Sign Language Quilt Story

Bonita is one of our customers. She made a Sign Language quilt for her great-granddaughter-in-law who earned her degree in Deaf Education. Here is a picture of her quilt.

I recently received an email from a gentleman who saw the quilt. He asked to be connected to Bonita because he wanted to do something for a special person. I gave his contact information to Bonita. Turns out he wants to do a similar quilt for a baby in a baby blocks setting.

It is unbelievable that technology allows babies to have their hearing tested at birth. We were lucky enough to be in the room when they tested our granddaughter in the hospital. Here is a picture of Tristyn's hearing test.

It's amazing that the Internet can bring people together with common interests who would never "meet" otherwise. In this case a beautiful quilt for a very special baby will be the outcome of a chance meeting through our website.

Puyallup Show in Review

The show over the weekend was the "Soft Opening" of our booth featuring Bird Brain Designs patterns and redwork accessories. Many of our existing customers stopped by and we met lots of Bird Brain's customers who were excited to see us. Snowmen seemed to be the most popular items.

Along those lines, we're featuring two Snow Themed patterns this week.

Snow Mom RedWork Stocking features  Mrs. Snowman and her Snow Kids. Make it as a stocking or turn it into a pillow or small wall hanging to keep out all winter long. A set of five ornaments are included in the pattern.

Snowmen RedWork Ornaments will brighten your Christmas Tree. They would also make adorable gift tags for the special people on your gift list. Why not string them together to make a Snowman garland that you can keep out all winter long? Put them together with a little sashing to make a small wall hanging.

Make these snow people now and enjoy them this winter and for many winters to come.

New Granddaughter

My first grandchild was born yesterday. Her name is Tristyn Rylee Snyder. She is a precious gift and I'm so excited about being a grandma. This is the first picture taken of both of us. She was about two hours old. Those two hours from when she was born until I got to see her for the first time seemed like twice that long.
