Bird Brain Designs

We are heading off to Southern California and the beach in Long Beach.  This is the second year of the west coast version of the Houston International Quilt Festival and should be even bigger and better than last year.  The convention center is right on the water and you can see the Queen Mary from the show.  Maybe you can treat yourselves and take a room on the famous ship now a unique hotel. Our booth is the first one as you come down the escalators .  Don't miss us in lucky booth number 1313-1317! We have another batch of vintage needlework treasures.  Maybe something will be perfect for you to take home to your own sewing studio and make your space unique and wonderful. Visit www.Quilts.com to see all the classes and events planned.

We are looking forward to having a great time at the Rocky Mountain Sew Festival in Denver July 9 - 11.....please come and visit if you live near by.  The show is always a success and we love seeing "old" friends and meeting all of you new friends.  Something NEW in the Bird Brain Booth.  Come and see all the vintage needlework treasures we have collected.  Maybe something will be perfect for you to take home to your own sewing studio!

Welcome to my FIRST blog.  I chat all day (just ask those who know me!) and write newsletters twice a week for www.BirdBrainDesigns.net but this is just different.  Today we, at the studio, are very busy getting ready to leave for 3 quilt shows and 3 classes in the next 4+ weeks.  The place is a disaster area of pattern parts, bolts of wool and muslin waiting to be cut and kit makings all in a tumble literally all over the place.  The needlework pooches, Mackenzie and Campbell are out of harm’s way cozy in their beds under the computer table.  Then know when to snuggle up and get out of the way!  Please check out our Show Schedule and see if we are coming near your home.  Tina and I would love to meet you!
