I feel like a dormant seedling right now. Just working about under this snow cover. This winter has been full of reconnecting with family and trudging forward. The moment we have waited for arrives with the Early Spring Edition of Country Gardens Magazine. Check out the fun project to put together for your garden this year. Grab a cup of tea and dream of Spring with me.<br />
Don't forget about the winter garden of fabric at Fern Hill. I have been working on some new fun displays bringing some of the fabric downstairs. So now you can get all of your wheels turning.

A BIG Thank you to the gang at Quilt Trends (the magazine formerly known as Fabric Trends)! This is such a great look! Like Mad Men meets color! Go out and get the magazine today- as usual it is filled with innovation! Peace.<br />

Please make a point to stop into Henry's Market in Homestead, IA. We are putting the final touches on a beautiful gazebo style garden shed. But we are having some negative feedback and would appreciate your support. This is a temporary structure so it won't be there for long. Just enough to promote this beautiful area, natural Iowa food from local growers, and to elevate awareness of the historical area.<br />
Thanks to everyone who have already supported this amazing project. ;-) May there be much love and slow food in your life<br />

I got home from Quilt Market/Festival in Houston, yesterday. Debuting Flower Bomb and Jardiniere at Market and then moving on to Festival! We were all so exhausted. It was so wonderful to have the support for Daydreams II, Earth Elements, Human Element, Wildwood and everything!!! I couldn't believe the energy! But when I got home I peered into the studio and started crying... Joey Glass (my constant angel)- and my husband Marc (my best friend) cleaned out my whole studio! It is like paradise- I can't wait to sew and paint...

Exciting new designs are on their way jumping out of my head and landing everywhere. It seems I can't paint fast enough. I am also stewing on some original quilt designs that needed to be done yesterday. Yesterday...<br />

I'll keep you posted more regularly on new designs. My daughter Paige MacKenzie helped me redo my blog. She is pretty gifted with the graphics. And I always love stealing flowers from Joe Glass ;-)<br />

I want to put something out there that is real. It is not always pretty and wrapped up in brown paper packages. Life is stressful, but I know I am blessed. My children are all healthy. My work is exhausting, but worth it. Sometimes when I am in the middle of a painting I feel like a ghost. I do the tasks that need to be done like make chicken noodle soup, clean most of the house, try to get the bird's nest out of the fireplace vent thingy, pick up Leemie bop from school, deal with college financial needs- but I float through it while I am painting so of course then I feel guilty about that. Like I'm sorry that I am not all there, that I am just a hologram. ;-)<br />
I finally get to a place where I want to be and the rug is pulled out from under me. Don't ever give up. Demand more especially now and if you are truly an artist then buy art fabric. Art is just a common expression, a translation of emotion- whatever that emotion may be. But I believe in that. I believe in the expression of true hand done art- in our schools, for our children as well as our own spirits we owe it to ourselves not to settle. Support the translation in whatever language it may be written. Peace.<br />

It was a gorgeous day! Snuck on over to Barb's, a dangerous place and walked home with arms full of inspiration. We took Liam to the Sweet Corn Festival and now he is crashed. I wish we could all pass out when we need to.

I have all my colors in their baskets. I reset my compass and look to the future with contemplation. Daydreams production yardage arrived and greets me right at the front door. My new line that I am painting is a really amazing way to look at flowers and the world as we know it.

Daydreams II is still cookin but will be as amazing as the first collection when it is finished. This has been such a crazy time for me... with my daughter graduating and then my uncle passed away unexpectedly. When I work on the sets I help build for Camelot Cottons, or the Country Gardens projects I always think of him. He was an amazing craftsman.

As soon as I get to work on something I start thinking about painting, quilt design and all that fun stuff. <div>I have developed Daydreams 2, cartes de couture (which are sewing cards) for the Camelot projects with the help of Home Ec in Iowa City, and printed a new pattern which will work for Daydreams 1 or 2. I really had some fun making a Wildwood quilt using metallic organza overlay and wools. So it has been a wonderful start to the new year. </div>Stephanie Brandenburghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10567731983156224521noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7979749978550622348.post-44928696300370065862011-01-02T10:32:00.000-08:002011-01-02T10:46:34.042-08:00Homecake<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiDnMH5gVyLhOojY-mrUOe71jTp9eVMgpKmcvjtbFlCRapvxXs1dh9z2hUrwZM5HaOMgdA9xdUtYrvVRz9P5aAXjtvRSh4rL8iNbYzvwIRD5Sj5_q8bf3nfvpEdrxWVg8zx5fBtK-aej4c/s1600/P1080398.JPG"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiDnMH5gVyLhOojY-mrUOe71jTp9eVMgpKmcvjtbFlCRapvxXs1dh9z2hUrwZM5HaOMgdA9xdUtYrvVRz9P5aAXjtvRSh4rL8iNbYzvwIRD5Sj5_q8bf3nfvpEdrxWVg8zx5fBtK-aej4c/s320/P1080398.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5557659059456321058" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjFWI-YmvJ8DfVkDUSYESgh20ozvbiBpFVKedSI5log5CBKldaXyvuZtKkOGYK5XBaIPSLHuDhHyyrxDuAxRajZ0Mu4GWAbWFcIbYXDbZnWVkiBd4GqVePEPMUL3jjQ5aLIOXHW5ADbHJg/s1600/P1000113.JPG"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjFWI-YmvJ8DfVkDUSYESgh20ozvbiBpFVKedSI5log5CBKldaXyvuZtKkOGYK5XBaIPSLHuDhHyyrxDuAxRajZ0Mu4GWAbWFcIbYXDbZnWVkiBd4GqVePEPMUL3jjQ5aLIOXHW5ADbHJg/s320/P1000113.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5557659055419559426" /></a>This morning I woke up late. I mean late... I didn't want to get out of bed and greet this new year which will bring all of the chaos and creativity of the last year. I think about how exhausting it is and pull the covers over my head in my mind. The Holidays are such a whirlwind, Thanksgiving, Christmas, Liam's Birthday and New Year's Eve and Day- I mustered the courage, went downstairs, made my coffee and squeezed my Liam and he looked at me and asked "Mom Can we make a homecake?"<div> "A homecake? What's a homecake?" I asked. He said "You know Mom, a yummy cake with sprinkles and at home." He was referring to his birthday cake I made him last week. It wasn't fancy just a mix and some homemade frosting dyed blue with sprinkles all over it- But to him it was the best, the perfect cake. It was a lovely reminder that the simplest things we do make a difference. And we can face everything with love in our lives.

Their heady scent fills my little corner of the world- paint us before we perish. I've noticed how as the flower fades it's truest colors are revealed and the blooms arch and loop into the shape they seem to have been born to be- and I wonder if we are all like those blooms. if we get to our truth.Stephanie Brandenburghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10567731983156224521noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7979749978550622348.post-80772615978180906182010-08-17T20:16:00.001-07:002010-08-17T20:16:52.251-07:00this little light of mine...
