Our Needleturn Queen....

I love to call our Jan the "Needleturn Queen". And when you come in next time, just take a look at these snowmen - snowmen made from fabric and not that white stuff we had last month - which is the only kind we want to see! She has been working on this project for a while now, and gave me "custody" while she's in Hawaii. It's a Bunny Hill pattern and came out really cute made up in Kansas Troubles fabric. There are some great little intricacies built in to the design. I do feel much better now about the basket of what I thought looked like decapitated snowmen...but a customer set me straight that they were just a basket of snowballs! You'll have to take a look. We're almost out of patterns, but more are on order! Oh, and BTW, our Needleturn Queen is teaching her Beginning Needleturn class coming up in February, and since she won't be back from Hawaii until Monday, there will be no Applique Workshop this month.

We had just a great day today! Lots of "show and tell" or "bring and brag"! Barbara brought in this wonderful quilt she made for her husband. It was so cool the way she used prairie points in the border. Izzie and Emily got all of the BOM kits ready - more than a week ahead of schedule - hooray!! Diane came to "play" today and finished a batik top made from a new magazine we have. It came out really well! I got the binding sewn on a red/white Irish chain I've been working on. Harriet put a Valentine border with ric rac on some Huck toweling that came out fabulous!

Well, you guessed it...laundry is ready to go into dryer! More fun tomorrow with the Applique Society in the morning and some serious cleaning of the mess in the back room? Will try and get pictures of some of those new things we've been working on. Happy Friday night all!
