I had a great experience in Portland, Oregon this past Friday. An appearance on KATU's morning talk show; AM Northwest! To view the segment click here. What fun, check out our studio audience - the Red Hat Society in full regalia!
The main emphasis was our Dick and Jane collection and all the great projects, like this Dick and Jane lunch box kit.
After the show I had a great time at Fabric Depot meeting fellow fabricholics and even getting to see what they created.
For those of you that might not know, our company name, Michael Miller Fabrics is actually the combination of my biz partners' first name and my last name. Here's your chance to hear the Michael in Michael Miller Fabrics. Daria of Boutique Cafe did a fun, candid, unscripted podcast with him. It's her 100th podcast. Way to go Daria!
Hey there! lots going on behind the scenes here getting ready for the next line release, not to mention Quilt market. More on that in future postings. For now,check out this kid friendly bean bag chair from the ever creative Joanna of Stardust Shoes. What kid wouldn't want to plop down on this Dick and Jane comfy spot and take a trip back in time with reprints of those Dick and Jane Readers from the 60s.
Beth was asking if there was a quilt pattern planned for our new Tot Town collection? Well; voila! check out the cute roll up Merryville playmat on jcaroline's blog. While you're on her blog check out the great sneak peeks from Paula Prass and Patty Young. Both will be debuting their Collections in Houston at Quilt Market.

Yep, that's it; the updated Oscar Meyer weiner mobile. I spotted it on the drive to the airport and tailed it to the gas station.
Unfortunately I had a plane to catch, otherwise I would have stuck around to ask the big question; what kind of gas mileage does it get????
It's another Tuesday and todays' two tutorials from Joanna of Stardust Shoes will keep baby stylishly safe and entertained. I love the Car Seat Strap Covers because they can be washed and create a softer edge against the skin. The Quilted Pocket Pillow is perfect for the little hide-a-way softie from First Sights' cute critters.
Here we are again with Tuesday two'fers! 2 tutorials each Tuesday by Joanna of Stardust Shoes using our First Sight collection. Here's two more goodies to catch the little ones' attention: Baby rings and a pocket organizer.
