A peek at my week….

Hope yours was just as grand! I’m working on two new projects to start up this summer and a really really really cute owl block!

I’ll post the owl tomorrow!

Pretty Bird, Pretty Bird

So here’s a funny little fact – I’m terrified of birds. I’m not sure what i think they will do to me, but when i see one coming near i get sweating and feel like crying all at once. Just thinking about the big bird houses you walk through at zoos makes my stomach lurch.  The funny part is that i love looking at birds. I think they’re gorgeous.  I love them on fabric, on clothes, in pictures, i special ordered my computer to have birds on it and i even used to go to the annual bird watch with the Audubon society (we used binoculars, so we were never that close). So that’s why Les made these birds for me.

Along with the orange one at the top,  they make three little wall hangings for my hallway! She embroidered them on the new 830 but the designs can be used on other machines too. The coolest part is that the applique is built into the designs! The machine stops and tells you when to add the fabric, where to add it, and what size it should be! They’ll be hanging out in the classroom for a bit if you’d like to see them!

Cute, Cute, and more Cute!

And they’re pretty useful too!

First up are these coffee/tea cup/pincushions!

Next is this awesome tote bag! Not only does it coordinate with cups but it has pockets inside and closes with a magnetic snap!

I know we all could use a bit more organization, especially in our sewing areas and especially if its cute like these!

We’re busy in the back today working on a quilt we’re donating to CASA. Many of you made blocks for it at the last retreat, so ill be back soon with some pictures soon!  Come by and say Hi!

No Foolin’!

This was AMAZING! Our friend Kelly brought us 4 different cupcakes to try and wow were they yummy! The cake was good but the star was the icing. This picture doesn’t do it justice. It was at least 3 inches tall!This was the creamsicle and we also had a mellow cream, merry margarita, and midnight magic. They came from Gigi’s Cupcakes in Lexington. I definitely recommend everyone stop and try one next time they’re in Lexington!
