Not Going to Prom...


Or at least that's kind of how it feels. For the first time in 7 years I will not be exhibiting at Surtex. This is the big yearly show for illustrators/ designers. I have to say I'll miss not being there. This was a conscious decision on my part. I've been focusing on the Jill McDonald Baby brand. We're working hard to expand the JM product offerings to playette (clothing), bath & juvenile bedding. On another front I'm hard at work on my own line of wall art. So realizing you can't do everything. (but sigh... wouldn't that be GREAT!) I've had to pick & choose were I want to focus my energy. If your a company that follows my blog & miss seeing my art at Surtex this year. Send me an e-mail & I'll see what I can do. I have lots of fun prints still available. Guess I won't be prom queen this year. (I never was but a girl can dream, right?)

Hi Jill...I was just wondering - any plans to bring your Babies 'R' Us ranges to branches in the UK at all? Would love to see it over here! :)

Hi Pocket Full of Patterns,
Blogger had a melt down & we lost your comment:(
I wanted to answer your question about the JM crib bedding expanding to the UK. I know we'll be in Canada soon. I'm not sure about the UK- but gosh that would be wonderful! Once I know a solid answer I'll be back. Thanks for your interest!

Thanks for the reply - that's great; good luck with it all and I'll keep everything crossed for you that the UK is a possibility - would be great to see it! :)
