Spring Quilt Market 2012 is  now over. It was a great success and so much fun!

One of my favorite parts was FINALLY getting to show my fabric designs.  Thrilled to get to show them to you now!

So….Here she is…

Delicious Wishes

Inspired by one of my favorite things in the world-

FOOD

I love food! Beautiful dessert tables full of tasty surprises.

Lacy doilys  and  table cloths.

Fruity flavored sparkling drinks….

and striped paper straws

Sugary hard candies,

and fresh fruits.

Cinnamon buns,

and sweet boxes of chocolates!

Now, the next wait has begun. The wait for it to be printed so that I can start sewing, and the wait until November to see it in stores .

Much love and thanks for all of the support and well wishes my friends!

Love, Jana

We are SO excited to finally show you what we have been working on! 

….and we couldn’t keep our Big Secret a Secret any longer.

Introducing our Spring / Summer 2012 Izzy & Ivy designs-

First up is Brooklyn’s Boho Beachwear. 7 fantastic patterns to dress your girl in for the entire summer!

Next we have Blossom’s Garden Party. This book is full of fun new skirts to keep her twirling.

And now…

We are thrilled to introduce Izzy and Ivy’s little brother.

Our new line of patterns for BOYS!!!

Muddy Max is a fun little boy that likes to get into stuff and has a great imagination!

The first booklet, Monster Mash, is filled with stuff for a Monster sleepover- Nap mat, quilt, PJ’s, softie and more!

The second booklet in this line is Marshall’s Favorite Fishin’ Hole. (Starring my cute little nephew!)

Fishing Hat to keep the sun off your nose, fishing vest, t-shirt, and fishing game!

Izzy, Ivy and Max have great adventures coming their way!!!

We hope that you love them as much as we do.

Next week is Quilt Market in Kansas City. I get to finally show off my line of fabric and I can’t wait to blog about it!

Love to you all!

Jana

The Nielson Family Visit the Spiral Jetty

October 15, 2011

The Nielson Family Visit the Spiral Jetty . again.

What a difference a year can make!

Last year we couldn’t even see the lake from the Jetty and this year it was under it!

When we could start to see the Spiral Jetty I got chills and started to tear up. I’m not sure why (or how) a bunch of rocks can make me feel like that but it never fails to amaze me!

Another major difference this year, besides the water covering the jetty was that the water was

PINK.

For Real!

Like it knew I was coming so It put on its makeup.

(because I think I am so cool that nature would change itself for me. Oh Brother!)

It was UNREAL!

I claimed this place and called it Jana-topia.

The sky was a perfect blue, the water pink, the jetty awesome…the only thing missing was a Unicorn running on the sandy beach.

It is a pretty rocky hike down to the Jetty. We felt like we were on another planet almost.

Hubs and the kids started walking the jetty . The younger ones had to head back after about 20 feet . The water was getting a little deep.

Danny (almost 5), Jessica (almost 17 and refused to let me post pics of her), and I stayed on the beach and played in the water. Jess was having fun catching Brine Shrimp…ew.

Jeff (almost 41)  and Smith (almost 14) made it to the very center of the spiral! They reported that the water was COLD!

It was a beautiful day. Everyone was happy and having fun.

A little bit like Heaven.
