Lilies of the Field and Go Figure!

Lilies of the Field, my latest fabric line for Moda is shipping to stores this week.



my latest Block of the Month pattern made out of  "Lilies of the Field".  It's 62" x 76"


And these are two 14" x 14" Circle/Star Candlemats.


And last but not least is "Let Freedom Ring"
my latest patriotic wallhanging.


There are 3 more patterns - you can go to the store to see them now or I'll post them on my blog next week

Today is Friday the 13th but it's felt like it was Friday the 13th for more than a week.
We're switching systems, from Quickbooks to Quickbooks online.
I'm sure we're going to love it once we get all of the kinks out or rather, once they do.
At the moment when we try to enter a customer s information to charge and ship an item, it works for about 3 - 4 entries a day and then starts giving us "error" messages.
Tammie has been on the phone with customer service for 4-5 days and nothing has shipped out.
Finally today we went back to the old system of plain Quickbooks and we got a lot of items entered and invoiced.  Hopefully we'll be able to import them into Quickbooks online when they figure things out.
The first installment of Spring Break and the Finishing Kit for the 2014 Mystery Quilt should finally be shipping next week.
I mean it never rains but what it pours.  Actually it will be snow, not rain, on Monday but you know what I mean.

Anyway, to celebrate the fabric, I decided to do a pattern Give Away.  To win a copy of all of these 3 of my patterns + a Charm bundle, make a comment, any old comment and I'll have a drawing Tuesday morning.

  11. Happy Valentine's Day to you!
    I hate when my pc decide to do what it wants and not what I want. Lucky for me I have a big brother who's a computer freak and can always help me (and is willing to do it). Yeah for big brothers! Hope your problems will be solved soon.

  37. Dear Jan,
    I'm only a beginner at quilting and I soon found out, that the appliqué-technique is absolutely mine! After scanning the Internet for a while I even sooner found YOU! I love you and your work! I love watching and learning from you at YouTube! I want to make every single quilt you've ever done - well at least a few ;o). Yesterday I received your book Winter Quilts which I ordered in England - gorgeous! I've started collecting, but it is very hard to find anything books or fabric here in Germany. Will there be a chance of buying your new fabric collection Lilies of the Field in Germany? I haven't found anything yet. The shipping costs from the US to Germany are so awfully high - that's why I'm asking... I love your new collection soooo much! Thank you Jan for sharing your talents and everything! I love you. Please adopt me. I want to live where you live. Not far from Missouri Star Quilt. Oh well. I really live in the wrong place..... Thank you!!!!!!!! I'm really am one of your fans ;o))))))
