The Glen-harrow stitch-in is now over for Rosie so we are both getting our skates on this morning and upping the "Get ready for Houston" ante!!! Today we have started in a flurry, doing photos, updating catalogues, making samples and writing patterns..... I think this may be the pace of the next couple of weeks.
Over the weekend I finally finished making the addition to the "Lantern Strings" pattern....
And I made this cute set of fabric lanterns that can be tied on a string and hung on the wall, from the ceiling, or in a tree at your next party.....
I can just picture my little Boo's bedroom with the new quilt on the bed and fabric lanterns hanging from the ceiling - just too cute. I am thinking I may make some non-stringed versions for on my bookshelves to give the lounge a quick burst of fresh colour too!
I have put together the photo and now am going to sit down to write the pattern, which of course means that there is a giveaway due! So leave a comment on this post if you would like to be one of 3 lucky winners to win a copy of the new pattern.
Back to work for me!!!

Lovely lanterns! They are very sweet. I hope all goes well for Houston and that you and Rosalie have a wonderful time.
I missed you on the weekend at Glenharrow - I was there on Saturday!
