EVER MAKE AN OOOOPS?

I hope everyone saw my post of yesterday where I had to tell you that I made an Ooops:
  The Charming Scrappy Day (lunch included) at theAttic Window Quilt Shop  will be held on Saturday, August 17th (not on the 10th as I previously posted).  Bring those charm packs, or your 5" scraps, or best of all, buy new charm packs at the shop and get sewing.  Chris will show you what to do with them.  I promise you, you are going to like this pattern.  Call the shop to register so she will know how many to plan for lunch!
     I'm glad that it is on the 17th since I will be able to attend.  Hope to see you all there!
     PS:  I made this little paper piecing block while trying to calm my nerves after learning of my mistake.  I love paper piecing.

UPDATE! DATE CHANGE

I'm so sorry but I had the date for this wrong.  This class will actually take place on Saturday, August 17th.  Hope to see you there!!!!

Are you like me in that I can't resist a Charm Pack filled with lovely fabrics?  Or maybe someone has given you a charm pack and you wonder, what I can do with this?  Well, now is the time to attend the Charming Scrappy Day (lunch included) at the Attic Window Quilt Shop on Saturday, August 10th.  Bring those charm packs, or your 5" scraps, or best of all, buy new charm packs at the shop and get sewing.  Chris will show you what to do with them.  I promise you, you are going to like this pattern.  Call the shop to register so she will know how many to plan for lunch!

WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU USE YOUR SCRAPS

When we were recently at the Attic Window Quilt Shop learning how to make our scraps into quilts, Pauline stopped in and showed us her stunning quilt that she made from scraps.  What an inspiration!  This is a beautiful quilt and a special thank you to Pauline for sharing her lovely quilt with us.
Marjorie Johnson, our reader from Utah sent us this picture of her work.  Marjorie said she made this years ago when she took a class with Phillips Fiber Art owner.  Marjorie said that she used a special ruler to make the circles and set them in using only 4 to 8 pins.  After she made it, she didn't know what to do with it and put it away.  Recently she pulled it out of her pile and decided to finish it.
Marjorie said that she lives in southern Utah about 130 miles from Las Vegas and that the temperature is supposed to be 107 today and tomorrow.  (I swear I will never complain about Michigan weather again.)
This is what Marjorie wrote: 
"I love the tutorial you posted about using scraps.  I currently have probably two bushel of scraps.  Some of the ladies use them to stuff dog beds for the shelter but I can't make myself do that so I just keep making scraps.  I am going to try pressing and organizing then I can give making scrap blocks a try.  You seem to have such talented quilters that are friends.  It would be so fun to have a group like yours."

Thank you Marjorie.  So sweet of you to say.  And I agree.  They are a wonderful group of women.
