If you happen to meet us on the street and we seem a little frazzled...there is an explanation.  Actually, there are a few different reasons why we've been running around like crazy women:

#1.  My sister got married recently.  Weddings are great, but they sure are a lot of work.

#2.  We had a quilt retreat the first weekend of this month (in between the two wedding receptions) at our family cabin.

#3.  We're working on two new projects:  We are compiling our monthly wall hanging and table runner patterns into books.  They will be put together in seasons with three new projects for each month.  Winter and Spring are due to come out in October (hopefully...).  We lightened our load by hiring sewers and quilters, but, oh! the binding takes a long time...as well as writing and drawing diagrams etc. etc. etc.  Check back for more information on these projects.

#4.  We've also been assisting in putting a pattern book together for Riley Blake Designs, our good friends from Christensen Wholesale.  The patterns use their upcoming lines of fabric, and we are so excited to see it near completion!

#5.  We are expanding!  We started as a small in-home business, but our hobby and work have overtaken my mom's house, and Pie Plate Patterns will soon have a new home (right next door to my mom's house).  The foundation is done.  Wes did an excellent job and he was fast!  My brother, Ross, is doing the framing (with Jared and Jason's help) The walls are all up, and we are thrilled that we'll be able to declutter the house once and for all and have our own place to work.  Here are some pictures of the construction!

Keep smilin!
