A Needle Pulling Thread, New Panto Pattern

It's taken me a little while to get this on here - what with the holiday season and all - but here it is:


This is the cover of the issue that my project is in! I walked into my Overwaitea yesterday and saw it on the shelf. I wonder if the excitement of having a project published wears off? I've been anticipating this for months - so much so that it's strangely anticlimactic having it finally out. All the work that I did was 'way back in the summer for this (talk to me sometime about trying to find beautiful Christmas prints in August...). It's interesting that most of the 'major' publicity work that I did over the course of last year all came out the week before Christmas. I guess I'll have to work on my timing!

Anyhoo - the project is called 'Noelle', and is a little angel wall hanging. I hope you like it.


On another note, Jodi Beamish released a new panto pattern yesterday on my behalf, Cumulus. It's based on a freehand cloud pattern that is very popular with my customers on their 'woodsy/outdoorsy' or star and sky quilts. It's fully interlocking with a two row repeat. The clouds in it are sunny day clouds, I find them kind of cheerful.
Well, I'm back to work on Zoe's quilt. It's almost done. I was having a little bit of thread tension trouble, but think it's working now. It's good to get back to stitching after a break.

Lisa,
Love that new Cumulus panto. I just ordered it from jodibeamish.com.

I can't wait to use it on a quilt top I have now.

I love your work. Thanks.

Lisa,
I love your work. I just bought your new panto, Cumulus, from the jodibeamish.com web-site. I have a quilt top that will be perfect for this lofty pattern.
Thanks so much for posting.
