Hello Everyone,
On Tuesday, I had a wonderful day! I met designer Jennifer Paganelli!! She is warm, kind, creative, and very talented. She invited myself and my friend Victoria to her home so that I could interview her for my podcast.
Here we are me, Jennifer, and Victoria. We had such and good time and her home was such a treasure trove of inspiration at every turn. What FUN!! So let's take a peek...
This wonderful bed is dressed with fabrics and pillows from her newest line of fabric Honey Child... you can find it in my shop!! But the neat thing is the headboard is dressed with her grandmother's yo-yo quilt! Just genius!
This pillow, in particular, I was just drooling over. PINK... I love it!
Talent and creativity just oozed out of every crack and crevice in her home. This lampshade was made by her and I love it too! Very romantic.
Here are some shelves filled with vintage wallpapers where she gets some of her inspiration for her fabric designs.
Shelves loaded with vintage clothing and linens where she also garners design inspiration.
In the podcast interview she spoke of making these Christmas ornaments as a child, by her Grandmother's side. She continues to recreate them in her adult life. Just beautiful bowls filled with these ornaments.
Look at these wonderful glittery, sparkly trees just sitting in her studio for all to see.
Trinkets, baubles, and lots of creative goodness!
Beautiful clothing made from her various fabric lines hung every where.
Not only was Jennifer open and kind to us, but she was also giving. She gifted both Victoria and I original JP Tunics! You can see Victoria all dressed up in her by clicking here.
So, now you just have to listen to the podcast. It is a treat!!
You will also hear a wee bit from Victoria too! You can find the podcast in the iTunes store by searching for Jackie's Quilting Chronicles. Remember they are FREE. If you choose to listen directly from your computer you can click here and listen in or listen directly from iTunes as well.
You also should take a moment to go over to her website, by clicking here. She has an active blog and flickr site you can link to from there. Also, you will see her new book, Girls World. If you do stop by, tell her that Jackie said hello!
Now, if you are still with me, would you like to win some of her wonderful Honey Child Fabric???
You have the chance to WIN these 6 fat quarters by just leaving a comment on this blog post before Midnight April 21, 2011. That's it!!
But if you can't wait for some of this fabric, you can find it in my shop by clicking here.
Also, don't forget to enter this giveaway too, just click here.
One last thing that I did before I left...
My sweet tooth got the better of me and I stopped at Crumbs Bake Shop for some yummy cupcakes for the family! They disappeared real quickly.
Hope you enjoyed meeting Jennifer! I know I did! Thank you Jennifer for a wonderful day!
***The giveaway is now closed. Thank you to all who entered. Check back for the winner!***
Until Next Time...

Beautiful fabrics, love the bright colours! Must have been an exciting day for you:o)
What beautiful fabric! The thing i love most though is that a lot of her inspiration comes from memories of her grandmother. For me the love and passion of quilting has been passed down through the generations too, so i see something special in it.
