Fun Flamingos

Sorry I haven't posted in a while...still recovering from the "Stroll" I guess. We've had a fun week here at Fab-Etc. Folks coming in to see our Garden Stroll quilt. Workshops are just about full for "Flower Fun" next week.

I'm looking forward to our Tri-County Quilt Merchants Assoc. post-event meeting next Monday in Stanwood. Everybody is supposed to be bringing their quilts, plus I get to see the new home of Cotton Pickins. Heard it was wonderful! Can't wait to see the other quilts - I've only seen them in pictures. And, since I am closer to Kenmore than usual, and my daughter is off from school this week, I might just have to go and visit while Harriet and Linda hold down the fort! If any of you have something you'd like to say about the event, please either drop off one of the surveys at your local shop, or shoot me a quick e-mail and I'll pass it on.

Okay, we got new fabric this week! Some fun novelty prints, including this great flamingo one that I pictured here. (You can see it better if you "click" on the picture!) You just have to come in and see it in person - the guy on the choper with the wing tattoo is great! And the little drinks with umbrellas on the pink are great. We are thinking apron, don't you think so too?

Of course, one of the most important things to some of us around here is that the 12 bolts of the new Kansas Troubles line "Garden Inspiration" arrived today! We got some Jelly Rolls as well as some "Layer Cakes", which are 10" (I think) squares of each one in the line. I left them in the box until Tracey could get there and unwrap and fondle each one as she put them in their home! (She and I both LOVE Kansas Troubles!)

So, that's about it from here - laundry going, maybe a quick project to play with while I am doing the laundry, bed and then it's Saturday at Fab-Etc! Velina is teaching the Professional Tote class tomorrow. It's always a fun class!

Have a GREAT weekend!
