It’s Been a Great Week!

June 12, 2014 By Cathy Habermann Leave a Comment

I’ve got winners!

Thank you to everyone who responded to my At the Beach contest – may this summer find you at the beach – or at least at the place that makes you happy!

I had entries come in through email as well as the blog (blogger glitch…) so we put everyone’s name on a piece of paper.

I had my son scramble the entries & pick 5 names! (He’s used to being asked to perform the occasional odd task around the house…)

& the winners are

As soon as we connect, I will send you my latest release – At the Beach!

It’s been a awesome week for me as well.

Over 8 months ago, I was contacted by the editorial staff at Just Cross Stitch to set up an interview and design a piece for the August issue.

The issue is now available and man, is that cool! I had a great interview with Vickie Jennett (of Needlework Press) and designed the Black & White Garden Pinkeep. I have been so excited to share this piece with you.

Check out my photos – but wait – there’s more…I also have an ornament in the issue as part of the annual Ornament Preview section!

I shot a couple pics before I sent the model of to the editors. The message unfolds as you open up the pinkeep!

Congrats again to the winners.

Enjoy the stitch,

Cathy

    Congrats to the winners!

    I just got my electronic version of JCS yesterday. I think I'm going to do your pinkeep as my next small project as soon as I finish Petal Pincushion from the April issue.

I get asked a lot ‘what is your favorite design’.

No easy answer here. I love when a design comes together with a powerful message, one that I wrote, with meaning and a flow that picked up momentum the second I opened the window on my computer screen. 

The Smallest Seed, from the very beginning, has served as a philanthropy design. It hangs in my home as a daily reminder.

Such a fun weekend with my stitching peeps. I as Such a fun weekend with my stitching peeps. 

I asked my friends if they would be ‘student testers’ for a class that I am teaching next week @salemstitches - They were troopers and passed with flying colors. 

I hope you have a group of friends like this. So much laughter, amazing food (wore my stretchy pants), storytelling and enabling (we are staying at a quilt shop!)

I’ll let you in on a little secret. Not everyt I’ll let you in on a little secret. 

Not everything I had designed made it to Nashville Market…it happens. You know its’s gonna be really cool but it just needs a little more time.

Life is running at the speed of crazy right now, it’s OK to say, you just need to wait for the right time little one
