So....

So...what have I been doing the last week or so? Obviously not blogging!! As I said in my last post, the next biggies would be the Tea Party and the 9" star block (complete with a sample and directions) for the Tri-County meeting last Monday. Mission accomplished, with some help from my friends - thanks, Jan and Tracey!

This is a picture of the other thing that took some of my time since I last posted. Last Sunday was a baby shower in Kenmore for my soon to be third grandson, Cody. We had played a bit with "All About Me" at Shop Hop and then I got to thinking that Dave and Nikki were doing the nursery in brown and blue and with a blue stopper instead of the green, this would be perfect! Of course, it always takes longer than you think it will, so I sewed the last of those little rectangles together and stay stitched the edge about 11:00 Saturday night! Just put the names on paper, 'cause Betsy's going to embroider them for me after Cody's arrival - Dave is our youngest son and this is their first child, so needless to say, they are pretty excited. Shower was nice and the bonus was that I got to see everybody in my family that day!!

The Tri-County meeting was good...star blocks look awesome and I have an idea that I am ruminating on. It looks like it will be another exciting event in March!

So, what's been happening at Fab-Etc with the Fabettes? We moved a lot of fabric around, just to make things interesting for all of us. I keep going to where it used to be to put stuff away. We're also getting ready for the Moonlight Quilt Show Friday and Saturday of next week - September 19th and 20th - hear there are over 350 quilts! Be sure to say hi and pick up a coupon good at the shop. New fabric....got a great tea pot and cup fabric in two colorways.

And we have a new Fabette - Izzie is one of the members of the 4-H group that meets here twice a month. She lives about 3 blocks from the shop and is going to come in a few times during the month and tidy fabric, roll fat quarters, fold newsletters, etc. She's amazing! She's a Sophomore in high school, taking AP classes (including a college level course); likes to sew and design; laughed at my stupid jokes; and impressed all of us by learning the "dreaded double drape" in one lesson!! (Ask me to explain "dreaded double drape" next time you're in -ok?)

Somehow, I managed to get a cold in the midst of everything (think it might have been a few late nights?) Think I'll go get my NyQuil pill and head for bed. I've kind of gotten hooked on the crossword puzzles in the Herald...have to make the subscription go further with some entertainment value!

Have a great Friday - sunshine!!
