This was my very first time at Quilt Market and boy was it a whirlwind of a day. I had such a great time meeting lots of people. The market itself is big and full of inspiration. My favorite inspiration was all the beautiful quilts and projects which just made me want to REALLY learn how to sew.  There were so many great ones, here are just a few that I was able to snap shots of…

I also saw the most beautiful fabric including Poppy Patterns by Laura Gunn. I actually met her and she was so nice. I really can’t wait to get my hands on this fabric! So different from what I have on hand.

Speaking of meeting people……. drumroll please…. We met Heather Bailey and best of all Carina was brave enough to actually talk to her and bug her for a photo so that we actually have proof of this meeting. She was so sweet and kind and actually a little shy which only makes her more sweet and kind. It was pretty awesome. (that’s Carina Gardner and Deena Rutter on the other side of me)

We also met Lizzy House who designs some super adorable fabric and also wrote a great book on breaking into the quilting industry.

I feel silly because I forgot to actually take a picture of Riley Blake‘s  booth, which is the awesome manufacturer that I am designing some fabric for as well as work with through My Mind’s Eye on a lot of projects. But they are amazing and you should definitely check out all their great fabric. Well we’re exhausted here but had a great day at Market.

Ella Publishing and My Mind’s Eye are teaming up for some awesome blog eye-candy. You can check out each of their Blogs to see some awesome inspiration and a lot of cute layouts and projects using Quite Contrary like this one by Tami Morrison:

Valentine’s day is sneaking up! I have some projects in the works, but I’ve been getting ready for CHA so I haven’t had time to finish and share them. I did however release a digital line of valentine’s kits that are sooooo cute, so I wanted to share those with you. I also have 2 free valentine downloads, those will be at the bottom of the post, so keep reading!

The first thing I want to show you is an adorable “Ten reasons why I’m crazy about you” quick album that I designed. This is really awesome and I’m going to finish mine and print it out for Mr. Project for V-day this year. Basically it consists of  TEN 5″x7″ pages where you can quickly drop in photos and your text, or simply drop in your photos, print and then hand-write your text. I am super exited about this meaningful album.  It’s available in my shop at Design House Digital.

I also have a bunch of  Smitten papers, elements and heart sets in my shop. This mini kit is 30% off Thursday Jan 21 ONLY.

My Favorite one are these paisley stamps:

So now to the freebies! My friend and Design House Decorator Tiffany Bodily Made this adorable Photo valentine. The file is a PNG file (like my quick album), where you can drop your photo under the image layer and then print it out.

I made a cute printable valentine that doesn’t require any work or know-how:

Both valentine cards measure 3″wide by 4″ tall when printed. They are each set up on their own 8.5×11 sheet for easy printing. These cards are for PERSONAL use only and can only be downloaded from www.theprojectgirl.com. If you find these downloads available elsewhere, please contact me using the contact link on this site.  Happy Valentine’s day!

Here are a few beautiful layouts by the Design House Decorators showing off my Smitten digital products:
