Luscious Batiks

Mmmm. . .we are having a great time using these batiks in our Orion Star Kits here at the Studio Store. Here's a photo of twelve of these wonderful fabrics.

More Red and Green -- Beets

Another study in red and green via the row of beets in the garden at Graywood Farm. Love the grassey green with the red violet stems and burgundy bulb. By the way, we usually plant the Detroit Dark Red variety of beets. We like them small, cooked in water, skins slipped, with a butter garlic sauce. We also like them full size in fall, cooked in water, skins slipped, with a butter garlic sauce.

Yes, we like beets. They have a wonderful earthy taste. We sprinkle big grains of sea salt on top, too, before we eat them. Mmmmm.

Stop By the Studio Store. . .

and you will get to see the fabulous samples from our new book. Don't miss seeing our newest designs up close and personal. When the book comes from the printer (probably last week of June or first week of July) the samples will be out of here. We will be sending them on to shops that have ordered the book. First display will be at Quilting Possibilities in Forked River, New Jersey.

Here are a few glimpses of displays in the store this week. Danielle Damen is our shop and photo stylist and she does a crackerjack job of creating displays that rock!

We are in the last weeks of fine tuning the book. Photographs will be dropped into pages this week and the proofreading crew will be busy. The book, "Tapestry of Texture," is a celebration of table runners and table covers with lots of fabric. Stop by and see these gems soon!
