MAKING BLOCKS GALORE!

I had hoped to go to the Embroidery Class at the Attic Window Quilt Shop today, but I'm waiting for the cable guy to arrive.  You know how that goes.  So while waiting, I've been making some blocks and getting ready to go to a Snap Bag class at the Shop tomorrow. Are you participating in Pat Sloan's Out Of This World BOM?  Above is block number three that I made today.
Actually we are to make four of these blocks, so I've been busy.
Above are two of block 3 along with blocks 1 and 2.  I'm eager to see how this quilt goes together.  
I also made block 5 from the book Garden Sampler BOM.  I love all these flower blocks.  Hope you are enjoying your quilting this week!

YOU TOO CAN LEARN EMBROIDERY

The Beginning Embroidery group met at the Attic Window Quilt Shop last week.  Marilyn (standing on right) is the teacher.  Wait until you see what she can do.  But first let me show you something.
 This is a beginning embroidery class.  The students are asked to bring a quilt sandwich. much like a crazy quilt block. This is what they learn and practice on.
This is another piece of practice sandwich.  I just love all these beautiful stitches.
And look what you can do once you get proficient at embroidery.  This is a pillow teacher Marilyn made.
 This is a closeup of one of the beautiful flowers that Marilyn made.
 And this is another.
And this is another.  I'm so impressed by what Marilyn does that I hope to take her beginning class.  Of course, I know I won't be able to make this in her class, but if I don't start with a beginning class I'll never be able to make it.  If you are interested, call the shop and register.  The class meets on Wednesdays at the shop.

ATTENTION: Monday hours have changed.  The Attic Window Quilt Shop is open from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. on Monday during the months of February, March, and April.  Tuesday through Saturday hours have not changed and will remain the same as usual.

NEW AT THE ATTIC WINDOW QUILT SHOP

This stunning work by Kathy B. caught my eye when at the Attic Window Quilt Shop yesterday.  It is all wool.  Not only do the flowers look real, but that mason jar vase it awesome.  Take a look when you go into the shop.  You'll love this!
 This new line of fabric caught my eye too.  These are Folio Basics by Color Principle from Henry Glass & Co.  
 Take a look at this fabric which is also in the line.  Too cute!
This is also new.  It is Bed of Roses by Laundry Basket from Andover Fabrics.  
This cute little Doggie Bag Coin Purse is also new at the shop.  It is a Cut Loose Press.
I couldn't resist and bought some fat quarters.
