "Mrs. Robinson" which was worn and displayed in the Moda Bake Shop during market and we are giving that apron away. (apologies for the pictures, i used my phone)</div>

Despite some major setbacks this year, we made it market and had a great time. Janice brought along a friend from home, Dena, and then her sister, Debbie, who lives in Missouri actually took time off from work to come and help us. I had personal issues and did not make it in until Thursday, but Janice and Dena did a great job of getting everything ready, then the four of us put all the finishing touches on the booth.</div>

The back wall had some of our favorite purses. Check out the LUCILLE BAG in laminate on the second row. It was a big hit.<br />
<br />
We had fun connecting with all our quilting friends and especially enjoyed making new friends. We even had a little Kansas City Barbeque. We will be having two contests in the next couple of weeks for our new books so check back.<br />
<br />
Have a great week.<br />

We have been waiting and waiting for the right time, and now, after I finally got snow, about 18 inches the past couple of days it is time to celebrate.

Back to the giveaway. We published a new book which debuted at Market in Houston called SIMPLE CHOICES.<br />

Then we added 5 super fun appliques. We topped it off with two different trims, ric rac or raw edge. The idea is simple, CHOOSE YOUR BLOCK, CHOOSE YOUR APPLIQUE, CHOOSE YOUR TRIM, and before you know it you have 25 different quilts.<br />

So far, I have made on of three block of the week mystery quilt kits I purchased last year. Yes, I love kits. But this week, I sewed with our own patterns. We had two new bag patterns introduced at market.<br />
<br />
The first is <strong>The "Mary Jane" Bag</strong><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgJ-2ZI-XGuEMCpRQSSUbHOmjPvS79S50CAIbpez-CNs72LzHWCrnqXxzLTa6LXXR-cmyP6McBUjdLs48KX6NFqMpHCtwS9Fa3mNoOlon-9WTjZtk7vW9IpoBoJpzOj77SGmjJni_g-2ne6/s1600/The+MARY+JANE++BAG++FRONT+COVER+web.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" kba="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgJ-2ZI-XGuEMCpRQSSUbHOmjPvS79S50CAIbpez-CNs72LzHWCrnqXxzLTa6LXXR-cmyP6McBUjdLs48KX6NFqMpHCtwS9Fa3mNoOlon-9WTjZtk7vW9IpoBoJpzOj77SGmjJni_g-2ne6/s320/The+MARY+JANE++BAG++FRONT+COVER+web.jpg" width="204" /></a></div><br />
And <strong>The "Lucille" Bag.</strong><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjxxXeMqg9UWZHHGsG3YznHO5bP3M0lGrwHBOnrVJwK-yyKy4_p-zH0XFHbqPb7c5zo7sewLZkc0lYw5uOg1v6hPcuDWltFxmm6IpIideEd-6jq6znvypMJUb7hh6KAWHKgzYWAVy7XAPiG/s1600/The+LUCILLE+BAG++FRONT+COVER+web.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" kba="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjxxXeMqg9UWZHHGsG3YznHO5bP3M0lGrwHBOnrVJwK-yyKy4_p-zH0XFHbqPb7c5zo7sewLZkc0lYw5uOg1v6hPcuDWltFxmm6IpIideEd-6jq6znvypMJUb7hh6KAWHKgzYWAVy7XAPiG/s320/The+LUCILLE+BAG++FRONT+COVER+web.jpg" width="204" /></a></div><br />
They are great bags. I wanted to take the patterns and play around with different fabrics, or in this case, LAMINATES. Don't you just love Laminates. I do, but other than a rain coat, what am I going to make with them. I decided that these two new patterns might just be perfect. I have used laminates a little, but the new ones are getting softer and softer. Right now I love Michael Miller laminates. They are so easy to work with.<br />
<br />
So, here are my new laminate bags. First, <strong>Mary Jane, </strong>made out of Moda Laminates. <br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjxvwGwrNHs1X3odKfguNLBBOy1sBCXZFUQlgKjHvolEQDkstWAauYZS3hUUjqx_cnrXY5Htm2zZk3RoM1YqPqv0DmC608hvDSuAoblptvbw_0Yw8d5Snd5NvQYhu7z3EYLfd_r0GsJfM7c/s1600/one.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" kba="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjxvwGwrNHs1X3odKfguNLBBOy1sBCXZFUQlgKjHvolEQDkstWAauYZS3hUUjqx_cnrXY5Htm2zZk3RoM1YqPqv0DmC608hvDSuAoblptvbw_0Yw8d5Snd5NvQYhu7z3EYLfd_r0GsJfM7c/s320/one.jpg" width="215" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

