Back to Norway...Trondheim

Yes, I am Still Here!

I am not off buying fabric in Paris:

Or eating their never ending supply of heavenly cakes:

Or even snapping photos of lovers walking Parisien streets:

No, I am still here in my lovely little studio busily putting the finishing touches to all the 'Butterfly Garden' patterns (and Teacher's Notes, and Shop Guides, and etc.!).

I'm sorry if you've missed me (or you have one of those unanswered emails) but when I get into the nitty gritty of the finishing touches of my patterns it is you that I am thinking of. I fuss and bother and rewrite and redraw all the time thinking of you opening the packet, the crisp pages full of words and drawings from me. It has to be just right.

So I am back to it for now, I hope you understand, I know you will be glad when that first pattern arrives...

Back soon,

Leanne Beasley xxx

P.S. There will be more photos to come of my brief stop over in Paris on the way home from Norway.

Your pictures from Paris are great, and that fabrics you picked up looks yummy (wonder what you'll do with them... *lol*). Hope you are enjoying finishing those patterns - as you know I love the Butterfly Garden! (and have made a little head start...). Even though I await the arrival of the patterns eagerly, don't stress with them - enjoy this last step of your creative process :o)

Heather

Hi,I love the photos of Paris. About that Butterfly quilt pattern - How can I get one? Glad you had such a lovely trip!

Paris looks divine! I see you also have the unique quilt shop "radar" which allows you to locate a quilt store anywhere remotely nearby! :P A very useful skill i must say.

I love looking at all your pictures. Places I will probably never get to. Can't wait for you pattern to come out.

Tina McIntosh

How amazing are your photos. You will treasure them and thankyou for sharing an amazing journey. (perhaps a new name for a quilt. Ha ha I am living in Canada for a few years with Hubby originaly from Tamworth and we have just had the first large snow fall for the season. How beautiful, snow for Christmas I hope. Tina

I have only three things to say: more, more more! The photos are great! And I hope to make the butterfly quilt so yes, get the pattern ready for us who are awaiting it! Hugs.

Corinna

Thanks for the pics of Paris - I would so love to go there one day.

How delightful to have a pic of yourself & the fabrics that will one day become a finished quilt/bag or whatever. One day you'll reflect with a friend & say (posh voice) "Oh yes, I bought that fabric during my trip in Paris back in 2007"

If you keep posting a few pics here & there, we'll all wait patiently & happily for you to finish your pattern writing.

Beth Dasecke

love the photos and cant wait for the new pattern
hugs Beth

Studio Christine

it's just nice to know that you are OK........

sharon

Even when you're busy designing patterns, or over in other countries, you are still inspiring to so many of us!! We LOVE to see what you are up to - and for those who are unlikely to go to such places, it is your sharing that makes us so appreciative of what's out there in the big wide world.

Lucy Locket-Pocket

Ooooh! Let us see a close up of those Parisien fabrics please Leanne! The cakes look great too! Lucy x

Annelies

I've been in Paris several times and it is a wonderful place to be.
