New Name

The girls and I have been trying for months to come up with a good name for our shop, if we ever have enough stock to open one.  To our great surprise, my husband is the one who suggested a name.  Here it is:  Dearli Designs.  Can anyone guess the significance of that name?  Here it is:

DEborah ARielle LIana.  So we are now Dearli Designs.  We even ordered business cards.

 

My student Lynn finished another bag.  She is very motivated to sew!  She has even cut out the pieces for three more bags.  As you can see, she knows how to combine fabrics to make a unique creation.  Saturday she asked if I wanted to go with her to a local quilt store.  That's where you head for inspiration, but I try to limit my visits to real quilt stores (as opposed to the retail chain where we usually shop).  I am just too tempted by the beautiful (and expensive) fabrics.  I couldn't resist these two from the Grand Finale Collection from Moda.  They are called Leaves on Goldenrod and Leaves on Walnut.  I'm not sure what I will make, but I love the colors!
