I also love your blog and thanks for all the great sayings and kind words. Also, I'm interested in your penny rug table runner and tree. Is there a chance you could share where I can locate the patterns. The tree is absolutely darling. I've made yoyo trees; however, this is a bit different. Thanks much!
Janet, The penny rug pattern is one of my patterns.#258 Cranberry Christmas. http://piecesfrommyheart.net/cranberry-christmas.html?SID=2dab1bd4f90cdff490784b3b3340bdfa The tree will be a new pattern for Christmas 2012 - to be released July of 2012.
I have always had an interest in art and sewing. My mother taught me how to sew at a young age. In high school I made my own clothes and made greeting cards for my friends. Later on I made cards for my boyfriend, who later became my husband. On the advice of my high school counselor I did not pursue a career in art. I was told that an "A" in high school art does not make you an artist. In 1988 I set out to prove that counselor wrong (or right) and started a greeting card company, " My Dream Designs." In 1992 I combined my love of art and sewing skills and the pattern company "Pieces From My Heart" was born. In spring of 1994, I attended my first international Quilt Market in St. Louis, where I was discovered by Moda Fabrics. Many fabric lines later, I am thrilled to be designing fabric for Moda. Designing fabric allows me to work with different color pallets, which is my favorite part of designing. I reside in Algona, Iowa with my husband Bruce. We have two grown children, Anthony and Abby. Pieces From My Heart Books and Patterns are available at your local quilt shop or go to www.piecesfrommyheart.net
