with the new pattern company, "Cotton Charm Quilt Designs"!
I've wanted to design quilt patterns for a long time, but the inability to construct the graphics (and being a little bit of a chicken) kept me from pursuing this dream.
Enter Sue F. - a wonderful girl I met at Quilt Market last fall - who does professional graphic design - and
Enter a whole bunch of encouraging Charming Girls in blogland,
Enter my friend Carol who is testing my first quilt pattern, "Jolly 'Ole St. Nicholas", and
VOILA
is born!!
I'm sending BIG, BLOGGY XOXO's to
all of you for your encouragement
to Sue for desiging this A-DOR-ABLE logo and opening the world of quilt designs to me with her graphic design expertise,
to Carol for testing my first pattern (and sharing great ideas to make it better), and
to my Studly - whose love and support makes Cotton Charm Quilts, Charming Chatter, and Cotton Charm Quilt Designs possible.
TTFN,
Kelly
WooHoo - this is such exciting news. :-)
Strike up the band and I'll dance across the desert. :-)
