On another note, when I stopped by the Attic Window Quilt Shop today the Beginning Quilting Class was in session and having a little show-n-tell.  Joan McKay showed us this darling table topper that her sister made for her.  

Chris showed me this adorable Wool piece that Kathy B. made as a sample for the shop.  Chris said she is going to make it in cottons and may have a BOM of this pattern.

Vickie S. made the wonderful wall hanging for the shop.  It may be a little past Halloween but you can still get the pattern at the shop.  Chris thought it would be fun to put a Welcome banner over the Happy Halloween and use it all year long.  I can think of all kinds of sayings to put on that banner.  You could change it with the seasons.  Or you could say "Happy Sewing" and hang it in my sewing room.  (smile)
