On the 8th Day of Christmas.....

8th day of our Fabric-Etc's 12 Days of Christmas Quick and Easy Gift Ideas! As you know, I took the day off on Monday, leaving the store in the capable hands of Harriet and Linda. They always like to have a "To Do" list, so I accommodated them. One of the things on the list was to make some new toweling samples....look what they came up with in just an afternoon! These are our 8th day gift ideas for you. They added one of our great coffee prints to the border of some Huck toweling and threw in some ric rac for good measure. Then they simply cut off a section of our pre-printed toweling from Moda and hemmed it. And the last one, they added a coordinating fabric strip to another pre-printed towel. Be sure to take a look when you come by....all of the fabrics used here are still available as of today, plus we have other toweling, as well!

What else is going on around Fab-Etc? Well, Emily finished her last final at WCC today...boy, was she happy! And she said she'd been reading the blog, and couldn't wait to see all the new stuff we had at the shop. She was a huge help straightening fabric today and packaging new pillowcase kits. Harriet had fun yesterday cutting new ones for you! Then, we got the class area ready for 4-H and played with a new pattern from the new American Jane book - it has chickens, and is a new way for us to use black and whites - yippee!

Tomorrow, Harriet and I will work on another Quick and Easy, and be ready to help all of you with your fabric needs. I'll be trying to find the top of my desk and go through the mountain of stuff that needs to be filed! The next week or so sounds like it will be a good time to turn up the heat and hunker down with some good sewing projects....brrrrrr. Have a great Friday night all!!
