We each started at 8:00 a.m. with a class -- Diane went to a panel discussion on ideas for bringing fashion into the shop, Jan went to a piecing technique demonstration, and Martha went to a make and take session on beading on fabric. All were worthwhile! Then it was on to the vendors for the day, where we REALLY came to appreciate those who put down cork flooring over the cement.
What were the highlights . . . hard to sort out, but here are few things we loved.
 |
| One of the quilt entries from the Operation Homefront project. Each of a number of quilt designers created an original design . . . the patterns will be available this summer/fall, with a portion of the proceeds going to Operation Homefront to help returning soldiers. So, we could use the patterns to make quilts for our local Quilts of Valor project. |
 |
| This is one of the quilts in the special exhibition . . . the quilting is absolutely AMAZING!!! |
 |
| Cling-Onz have some new styles . . . isn't this a cute display, a flower garden of Cling-Onz. |
 |
| The pictures do not do justice to these new macchiato batiks we just ordered -- they are actually navy, mocha and a beautiful golden tan, yummy enough to eat (how could they not be with a name like macchiato)! We got a set of six so they are going to be perfect for one of the 6 fat quarter bag patterns. |
 |
| Just a couple of the mini hangings from the new Art to Heart book . . . we imagine Debby will be working on samples for the shop before long! |

| Blessings of Winter Block of the Month. We've ordered the fabrics; they are scheduled to be ready to ship in August. It is so very cute, we can't wait! |
