Before there was a title, a layout, or even a manuscript, there was just a collection of handmade dolls, vintage quilts, and my dream to bring them to life.
I'm excited to share the story behind Love You to Pieces: A Gift of Friendship in my latest blog post. It's a behind-the-scenes look at how my work with Indygo Junction and Vintage Notions helped shape the book, the moment the idea sparked, and how the dolls and quilts in my collection began “speaking to each other” through color, memory, and meaning. If you've ever found comfort in a handmade gift, joy in a flea market find, or connection through fabric and thread—I think you'll love this story and the future posts I am planning for the next few months about Love You To Pieces. So stay tuned and thanks again for reading my newsletter! |

I'm especially honored that a vintage star from my personal collection is featured in this book! Made from authentic feedsacks, this star inspired my Fabriflair® line and is a beautiful example of how vintage textiles can be reimagined into something modern and meaningful.
Feedsacks was published by Janine Vangool, the brilliant mind behind UPPERCASE—a quarterly magazine for the creative and curious, inspired by craft, design, typography, and illustration. I've admired Janine's work for years and have had the joy of working with her on several occasions. It was such a delight to see this project come together with her thoughtful vision, and Linzee's storytelling makes it even more special.
