Coming very soon, will be the first in a series of designs for the popular American Girl Dolls. The first themed collection will be Fairy Princess. It will be ePatterns and embroidery designs that are fun and easy. You will be able to make tutus, tops, hair accessories, wands, crowns, and more! Please check back often for the debut of these original designs!

Simple Quilts & Sewing also features another one of my fun project ideas for a special baby toy. The magazine/book is available now! You can find my instructions and pattern for my Baby Ball (Rollin' Along) on pages 58-59. You can make this project pretty quickly using just six scraps of fabric from your stash. Personalize the ball for a special gift! Check it out at www.tazetta.com.

One of my favorite projects is featured in Simple Quilts & Sewing. This great magazine (book) is from the editors of QUILT and it is on news stands now. Be sure to get your 2011 copy before they are all gone. The magazine has a lot of great project ideas, complete with photos and instructions. My Travel Chalk Board design (The Write Stuff) is shown on pages 52-53. This is a great project to whip up in about 15 minutes, that will provide hours and hours of fun for kids. Especially great for kids on the go (think summer road trips, vacations, travel)!
