"Loose Change"...

No, I'm not asking for any loose change you might have on hand! This is a picture of a Christmas runner Team Fab-Etc has almost finished. It's from the book "Loose Change" which uses mostly "nickels" (5" squares) and "dimes" (10" squares). Now, before you run into the shop for the book, Jan and Harriet must have been raving about it while I was away Tuesday, because I can't find any and assume they sold all of them! But not to fear, we have more speeding our way from Martingale. There are quite a few other projects in the book that I think you might like. Anyway, today I got the borders on and now I am hoping to layer it up and quilt it!

So, you say, Carol was away on Tuesday? Yup, Grandpa John and Grandma Carol went to Kenmore to pick up our grandson, Benson from kindergarten and spend the night with him while his mom (our daughter) and brother, Lukas were having a test done overnight. We had a lot of fun with 5 1/2 year old Mr. B!

Our Gift Boutique has gone really well. It's going to be up for a few more days...need to take it down for our first Wednesday of the month Tea Party. You should come - it's lots of fun. Anyway, we may leave a few things out after that, but not set up quite in the same way.

This week, we got some new 30's prints, a few more batiks (we overfloweth again!), armed forces fabric, and some "fill in" stuff! We're getting ready to help you with those last minute things and will be putting out some of our usual "Fabric-Etc Quick and Easy Gift Ideas"!

Hope your Thanksgiving was good....ours was, but I ate too much and stayed in the kitchen too long. So Christmas will be simpler with more family time! Okay, off to layer and quilt, plus laundry, of course...have a wonderful Sunday!
