Almost October...


Well, I haven't done so well on my resolution to keep this blog current. But, I have gotten some new inspiration from a fellow Etsian and friend Kay Zoretic. Check out her Etsy Shop http://www.etsy.com/shop.php?user_id=54302 as she is a fabulous silversmith and has some really wonderful jewelry. This is one of my favorite items... simple but elegant.

Fresh Start

Okay, today I am going to make a fresh start. I am going to try to keep this blog current but I have to admit it is a bit of a struggle. The decision of whether to spend time on the computer or time on the sewing machine is hard... but I almost always choose the sewing machine :-).



So... what is new here? On the personal front, I am developing my lesson plans for school. We will begin classwork on Monday and I have a lot to finish up.



What is new at Poppy Patch Quiltery? Well, the production of Christmas items have taken the top spot on my to-do list. I plan to have much of my inventory completed before the hectic holiday season starts. In addition to my fabulous (if I do say so myself) 6 and 7 foot Christmas Tree Skirts, I am planning to début my Jesse Tree ornament sets this year. These should be listed on my site (http://poppypatch.etsy.com/) by mid October.



Coming soon, I am creating beginner level sewing kits for children and youth. Look for listings in my Etsy shop (http://poppypatch.etsy.com/) .

Okay - off to sew now....