And my favorite, <strong>Lucille. </strong>I got two different laminates for this one. One for the inside and one for the outside. I loved them both so much I couldn't decide which one to use for each side, so my husband designed me a magnet closure that allowed me to make the bag reversible. I get two bags in one.<br />

We have some really exciting things coming for 2012, but today, we wanted to share a story we read. It is a little long, but so worth the read.<br />
The story was written by Shirley Joffs who lives in Logan, Utah. A small town near me.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-9inT7JCHAfU/TvTinWeRcTI/AAAAAAAABCI/xo5vp-0mzJk/s1600/68208_148759135175420_100001240035477_283917_6997558_n.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" rea="true" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-9inT7JCHAfU/TvTinWeRcTI/AAAAAAAABCI/xo5vp-0mzJk/s320/68208_148759135175420_100001240035477_283917_6997558_n.jpg" width="240" /></a></div><br />
I was touched by it and asked if I could share it with ya'll today. She gave me permission. She also is started a new little business sewing aprons, ect. Find her on facebook at Shirl Girl Designs. I borrowed one of her profile pictures from facebook so we could put a face to the story.<br />
<br />
Enjoy the season with all your heart.<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <strong><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The Magic of Christmas Lies in Your Heart</span></strong></div><br />
<div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">by Shirley Joffs Dec. 2011</span></div><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="color: black; font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">( With apologies to those who may celebrate the winter holidays with other names, the intention of my story today is universal in spirit.)</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #cc0000; font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">As I pondered a Christmastime story, I found it difficult to focus on just one aspect of the holidays. M y feelings were a little like the season tends to get....stressed out, too busy, trying to 'get it all done', making all of the plans to make everything just perfect. In a moment of weakness, once, I tentatively suggested that we break with all tradition and just go to a warm climate for a week or two and do something entirely different The look on the faces of my children and grandchildren was of complete horror and disbelief.. ..so much for that idea. </span><span style="color: #cc0000; font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">But now that the tree is up and the gingerbread cookies made, I realize that I really would miss the traditions too, and I begin to focus on the important aspects of the season that I really do appreciate, particularly as a quiIter since that is our common tie here... .and this is what I want to share.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #cc0000; font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">I believe that it is unique to quilters to easily blend the past and the present. We are often drawn back to old quilt patterns, vintage fabrics, traditional uses of quilts, pioneer stories of how quilts were made and used and appreciated; on the other hand, we are excited by new patterns, new ideas and methods, beautiful new fabrics. We use both hand and machine quilting, but we quickly cut reproduction fabrics with our trusty rotary cutters or even cut out whole quilts in a matter of minutes with magical cutting machines. Christmas is a little like that for me I'm drawn back to days gone by, even as I shop for the I pad and put up the artificial tree; and while I hum traditional carols, I hear "Grandma got run over by a Reindeer" in the mall. </span><span style="color: #cc0000; font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">We can't avoid some of the plastic world, but being a quilter, a maker of handmade treasures, an addict of the creative process of quilting, gives us a special opportunity to make holidays to remember for ourselves and future generations. So here is my wish for all quilters....</span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"><br />
<span style="color: red;"></span></span><br />
<span style="color: #38761d;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"></span></span> <br />
<span style="color: #38761d;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">First, that as you "cut", remember to let C stand for Caring, and carefully creating and choosing gifts that uplift, encourage and cheer others. I saw a wonderful suggestion for gifts on an email message, In addition to your beautiful quilts and fabric items, give services like a manicure, a day of </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"> house cleaning, a car wash, a date night for a couple that can't afford a sitter, a sewing lesson for someone who has shown an interest in learning, or a breakfast date for a grandchild. Services keep people working and show how much we care. My husband would be disappointed if he didn't get his certificate for a massage or a pedicure. It's something he would never buy for himself.</span></span> <br />
<br />
<span style="color: #cc0000; font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">My second wish is that as you Handsew, remember to let "H " stand for Heart and Hearing and not "Hurry". So often I listen with my motor running. I'm thinking of what I'm going to say next, or I'm thinking of something else entirely. Really Hearing is an art that is a lifelong lesson for me. Hand sewing, putting on a binding, always slows my world down and helps me listen better. Better yet, being with grandchildren teaches the patience and hearing that I think I missed with my own children let hand sewing remind us.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"> </span><span style="color: #38761d; font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">My third wish is that as you "re-sew"... .as we always have to do, let "R" stand for rest and relaxation. I usually have to "re-sew" when I have pushed a project, tried to sew too fast or let myself get tired. There is something so restful about just staring at the Christmas tree and its reflection in the window. One of our family traditions at Christmas is to go for a slow ride with our children and now grandchildren, and look at ail of the different lighted homes. Sometimes we try to guess who lives there and what they must be like. For me, setting aside a day for a gift exchange and lunch with friends gives me a time to look forward to relaxing, forgetting for awhile all of the "doing" and just "be".</span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #cc0000; font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">And my fourth wish is that as you Iron, remember to let "I" stand for Icing on the cake. So often we settle when we could excel, we appreciate when we could 'relish with gusto', we hum when we could really sing. Icing on the cake is about the really 'special' things we do. I make gingerbread boys every Christmas; I've made them for 40+ years now. I found the recipe in an old Sunset magazine and, with a homemade cookie cutter I can make the little figures dance, pray, do yoga, swim.. .whatever my family is into for that year. Those special things and activities get represented on the gingerbread tree.</span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"><br />
