Falling into Fall

Hello! We've blown through the summer, and here we are into Fall. Michelle has already had a few shows with thunderpeep, and last weekend was the big Pickled Herring premiere at the Etsy Made in Canada show here in Toronto.

The show was a huge success, with large crowds all day. Responses were very positive with the release of our embroidery kits, even if most of the show crowd was there to buy completed works, not do-it-yourself projects. I taught a workshop to a friendly crowd of folks who embroidered cards with floss. (some really great designs, that I wish I documented with pictures) and I also talked to a lot of our booth visitors who seemed to be eager to do some sewing. That being the case, I had to talk about the great classes taught at The Make Den. Of course I want everyone to get hooked on quilting, but I was realistic enough to talk about all of the other great sewing options there too.

Now we're through that show and we're preparing for the upcoming Creativ Festival which is at the end of October. We'll be making up some new quilting kits featuring Ferdinand and the Polar Nights creatures. Michelle has been busy at work getting designs up and ready on Spoonflower.

We will keep you posted with a few pics when I get the chance to get quilting.

Here's the booth from Saturday featuring patterns, dish towels and applique kits.

Thanks for reading, and come back soon,
