Flowers anyone?

I am a born and raised northwestern Washington girl, but gee it's been wet and "gray" lately, hasn't it? Thought you might like to take a look at some flowers to brighten up your day. Jan made this smaller hanging called "Flowers in My Cabin". It's very warm and inviting, isn't it? I know I like to walk over and look at it up on the wall once in a while, just to make me smile. And not one bit of gray either!

The design incorporates the log cabin block along with a great "canvas" for some applique. Even though Jan LOVES needleturn applique, this particular piece was done using a machine applique technique. She'd also like to make it again using some Spring-type prints. She'll be teaching a 3 part class for "Flowers in My Cabin" beginning Thursday, February 21st. There's still some room, so if you're interested, give us a call or stop in!

Another week at Fab-Etc draws to a close....we survived Fat Tuesday with only 2 boxes of leftovers. We all decided, more total boxes next year...not enough selection left for the afternoon people! Tomorrow the staff is meeting a couple of hours for a "sew day" to work on our Tri-County Quilt Shop Festival, "A Garden Stroll" blocks. Each shop makes a quilt using the other shops' "flower-themed" patterns. We hope the idea we have for ours will work out okay! Guess we'll know after tomorrow. We'll be updating you more on the event in the next few weeks.

Have a great Sunday....I get to sew - hooray!!
