Freedom is an amazing thing, you take it for granted until it is taken away from you and then you see it's true power. As of midnight tonight, I am a free woman. I have been waiting out a contract that restricted my creative life for the last three years and it is over... wow. I don't want to get into the specifics but am glad this chapter of my life has passed and I can release the negative energy that has been within me and focus on some amazing opportunities that are coming towards me. I can't wait to follow my dreams that have been on hold for so long. I have big plans for this coming year that I can't wait to share with you. But, for now, I have a lot of work to do! Number one on my list is to send out my pattern designs to some fabric companies and see if I can make a huge dream of mine come true. Fabric!!! oh how badly I want my designs on fabric. At midnight tonight, I will be doing the happy dance just like Snoopy.
"Passages" available on my Etsy shop.
Wonderful news Stephanie, and I'm sure your gorgeous patterns will appear on a fabric collection soon!

Congratulations! I am working with a new fabric company on my new collection now. Let me know if you want an intro. You would be perfect for them.

Thanks Jackie, that would be great! I'll contact you when I'm ready. Will you be at Surtex this year? Hopefully, we can meet.

Hi Stephanie, I will be at Surtex but I wont have a booth this year because I have an agent now who has her own. I will definitely stop by to say hello.
