The new fabric is in! The new fabric is in! I designed
another set of limited edition Raven themed fabric for
the Quilted Raven and I
LOVE how it printed! The fabric is 100% cotton Batik and is available in a variety of
color-ways. This year Jana, the owner of
The Quilted Raven decided to offer
customers a companion design in which I incorporated my favorite “swirls” with
Raven foot prints and accents. I had a chance to take quick digital
pictures of the fabric as the store was trying to close for the night –I'll try and get some better photos of the fabric, but
I couldn’t wait and had to snap these quick digitals! The little
“Quilt Stars” below are clever fat quarters folded for customers and have a cool
antler bone and souvenir tag for embellishment –aren’t they CUTE?! The fabric
just arrived this week and has been selling fast –
whew!

In Alaska, we have about 90 days of real
summer…and usually only a fraction of those days are sunny. Starting June 1 the
clock starts ticking to get all of your summer construction done, gardens
planted, summer BBQ’s cooking, and get in a little fishing –ALL IN 90 DAYS.
With the “new” old house our summer to-do list is growing. Daddy-O has the old
shed out, new shed built, sheetrock out, new plumbing (almost) in, shingles and
materials bought and the new roof is up next!
My new front garden beds have been dug and topsoil is ordered for
delivery while my arms are killing me –I am so out of shape because I haven’t
been slinging steel like I normally do and just sewing hasn’t helped to firm up my
arm flab! I’m about 2 weeks behind on the garden projects but not a problem
because the temps have still been a bit cool.

The one sunny Saturday we did have this week the family needed to attend Gus’
Tae Kwon Do Tournament in Wasilla. We love our son and were proud
he took 3
rd place in Forms and 3
rd place in Sparring –but
I admit it was really hard to sit
inside the sports complex while peeking out the
back door that was propped open seeing that it was a rare blue-bird day outside!
