THE DVD IS READY

At last we've finished the DVD, Soft Scrap® Basics, "Too Much Chocolate Too Little Time. We're really pleased with the way it came out.

Vicki and I worked on the script for what seemed months then the actual shoot took three and a half very full days. In fact we shot two days for about 11 hours each day and the third was almost a 16 hour day. BUT it was worth it. On the web site you can preview the finished product and it can be ordered from the Product Tab.

I was very pleased with the quality of the finished product. The internet version is acceptable but the DVD version knocks your eyes out. Also we got some really cool close-ups of the process.

The finished version is well over an hour long but it's broked down into chapters. Each chapter covers an aspect of the Soft Scrap® process.

We're looking for your comments.

We Did It

We'll were a little late by YOU DID IT is done and should be available on the web in a couple of days. We now in the process of packing for Manchester NH for the New England quilt show August 16 - 19. Look for us there.

On the DVD front everything is going well. It is editing right now and what we've seen so far looks REALLY good. The team we put together for this project was made up of all pros and the end results show it.

The DVD should be released mid September depending on the duplication house, we might have a preview in Manchester.

It's late so I'll continue this later.

You Did It!

The goal this week end is to finish the "You Did It" Design Booklet. This Design Booklet answers that eternal questions .... what do I do with the tassel after graduation day? "You Did It" has three layouts including a pillow and includes a neat trick for making your own fabric.

If we were good marketeers we would have had this out in May for Graduation days, but we didn't. In stead we've spend the last couple of months working on the DVD. Check the web site www.softscrap.com for details on You Did It.

We're also getting ready to go to the New England Quilt festival in New Hampshire in August. This will debut our new booth design which is twice the size that we've had before. In addition we're taking this opportunity to visit our oldest daughter and grandchildren in New Hampshire. Anyone who has visited our web site has seen our grandchildren, they're featured in many Design Booklets. On the way back we're going to visit our middle daughter who is expecting her first in September.

New Design Booklets, New DVDs, and A NEW GRANDCHILD -- this is going to be a busy fall.

Hopefully by this week end I'll add information on our show schedule, the new pattern "You Did It" and above all a progress report on our upcoming DVD. We're really excited about the DVD project. It's taken a lot of time but the early results make the effort worth while. Check back for some "making of" pictures and more information on the DVD.
