Hey,
Thank goodness it is Friday! We have been so busy at Quilter's Garden. If you come in you are liable to get caught up in the fabric frenzy also! We just got in a HUGE shipment of Shannon fabrics. They are luscious! Beth has made up some pillowcases that are soooooooooooooo soft. You will definitely have to make one for your little someone. Did I say it is sooooooooooooo soft? We also have some free patterns if you purchase the fabric. Don't you just love that?
We have also picked out some kits to make some projects from Edyta Sitar's book, "Hop To It." You all know me and know I am not a batik person. But, I have to say after seeing her projects, she has me looking at things a whole different way. I have the applique block in the first project all done and now just need to sew the quilt together. Has anyone found some extra hours yet? I need a few! - Beth has chosen her colors for the second project and now we just need to get them appliqued. I have to say that applique is my new favorite quilting thing to do. I just love my sewing machine as when I stop sewing, it lifts the presser foot just a little so I can maneuver the fabric without having to lift the presser foot manually. It is awesome and saves a lot of time!
Well, Sarah's shower is tomorrow and I need to finish the binding on her gift. This has sure been a fun journey. Aren't weddings fun?
Oh my, I just looked out the back door and the storm clouds are coming in. I'm saying a prayer that it will pass over and everyone will be safe!!!
TTFN,
Carol
