What a fabulous idea, the rubberised backing for the rugs! I love the big flag pattern using the ruffled rick rack too! Ingenious and so charming! I loved watching this interview, it was very motivating and inspiring I wish i had your creativity! But i am glad i can gain some of your great products!
Thanks again,

I LOVE the flower rugs. They are so girlie. I will have to hide the pattern from 6 and 8 year old daughter until the day I am ready to make them, otherwise they may just sew them up themselves – hey wait a minute – that’s a good idea too!

In respect to the interview, I appreciate the focus on short-term projects. I have three kids and some of my more ambitious projects go unfinished and it can become discouraging. I find that smaller projects give me a sense of accomplishment and I’m more inclined to take on another.

Loved Gina at quilt market! She was so great and friendly and I feel honored to have met her! Gina, darling, I LOVE your diaper/rug changer idea!!!!! I made a small quilt to match my babys crib set, and actually use it as both! a rug right in front of the crib and diaper changer (it’s so much easier to do it on the floor these days)!!! I love the no slip idea on the back! I will be checking that out from Moda for sure!

P.S. thank you so much for the Tina Givens give away!!!! I am sooo thrilled to be receiving yards of delicious, fun fabric to try out on some new patterns I purchased there at market! You girls are fantastic!

That was a great interview! Quilts that make up so quickly, love that! Those aprons did it for me, right along with the Dew Drop little rug! What talent, to make that up just before Quilt Market and be such a big hit! And so necessary, what a unique gift to make for a new Mom! I woulld love those big flowers scattered around my home! Your giveaway is very generous, I feel I loved seeing the inside look at Market.Where did they get those Long Johns?? Darling.
