Acuquilt Winter Wonderland Concept

With Winter Wonderland coming out Dec 1st, it is the perfect time to come up with a beautiful winter quilt. This is an elegant collection that is full of quiet, delicate snowflakes perfect for the cold, wintry months. Cuddle up in a quilt with matching pillows or decorate the table with sophisticated table cloth, napkins and place mats. The wonderful thing about this collection is that its hues of blues and whites complement many home decor settings. Since time if of the essence, I thought I would create some digital quilt concepts with Acuquilt's Go Fabric Cutter using the Go! Double Wedding Ring pattern. I am hoping I will find this as a gift under the Christmas tree, hint...hint...

Thanksgiving Day Race 2012

Here it is—the logo for the 102nd Thanksgiving Day Race! I am proud to be a part of the Thanksgiving Day Race tradition which has been in Cincinnati, Ohio for 102 years. Since 1998, I have designed the T-shirts, banners, letterhead and ads. Annually, over 10,000 runners/walkers have participated. Here is a look at all the designs through the years.