</span><span style="color: #cc0000; font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Two years ago we were icing the cookies and Emma, my now 8 year old was helping. The icing tube went berserk and put a huge glob of icing on the cookie and without a thought I said "Lord A Mercy". We laughed so hard and then Emma said, "Nana, we should call the cookies with lots of icing, "Lord A Mercy Cookies".... So now they pick through the batch looking for Lord A Mercy Cookies because they love the sweet icing.</span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"><br />
<span style="color: #cc0000;"></span></span><br />
<span style="color: #cc0000; font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Life and quilting are like that too. When we make mistakes they can become blessings.</span><br />
<span style="color: #cc0000; font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">May you have a "Lord A Mercy Life Experience Daily" Think of Icing when you iron...</span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #38761d;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">My fifth wish is, that as you sew, also let S stand for "show and share". I feel sometimes that I do a lot of telling and not as much 'showing' by example. Just as we stand up in Guild meetings and show and share what we have done and therefore who we are, we do so by our lives every day. On our trips to Disney World with our grandchildren, we would often see frustrated, tired parents screaming at their crying, sad </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">children, "I've spent a ton of money to get you here so you WILL have fun, by George, so stop crying and start having fun!!!" Our sewing and our Christmas celebrations can be like that if we aren't careful. Spending a lot of money does not a successful experience make; hence the fun of a scrap quilt where we use what we have is like a quiet night of telling Christmas stories together. Or teaching a child how to make cookies by </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">really letting them get their hands in the dough... .1 Immmmmm. could it be that those we love want us to show and share ourselves and not our expensive gifts with them...</span></span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"><br />
</span><span style="color: #cc0000; font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">My sixth wish is that as you thread the bobbins and needles, let "T" stand for Trust. It is so easy to get grouchy, even judgmental of the flurry that seems so far removed from the real Spirit of Christmas, but just as those trusty sewing machines, sergers and quilting machines serve us if we oil and clean and service them, we can Trust that the Spirit that is at the heart of Christmas, whatever our faith or belief, will be there if we seek it out. It often seems that the thread breaks or the bobbin runs out at the most inopportune time, but if we focus on the thousands of times that it doesn't we can trust So, on the occasion when we think that our Faith has failed us, let's fill up the bobbin again, thread the needle once more and trust.</span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #38761d;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">My seventh wish is that as you Measure your fabric, M might stand for Mastery. I've told you the story of how I didn't measure my first hand-pieced rail fence quilt. I just blithely sewed strips together in a color pattern. Not one block was the same size... .a good quilter convinced me that I should not throw them all out, and she helped me "square them up", which I had never heard of. I keep that quilt in a visible basket to </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">remind me that we all start somewhere. I make similar mistakes every day in life, but as the saying goes, "God isn't through with me yet" so I can"t let that stop me. How many times have we failed to notice that the ruler is not straight on the cutting pad when we slice through a beautiful piece of fabric. Measure twice, cut once was my father's rule in carpentry. </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Probably the most important mastery we will learn in life is the art of trying again and again.</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #cc0000; font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">My eighth wish is that as you Applique, you will "ask" for what you need, what you want, and what you love. Whether it is by machine or by hand, applique is that special embellishment that says you are willing to take time to do it. Asking to have our own needs met is that special way of valuing ourselves, avoiding becoming a martyr and the anger and confusion that it creates. I thought early on in my marriage that Eric should 'divine' my needs, that is, know them before I even knew them and meet them..if he LOVED me. Asking is simply fair communication.</span><br />
<span style="color: #cc0000; font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">I used to be a potter. I carved out a little tiny spot next to the water heater to put my wheel, in a dark basement, near the furnace. My friend visited and said, "Oh, no, this will never do... .you are too fine a potter to treat yourself like this, ask for more.. .a space with light, elbow room..." Wow! That was one of life's best lessons for me.. .It may be something as small as a good seam ripper, an iron dedicated only to your sewing room, a new blade for your cutter, or a quilt kit that you've admired, or it could be a "date night with a partner or friends" or even a hug when you feel down. Don't ALWAY S put yourself second or you might get what my Mom called 'sour' on life.</span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #38761d; font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">My ninth wish is that when you sit down to sew, you make "S; stand for "Sing from you Soul" Sometimes I have to pinch myself when I realize how happy I am when I am sewing. I look forward to it, I relish it and I miss it when I can't do it..,,. .sounds like love to me. We quilters are fortunate that we have something that we love so much. If we take it as a lesson, we can remind ourselves that everything else we do can have that same kind of love if we live in the moment. Some sage person said, "Wherever you are, be there." So when we S, stand up from sitting and sewing, let's remember to take with us that same delight in life, that same attention to detail, that same willingness to make and mend mistakes, that same love of creating something beautiful in our world and with the people we love. In all we do, let us Sing from our Souls. Eleven-year-old Jackie Evancho, the singing sensation who has been featured on PBS this month was asked what she feels when she sings. Her wisdom was amazing. She said, "Something just takes over and feel soooo happy and relaxed."</span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"><br />
</span><span style="color: #38761d; font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">And then, oh, my, you should hear her sing.</span><br />

