Flower Power!

Well....I still don't have all of my Fab-Etc blocks done for the Tri-County event, A Garden Stroll. But I am getting closer, as you can see from the picture. Since we are using four of our blocks in the Fab-Etc quilt, that meant I had to make 16 parts (four/block), plus the middles. I have all of the 16 parts done, except that I goofed up on the middle part. So, I need to take 16 seams apart a little bit and put my folded yellow triangles in and then make the four blocks and do some curved back piecing. Then, I will have them done!!

The quilt is coming together pretty well, thanks to the best staff in the world! We've been collaborating and starting over and redoing lots, but it's going to be a fun quilt. Hope you'll like looking at it, as well as the other twelve that are being made throughout the three counties. I've had a chance to try some things that take me out of my comfort zone, so that is a good thing!

On the fabric front, some new batiks came in the other day, and I'm not sure if I mentioned before that we got some wonderful seersuckers. And, we've been switching some of the fabrics around again - Tracey loves that! She only works a few days a month, so she figures just about the time she knows where things are, it must be time to move them again! Except, this time, all of us are a bit confused after the big rearrange.

I've also had visits from a few of my reps and have ordered some great new fabrics - including some organic cottons from Michael Miller. I know I get requests from time to time for those. Plus, I am going to a trade show in Seattle this Friday to see lots more fabrics and great stuff! I'll try and report back this weekend. And, since my daughter and two grandsons live in the area, I'll get to see them - hooray! Plus, my youngest son and his wife might also be around - even better!

We've also scheduled a few more classes into April - take a look at the Classes section on the website http://www.fabric-etc.com/

Okay....I didn't bring home the Fab-Etc blocks, but I did bring parts to others, so I best get a bit done this evening. Thanks for tuning in to my ramblings!
