Or actually, this is a post about the fact that Heather Ross left me a comment on my last post and posted photos of the two blouses I made on her blog. (and I’ve talked about nothing else all weekend!)
Should I be as thrilled as I am? I think so. I’ve been a fan of her fabric since I started sewing – and in fact, fabrics like hers are what actually got me into sewing – and now I’m in love with her new book, so having her comment and post about what I made from her book was so fun.
She asked me to provide her readers with the modifications I made on my second blouse, and they’re now posted on her blog if you want to take a look. Thanks Heather!
(just because I needed a photo!)

Weekend Sewing – summer blouse take 2
I succumbed to the Orla Kiely mania



























Yea you! I would be over the moon to be recognized in such fashion (pun intended!). Totally love v.2 and now preparing to love the bathing suit cover up…only I am way too intimidated to try a garment. Sigh.
Yes!! Yes you should. I picked up the book this weekend and I can’t wait to get started. Somehow, I doubt I’ll be featured as you were, but that’s okay. I’ll wear my new dress with pride anyway.
Wow! I’d be thrilled, too. Congratulations.
How exciting. But you deserve it – the blouses you made were gorgeous.
that is so exciting!! i think i’d be jumping for joy too!!
I would be doing cart wheels. Very cool!
How awesome. If I were you, I wouldn’t stop talking about it for two weeks.
F-A-M-O-U-S!!! Congrats!
I was excited for you when I saw her comment and then her post about your pictures…Congrats!!
OMG I would be so excited! I don’t know if everyone’s heard, but you’re kind of a big deal (to paraphrase Christian from Project Runway). Wow! I’m not sure I could restrain myself from asking her to send me a bolt each of the entire Lightning Bugs line! Yeah…i’m pretty sure I would ask.
sweet! congrats – i’d be super excited too
You’re completely deserving of her recognition. Exciting!
so the pattern for that top is in her book or you just used her fabric for it?
I too would love to make this one.
congrats! that is so exciting! you are incredibly talented, this is just the beginning!
Yea! How fun.
I was thinking of you today. My local quilting shop is closing next month and they are having a HUGE sale. I found three different bolts of Flea Market Fancy today. Email me if you’re interested and I’ll see if I can describe them to you (or locate some photos online) and let me know if you want me to send them to you.
That’s wonderful! Congratulations!!!
Congratulations! That is very exciting! Wow!
this is so excititng!i would still be talking about it too!