This was our final new pattern. An adorable bag called "The MARY JANE Bag". First time I had done large gromets. So easy, so fun.<br />
<br />
We stayed for festival, the retail side, a five day show, if you have never been there you need to come some time. We through up one new quilt, a remake from our GOOD DAY SUNSHINE pattern done for Christmas. Check the website, <a href="http://www.abbeylanequilts.com/">http://www.abbeylanequilts.com/</a> to see this pattern and the pillow book. <br />

She has a great blog full of ideas, and the ideas she had with our pillows were so fun.<br />

Here are a couple of your finished projects using our patterns. The best part for us is when you use our pattern as a stepping stone for your own creativity.<br />
<br />
Here is the email we received:<br />
<br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: blue;">Hello! </span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: blue;"></span><br />
<br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: blue;"></span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: blue;">At the end of the pattern you asked for pictures. Well, attached is a variation of the Clarabella bag for summer. The quilted part of the bag is the dissapearing nine patch. What do you think? </span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: blue;"></span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: blue;">Love your patterns. </span><br />

<br />
<span style="color: lime;">Hi, Ladies!</span><br />
<span style="color: lime;"></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: lime;"> We met at International Quilt Festival in Houston. I love your patterns, and attached you will find two pictures of the "Bungalow Bag." I call this one "Lilac Spring." </span><br />
<span style="color: lime;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="color: lime;">Anway, the beaded handle was a good color match and I bravely added a zipper. I am tickled pink (or should I say lilac) with the way it turned out !</span><br />
<span style="color: lime;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="color: lime;">Thank you for your inspiration!</span><br />

Thanks Anny, and how great that she named her bag.<br />
<br />
Joyce Dove of Granville, Illinois sent us the picture a long time ago. She said she would be making more Bungalow Bags so hopefully we will get more pictures.<br />

And the last big news, my youngest son flew in last night from Florida. I haven't seen him in over a year. So fun to have him in the house, and the first thing he is doing, folding Abbey Lane patterns. It is definitely a family business.<br />
<br />
Have a great weekend.

We had a crazy spring, new projects for market, the new book and a huge deadline, and in the middle of it all, I stopped and make a holiday pillow. It was fun and fast and immediately made it's way to my living room couch. So it hit us, let's do a PILLOW BOOK. We got our delivery from the printer the day before market. The book was a big hit. <br />
<br />
A TOUCH OF WHIMSEY has 12 different decorative pillows. From holidays to decorator, the pillows are quick and easy, and a great way to use up your stash or your favorite new fabrics. They have fun textures and embillishments too.<br />
