Sneak Peek....


As many of you know... it take me a little while to get new fabrics up and running in the store - but our March order just walked in the door from Robert Kaufman and I wanted to share with you what's coming! If you are DESPERATE for some of the fabric in one of the photos, send me an email and I'll hook you up!

thursday ramblings...

Happy Thursday to you!

It was CRAZY here this week & especially today. I was working on a quilting project for someone, and I used some coffee filters to make the minky slide through the machine better (it works awesome by the way - use a SHORT stitch when you do!) I was doing loop de loops and ended up spending about 4 unplanned hours picking bits of coffee filter out from underneath my quilting stitches. f.y.i.

Ugh.

And because this project was due today at noon, I was tweezering away at the back of this quilt like a maniac. There was coffee filter fluff everywhere! Looked like a massacre had happened. Then I had to quickly make up the drapes for my friend's rental house that I have had all month to do, and only did it on the last day in the last hours before my evening meeting of Pathfinders. So naturally I was late, and then gave friend's hubby a hand hanging them in the room, which made me even more late.

Moral of the story? Plan better. Don't procrastinate so much.


Thinking about doing 2 classes over reading week, one Wednesday, one Sunday - I'm thinking placemats on one day and the layer cake quilt on the other??
