Showin' my art
March 10, 2008 in Jo-Ann Fabric and Craft Stores
I was just back in Ohio to present to the JoAnn’s Marketing and Merchant teams some of my collections for next Spring and Summer. It’s quite a preparation! We do a DVD movie that shows the art and product ideas with enhancing and appropriate music. We also create Presentation Boards and mock up some product samples. Amidst a recent snow storm and very chilly temperatures, I presented to an attentive audience at JoAnn’s headquarters. 
I talked about each theme, color story and why the collections are trend appropriate. This is always stepping out of the box for me. Artists as a lot tend to be “behind the scenes” kind of people. I guess I’m kind of a mix of both – comfortable being tucked away in my art studio and capable of being gregarious on other occasions. I wish I could show you the art and tell you more about the ideas – but I would be “off’d” by the Fabric Mafia if I did.
Anyway, phew……glad it’s done.

Hello Debbie!!! Sorry, but my english is very bad...
Hola Debbie, la verdad que no se como expresar lo que siento cada vez que veo tus dibujos, me parecen tan cercanos y tienros, como que son un balsamo que dan alegria a los ojos!!!! Me fascinan tus telas, tus diseños, todo lo que realizas!!!! Soy Argentina y actualmente vivo en España, y como me encuentro muy sola empece a realizar patchwork que me entretiene bastante.
Gracias por esos diseños tan pero tan hermosos!!!

Debbie,
It always intrigues me to read what is going on with you. I'm one of those artist that stay cloistered up in the studio. I admire you...and your work, of course.
