Today I come clean. Some of you who heard me speak at the LA Modern Quilt Guild last year may know the truth, but you may not have believed it. (My youngest son stood outside of Sew Modern and tried his best to tell you. He told me most of you didn't believe him.)
I've kept the secret....our secret. It's shocking.
Today everyone will know.
The mind, the hands, the genius behind Tallgrass Prairie Studio is my 21 year old son, Jonathan. He designs, sews and creates the quilts and I take the credit.
He's a creative savant...sketching, designing and creating. He can design, piece and quilt a quilt in a day. He's amazing. He sews so fast I could barely get a picture of him. He's a cross between Denyse Schmidt, Christian Siriano and Craig Ferguson all rolled into one quilty guy package.

holy crap. that was a GOOD ONE! I was like, "no way! she's like milli vanilli! and all those lipsynch-ers!" hehe Oh you got me. SHEESH!
You had me going there for a minute!
excellent fooling!
Only half an hour ago I was thinking that I must remember it's April Fools Day! Did I remember? NOPE!!
Great prank, you had me going for a few seconds :)
Ha...yes good one. When I got to the photo I did think 'that sitting angle doesn't look so comfortable'but still didnt guess!
Thanks for a great laugh! I was thinking no way, is this true??
You drew me right in....!!!
Ya got me on dat one!! Sheesh! I pulled a trick on my daughter - she was the first to enter my April Fools trap... covered the utensils in the drawer with clear wrap!! hehehehe
We're going to call our parents and they'll them we're expecting. Due date: 10-11-12. Except it won't be a joke. It'll be baby #3. :)
That is a good one :)
Good one!!!!
That was pretty funny!
You got me. I love that your son has a sense of humor. It will be a blessing when life gets rough.
Bahahah. Cute. I love April Fools day!
Nice try, J. But you gotta get up pretty early in the morning to fool us. The smiling cheeks give it all away....
Nope, didn't fool me either. His sewing position and the part about doing it all in one day...too overboard to be believeable. Back to the Fool's drawing board for you! LOL Better luck next year.
teehee ~ tho it could be believable! there are people who do whole quilts in one day (I know a few).
Thanks for the giggle!
Well done!
Too funny! I WAS surprised at the start... You inspired me to pull one myself on my own blog. Have a great day!
Really funny. Not believable, but funny.
First time to visit your blog. Not even sure how I ended up here but coming back for sure. Really creative and funny. Love it.
By 0620 this was my second April Fools prank of the day. Didn't fool me... but! I think he may have a few more stitches in his future!
I sure wish I could find someone to do all my work and take the credit! How cool would that be, really???
Happy April Fools Day!
hahahah good one! i was totally fooled! if only we all had a little quilty elf in the background to piece a whole thing in one day...your son is a good sport :o)
You almost had me until you mentioned Craig Ferguson! Then I KNEW what kind of humor you lean towards. I love it!
You had me going for a minute....until the speed sewing part.
You are TOO much! What a handsome son you have there, and what a good sport. Fun!
Good one!!!!!!!
Ha ha, that was a good one.
Now tell him he really needs to make a quilt!
Awesome! You really got me, girl! But you gave me mt morning dose of laughter! You sure have a great son!
OMG, that was a good one. I tried to pull one on my 18 yr old but couldn't stop laughing. Yours was great.
Hysterical! you can tell he was laughing! What a great sport!
that's a good one. For a moment I was surprised that you had held that secret so long! LOL
You got me! Very funny indeed!
Hilarious! Get have me fooled but definitely made me laugh. :-)
