Spring Craziness! BIG Announcement....

Sooooo.....you ALL know we've been crazy busy getting ready for Spring Market in Salt Lake City in just a few short weeks.  VERY FEW!!!

But.

What we have sort of kept under wraps is the OTHER show we're doing.
At. The. Same. Time!


And in NYC for that matter.  Yes, we're trying our hand at surface design.  We figured, hey, we have LOTS of art...why not see if it can be used elsewhere, right?  Wrapping paper, napkins...shoot, refrigerator magnets???  Ok, maybe not.
But really, with surface design, the sky is the limit.
We hope!

Here's a little video about Surtex from their site.  See if you notice a certain fabric designer!





So lest you think we've been lazy not updating our blog much lately, here's a list of what 
we HAVE been doing:

* 3 retail shows in 3 different states (Jan, March)
* 2 guild shows (April)
* Aurifil blog hop (February)
* Fairfield featured designers (March)
* put out TWO FREE eMagazines (check the left sidebar!) (Feb, April)
* Designed, made, quilted, bound and wrote patterns for...
10 NEW PROJECTS!  Yes. 10. (April)


(sneak peek at a few of those!)

So naturally we thought, you know, we're not quite busy enough.
Let's do another show!  The same weekend as spring market!  Hooray!
And add to the list:

* figure out art licensing
* catalog every scrap of Lizzie B artwork (which took 4.5 hours to upload)
* design not ONE but TWO booths

And last but not least....make the very SAD very HARD decision to divide and conquer.

Which is to say...the Lizzie B's won't BOTH be at Spring Market OR at Surtex.

Beth will be doing Spring Market in SLC solo, and I will be in NYC.
It'll be new for us.  And strange.

We hope you'll wish us GOOD LUCK in both ventures! (we're gonna need it!)



And we promise to keep ya posted.
