WebOS TouchPad, now with Flash!

It's been brewing for a while now, finally two great pieces of news in one day. Palm Pre3 (HP's WebOS) will be able to run Adobe Flash and the very cool looking TouchPad.

Santa's on his Way Hawaiian Applique

New product at the shop by Stacy Mitchell. Using the Accucut system these lovely and detailed blocks are easily stamped out of pre-fused fabric. This produces a positive and a negative, two blocks from one!

I love technology (or "I want one!")

Just cool. What can I say asides from I want one, seriously I'd love to work with one! Been wanting to see this for a couple of years now. Though with the right sized tablet I might not need an entire laptop. How about a tablet that I easily link to my phone?

New Purse Pattern

Working on designing a purse pattern for a friend. She's had this awesome little purse for at least a decade but it's starting to fall apart. So she's asked me to use it in the design of a replacement one with some alterations. Call me a geek but it's a fun challenge to draft a new pattern up. So far the prototype looks pretty good. A few problems trying to sew the purse so the inside was as nicely finished as the outside. Looks like I'll need to use bias binding strips to cover the overcast edges on the inside. Pics as I get a little further. If this is a workable purse pattern I'll see about offering it online for those interested.

Have a favorite old purse/handbag that you wish you could have new again? Let me know what makes it so handy, send pictures and some basic measurements. Renee's House of Quilting has dozens and dozens of purse patterns, I'm sure we can find something similar!

New Collections Up

Just got a batch of products up at http://www.reneeshouseofquilting.net/

Some very lovely pieces there.  Free Spirit has some great pieces in the Heavenly Peace collection.  I do love the 50/50 cool greys.  Added a new asian collection and a new Moda collection as well.  Not enough hours in the day to work with all those lovely fabrics!
