Curbing eBay Prices …

Thursday, June 19th, 2008

First, an important administrative note: I am having difficulty accessing some of my email. Current incoming email is unaffected, but email more than about three days old is not accessible to me at the moment due to a program crash. I hope to have the problem remedied very soon because I rely on my email for so many things, including a lot having to do with INN. If you have sent me email recently but not received a response, I suggest resending your email, as it is probably in the inaccessible folders. Please accept my apologies, and I will do my best to respond to you as soon as possible. Thank you for your patience and understanding. And now, back to your regularly scheduled news posting!

The Goode Huswife’s Book of Designs Vol. 1 has been published and includes these ten favorite Goode Huswife designs: 1798 Quaker, Nine Patch, The Birth Sampler, Ellen Birdseye, A Primitive Bird, Mattie Graves Quilt, With My Needle, Elizabeth Easton, Live Simply, and June Morning.

The cost is $79 (or $7.90 per design, which is extremely reasonable), and it may be ordered directly from The Goode Huswife if your local shop isn’t carrying it.

Fans and collectors of The Goode Huswife designs should note the title of the book. The fact that it is Volume 1 implies there will be further books containing more out of print and hard to find Goode Huswife designs published in the future … So consider skipping those high-priced eBay auctions and saving your pennies for later, when the profits can go directly to the designer, too! :)

S.O.S.

Have you downloaded the freebies (graciously provided by Amy Bruecken Designs, Blue Ribbon Designs, Imaginating, Kustom Krafts, and Rosewood Manor) available in Hoffman Distributing’s Summer Online Showcase?

Don’t forget to explore the rest of what the S.O.S. has to offer, either … I easily spent several very enjoyable hours just looking through everything under the New Designs category while updating my wish list.

At the top of that list is one of Needlemania’s newest, titled Bandacious:

It’s “band-a-licious”!

And I’m so happy for Marc Davis’ (the designer behind Needlemania) success. Just a few short years ago, he was “hiding” his incredible design talent while winning ribbons at Woodlawn — but look at him now! :D

Columbus Market

You’ve likely read descriptions from your favorite shops of what they found at the Columbus market … But have you actually SEEN any of those new releases yet? :D

When you’re done drooling, come back and let me know which designs were your favorites!
