Modern June Studio: Fabric Storage

After 7 years of business I finally have proper storage for all of our laminated cottons, chalk cloth and oilcloth!! I am just a happy as I can be. The other day I went in to the studio early and was overwhelmed by the days tasks. Then I turned my head and saw my pretty new wall of fabric and I actually waved at it, like a teenage girl flirting with a boy across the lunchroom. Hhheeeey! Yikes, I hope I didn't blush! 

Nicole loves it!

Geneva and Kathie love it!

Just a few to choose from!

Uppercase Magazine and Oilcloth!!

Several months ago I was contacted by journalist Linzee Kull McCray that was excited about oilcloth. She was so excited about it that she wrote a really lovely article for Uppercase Magazine and I am honored to share it with you all!! 

Pretty pretty oilcloth!!

Sewing with Oilcloth garden apron pattern!

What a bright and pretty layout!

 

What's the difference? They published my laminate cotton, oilcloth and chalk cloth comparison. 

I'm so excited that our Modern June party banners made the magazine as well.

If your creative and curious then this is your magazine!! 

Back issues and subscriptions are available in the U shop.

Happy Spring!!!

Watch for us on HGTV!

Tonight's the night! "15 Fresh Handmade Gift Ideas", a one-hour special for HGTV that will air initially at 7pm Eastern tonight and then again on December 3rd at 2pm. The show will feature cool gifts from Etsy.com offered up by hosts Taniya Nayak and Michele Beschen (totally cool), it's a fast-paced look at fresh, handmade gift ideas from around the world.

How did this happen? About 8 weeks ago Modern June was one of the 100 Etsy Shops contacted and asked to submit their wares for consideration. I was asked to send in our Oilcloth Cat Mats!!! But here's the catch, none of know if we made the show or not, so tune in and check it out. If you see an oilcloth pet mat rest assured I'll be screaming for joy! For now check out all of the fantastic pet items that also made the great gift list at the HGTV's Handmade Holiday page.

THE BIG NEWS

I have been keeping a big secret, actually I have been keeping THREE big secrets.

I'll give up the biggest news first. After months of dropping tempting and taunting tidbits I can finally spill the beans... I have a book deal! Modern June and Oilcloth Addict have been given the opportunity to write a book on sewing with Oilcloth. Together with my excellent publisher, Wiley, we will create a book filled with loads of fresh projects using Oilcloth, Chalk Cloth and laminated cotton. I can't tell you how excited I am to fulfill this dream project.

In conjunction with my book, I get to attend the International Quilt Market--after all, a girls gotta do her research! I'll be on the look out for new laminated cottons to use in the book and for the shops. But, that's only half the fun. I also get to meet my publishers for lunch and attend a book release party for three new books that Wiley has released this month. I hope to walk away with a signed copy of Sandi Hendersons new book, Sewing Bits and Pieces: 35 Projects using Fabric Scraps; Anna Marie Horner's latest book, Handmade Beginning: 25 Sewing Projects to Welcome Baby; and Melissa Averino's upcoming book Small Stash Sewing: 24 Projects Using Designer Fat Quarters. I can't believe my good fortune!

But wait, there's more!!! I recently found out that I will be participating in the Country Living Fair in Columbus Ohio, September 24-26, 2010. How cool is that? I will have my first opportunity to combine my two shops under one 10x10 tent where I will sell Modern June goodies and pre-cut oilcloth yardage.

This is all so amazing--2010 is turning out to be a banner year.

Last minute gift ideas for Mom!

This is the "What? You forgot Mother's Day? Really??" face. I know I don't want to see this face. Mother's Day is the weekend and Momma expects something fabulous and we've got ya covered!  Order any of our ready to ship products by Wednesday and we will happily wrap it up pretty and send it right to her via Priority Mail.

We have a lot of totes, aprons and pillows ready to roll!

Does Mom, want to pick out a something custom made, like a one of a kind oilcloth tablecloth from Modern June?  We've got just the thing... our new gift certificate's will do the trick! 

Orange Mums of love!

This is a snap shot of the very first thing we have made with the new orange mum oilcloth and I for one and in love with it.  For this Modern June oilcloth tablecloth we combined the orange mum with a thin yellow bias and its just delightful.  I may have to have this combo on my table soon! Very soon indeed!

Tea Party Sneak Peek!

Yesterday I had the pleasure of helping my friends Mark and Tony, owners of Feathernester, set up their booth at the 34th Annual Richmond Spring Home and Garden Show. This is just a teaser, the booth wasn't even filled up when I left! I will be sure to get more (and better) photos this weekend!  If you have the time stop by and enjoy the Tea Party!
