Today...

Today was a Monday! Things were good, however, you could tell it was Monday. But we did get some fabric...and that was a good thing on a Monday. We got 10 bolts of Hoffman batiks and a bolt of monkeys! (Is that anything like a barrel of monkeys - I guess not, but it's still a fun fabric.) I did manage to finish the Halloween Trick or Treat bag from a panel that Emily got started for me before the "dizzies" hit. And Diane was helping us put together the Benartex Family Tree panel - we're making the Fab-Etc family tree!! How fun...

Here's a picture from the next class we have scheduled - Amy Butler's "Birdie Sling". Velina's going to teach it and she's trying something new. She's offering two sessions. As many of you know, she's an expert at embellishing and embroidery. As you can see from the picture, she did some beautiful embellishing on this bag. So....she's offering a class just on "making" your fabric for the bag. Don't think you need to have a fancy embroidery machine to take the class - you can use the regular stitches on your machine, do some free motion quilting, add an applique, quilt a grid...it's wide open. Then a week later, she's offering the construction phase of the class. You can take one or both of the classes. Come and have some fun and learn a lot from an excellent teacher - you won't be sorry!

Okay, it's getting late and I am still sending out the Fab-Etc e-mail update. Good night all!
