They like us in Omaha

Wanted to send out a quick thank you to the City Weekly Website of Omaha, Nebraska. They did a little feature about easy accessory shopping for the Holidays,earlier this month and included us.

As they so kindly pointed out, you don't have to live in Omaha to enjoy your bags. Customizing a one of a kind M Avery Designs creation can be done entirely online and then you'll have your bag in 2-3 weeks!

Thanks again!

Found my book in Austin Tx!

I have been spending my holiday time in Austin Texas this year and for fun wanted to check out if the local Borders Book Store was carrying my book...

Hooray, we found the book! And just cause I was so excited to have found it, we took a little photo for posterity!


I then, of course, put it in a much more visible location on the shelves!

Megan was a Guest on Martha Stewart Sirius Radio Show


On November 21st, Megan Avery was lucky enough to be a guest on the "Morning Living" Martha Stewart Radio Show on Sirius Satellite Radio.

It was pretty cool, since Megan is just a little smitten with Martha. She didn't get to talk directly to her, but just being in the "Martha" presence was quite an experience.

If you missed the interview live, you can listen to it here.

Make your Own bags - Absolutely no SEWING required!

Just saw this awesome project on the Martha Stewart show.

The publisher of my upcoming book"Bag Bazaar" is Potter Craft, which is a division of Random House. Apparently they also published the book of the author that is being featured on this episode of the Martha Stewart Show. Her book is called book author of another great book

Simply Sublime Bags: 30 No-Sew, Low-Sew Projects

and you can check out the video on the Martha Stewart website.

I am quite impressed at the durability of the bags, considering they have not used a sewing machine at all to create it! All they are using is fabric (with this cool vinyl like covering, which I had never seen before! ) staples, and duct tape! I might have to use some of these techniques in a workshop at the studio some time in the near future!
