Painting the town Red with Heavy Metal

Fabric of Vision on Main in Ashland, Oregon where my Heavy Metal series began!  Sandi Globus is the owner of this fine fabric store.  An eclectic mix of quilting fabrics, silk, wool, gauze, wool felt, bamboo felt, abundance of trims, zippers, patterns, clothing ideas, aprons, and eye candy.  Ashland is also home of the Oregon Shakespeare Festival and my family's vacation destination for the last seven years

Beautiful flowers sent by my good friend, Leslie Tucker Jenison sent to match my Heavy Metal series.  Look at the two magazines by the flowers!  How cool is that?

a close up of the table with all of my favorite heavy metal trims and my book!  I met two women from our B&B - Lynn and Susan who each bought my book, went back to the store to buy fabric to make something artsy!  It just doesn't get any better than that!
