Patty Sloniger & Emma's Garden!

Hello there! I'm really happy to be guest posting here on the MMF blog to kick off my Blog Tour for Emma's Garden. It's going to be a fun week and a half, filled with lots of projects and tutorials, and a giveaway on every stop!


Emma's Garden is a collection I dreamed up when I found out I was expecting a little girl, my first. I knew I wanted this collection to be something I could make dresses out of, for her and for me. It had to have florals and butterflies, and some classic motifs as well.

Have I mentioned how awesome it is to see both our names on the selvedge?!

 
I had so much help sewing up samples for my booth at Spring Quilt Market, here are Emma and I being silly in a romper Rebekah made for her! (Don't mind me while I post just a few pics of the little one!)


Playing in the grass with a softie by Liz Pawlik that will be making an appearance with another animal friend later.


and a darling baby quilt by Hilary of YoungTexanMama .


This little number was one of emma's favorite to wear because it was sooo soft. Felice Regina of SewScatterbrained crocheted the top yoke, and I sewed on the skirt. 


Check out that sweet, scalloped collar!


You'll also be getting a better look at this cute, reversible wrap-top also sewn up by Liz Pawlik of FatChickQuilts a little later on the tour, but I couldn't resist previewing it here.


Finally, here's a sneak peek at a few of the other projects you'll get to see...

Quilt Market Round Up :: Part 1

It was all flowers, fountains and fun in the Michael Miller booth at Quilt Market! I always try to take a before and after photo since we start setup with a completely blank canvas...
Below are some shots of set up... We had to have an impromptu sewing circle to add some hanging loops to the quilts. It usually takes two full days to complete the booth but it was well worth all of the hard work-- especially since we headed to Emporio for meatballs to celebrate :)
....................
Each corner of our booth represented a different collection. This is Part 1 of a 2 part Quilt Market Round-up.

 Below is a "snapshot" of the fashionista's sewing studio which included our lovely pastel collection, Spring Fling.

Violet Craft, Emily Herrick and Patty Sloniger created amazing displays this Spring in the Michael Miller booth... I've constructed some mood boards for their collections so that you can see some of their beautiful projects...
