I can't believe my first baby has graduated and is off to Maine for the Summer (prep cook at a camp) then to college in August... we love you Elian Grace Miller. It doesn't seem but yesterday when we were buttoning up onesies... but none quite like these -
made by Cathy Messenger of Union Springs, NY, in the Sketch print from my Botanica Collection.
The smocking is breathtaking! Thanks for sharing Cathy.
And remember Elle, you're never too old to swing!

Quite an honour to find my Charleston Farmhouse fabrics in the pages of this magnificent mag - the work of designer Marilyn Foreman of Quilt Moments and made, I believe, by Pam of Delray Fabrics.
Merci tout le monde!

Here's a view of a lap quilt in my Botanica Collection for Free Spirit. 1. Wrap a mattress on a Miller Tilling youth bed to turn it into a cosy reading nook...
2. Provide a cover for your fave set of wheels...
3. Create a world for your animals and playthings - hours of fun on a wintry day.

"Tromping through the snow, with a purple plastic sleigh,
O'er the fields we go...."
And here is my simple happy version - Twirly Tree - on a Capsari Christmas Card - I am so very bad at sending out cards myself, so this one goes out to ALL of you with the very WARMEST of wishes and LOVE - I will try to be a better blogger in 2014 too - your friend - Felicity

I have been waiting to post this picture for a year -- this is the first quilt I designed with Charleston Farmhouse which Doodah promptly claimed as his own! After much ado and hard work on the part of many players (thanks Jeanne, Shamsu, Sheila and the team at Rizzy) it is now available at Nordstrom, online and in selected stores.
This was the approved sample from Rizzy, hand-quilted in India. Also available are a quilted sham and throw pillow. I would love to share any pictures of the quilt or pillows in use - submissions welcome!

Here it is again - this time in Sampler from Charleston Farmhouse - see previous post for free pattern.This time it was a sewing project for our amazing Miller Tilling/Felicity intern, Cassandra.
She plans on using it to carry books from Brooklyn to the Cooper Union where she resumes studies in September. Come back soon...
A Dahlia Leaf bag for a beautiful person - local trainer extraodinaire Chris Brozon from Team Brofit. She liked it enough to want another in Gypsy Music.
Thank you Chris - you bring light wherever you go...

The layout for Amy Smart's "Boho Girl" Quilt (McCall's Quilting magazine May/June 2013) gets the Doodah seal of approval. Elisa has the top all sewn and will be sharing the quilted results with us soon - she was gracious to let the little canine tromp all over her lovely work - THAT's a good neighbour!

In New York for work a couple of weeks ago, Jeanne and I stopped for refreshment at the one and only Tea and Sympathy. We drank our Yorkshire Gold and watched as this brill London taxi pulled up with Cuthbert at the helm. Perfect.
Sean says it takes 2 hours to walk a couple of blocks beacuse everyone wants a cuddle with Cuthbert.
A truly nice cup of tea. A cosy corner. And don't forget some baked beans on toast with a bit of grated Cheddar on top. The world could use a little more of this T&S.
Lovely Nicky Perry - owner - thank you, thank you for keeping this gem on Greenwich Ave alive and well. It's part of a Britain that seems to be disppearing from the home shores, and it warms my toes to find it just 5 hours from my door right here in the US.
