Guess What's Coming?

Greetings from Tuscandelphia: Travel-Inspired Projects from Lizzie B Cre8ive

by Liz & Beth Hawkins

Greetings from TUCSADELPHIA! A place where inspiration flows freely and music floats on the breeze. The air is filled with the scent of freshly baked goodies and laughter rings throughout the land. That’s how Lizzie B sees it! In essence, Tucsadelphia IS wherever Liz and Beth ARE.

Let Lizzie B Cre8ive take you on a tour through some of their favorite places. "Greetings from TUCSADELPHIA" is a collection of some of Liz and Beth’s favorite travel-inspired projects. Like all quilters who travel, Liz and Beth collect FABRIC! They gather fabric from the places they visit and take those bits and weave them into a quilt; like Beth’s "Happy Hawaii" quilt. They make us smile and feel warm and fuzzy inside as memories of our travels flood back to us. Join them on a sun-drenched beach in "Happy Hawaii" or the bustling streets of "New York’s Got Soul". Stitch up the quick and "Easy-Breezy Backsack", then take a jaunt through Pennsylvania Amish country. Or pick your own favorite places for the "Wish You Were Here" quilt and adorn it with postcards and memories.

Don’t forget to bake some "Be Cre8ive Cookies" for your travels, and escape with the Lizzie B playlist. Whether you find time to stitch a little, "Kick Back and Relax" or do some "Peaceful Dreamin’" on your own travel pillow, remember that "All Roads Lead to Home". And when it comes to the Lizzie B Girls... all roads lead to Tucsadelphia! We hope you enjoy the journey. Dream big, go far, and always Be Cre8ive!

Oh, and if you're wondering where the heck Tucsadelphia is, it's the official city of Lizzie B Cre8ive! Beth lives in Tucson and Liz lives in Philadelphia, hence Tucsadelphia!
Softcover, 8 1/2 x 11 inches, 112 pages, full-color.

Helping ConKerr Cancer

Liz's son had an Eagle Scout project that is giving back to the community by collecting and making pillow cases for ConKerr Cancer. Trevor's goal was to get as many pillow cases as possible to donate to ConKerr Cancer by the end of January. Help for the completion of this project came from many different areas. Volunteers spent the day in King of Prussia sewing (and un-sewing), cutting, ironing and helping others. Fabric was donated by some great fabric companies and quilters from all over sent in pillow cases. It is amazing to feel the compasion of all these volunteers. Be sure to keep checking the Blog for more.

Keep up with the LIzzie B girls!
