Feathered Stars


I stopped in the store this afternoon and luckily I was there early enough to see some of the blocks from the feathered star class. Today was the last Friday class and the ladies have their blocks finished and are in the process of putting them together.
The center stars with their feather frames are gorgeous. Hard to choose whose you would like best but I know Michelle's would work in my house with no problem. Wilma is cracking away at her borders - taking an idea from one of those books you buy for one pattern - in this case the border. Don't you love it when you can finally use that book that has sat on a shelf for ages?
Claudia gave me my final paperwork, with instructions for when I actually start working on it again. My batiks are in a bin waiting for the mood to strike - if ever.
Beau, the shop's boxer mascot was in giving hugs and kisses. He is such a gentle pup. My guy at home wouldn't be able to support his back enough to put his paws on my shoulders and if by some chance he did, it would be like being swatted by a bear. Beau is just this light switch from lap to shoulder with no pressure or pain.

The Attic Window has some great new samples up. A floral sample is made from a Maple Island (BQ designer) pattern, Side Lines which is perfect for spring and summer. If you have made a BQ quilt, you know that they go together easily and this is the same technique. Strips sewn, subcut and put together to create a frame. If you need a quick gift this would be a great pattern to use. Come in and see our new samples.
