Bedroom Style, Perfectly Pieced

It’s here!! It’s here! My Smarty-pants daughter’s book is finally here! Bedroom Style, Perfectly Pieced.

And it’s a masterpiece, I’ll tell you. It takes 10 different quilt patterns and shows you how to change the entire look and style of a room, by simply changing the fabric that your working with. I’m not even a hardcore “quilter” but I loved learning how to create different moods and feelings with certain color collections. It’s something that I’ve struggled with forever–that color thing.

After reading through this lovely thing, I think I finally, FINALLY get it.

And there is the slightest possibility that I will be able to choose my own yarn for the next crochet project without having to check in with my girl…you know, to make sure I wasn’t doing it…wrong, or ugly or unforgivably out of date. It’s an empowering feeling, I’ll tell you.

april's book!

So here’s what I think. I think you should click right here to get your own copy. Then take a picture of yourself holding the book in your own bedroom and go to April’s website and enter to win a $1000 Crate & Barrel Bedroom MAKEOVER!! Yeah, uh-huh.

The odds are good that you could win–so DO IT!!

You’ll become a color blending genius and we’ll love you forever.

Can’t beat that.

April's Best.Day_.EVER-1 - Copy

This will be short because you need to run right from this place and scoot on over to The {studio} Blog by my sweet, smarty-pants daughter April. She has some big, monumental, incredible, dream-come-true kind of news.

And I couldn’t possibly be more proud.

Quilty Girl

I’ve been away from this space for a bit with my smarty pants daughter April–at the International Quilt Market in Houston, Texas. We had an amazing time but sadly, neither of us brought a camera–assuming, of course, that the other one surely had. Oooooh, bad form, I know. SO, I’ll have to see what I can come up with from Instagram, Pinterest, Facebook and whatever else I find, to share some of our adventure.

It. Was. AWESOME.

Amazing

Let’s pretend for a moment that I am an avid quilter and I just saw these two lovely magazines on the stand at the store.

“My, my,” I would say, “just look at that beautiful quilt on the cover there.

Someone very clever must have made that.

Someone very clever indeed, to have her own design and quilt work featured in a national magazine…

oh, wait…

I mean, in two national magazines…at the same time. “

 

Now let’s pretend that I’m actually a lot of things but one of them is not an avid quilter.

In fact, let’s pretend that I’m just a lady with a huge love and appreciation not only for the beautiful quilting craft…

but for an incredibly talented daughter as well.

Congratulations honey. We’re so proud of you.

love,

Mom
