April Showers

Hi Everyone,

We returned back from our Spring vacation yesterday and couldn't quite believe that it was sleeting....!? We decided to drive to Florida this year since it's only about 11 hours to our destination, but yesterday I think the entire East coast was under siege by some sort of precipitation. Our drive home turned into 15+ long hours of traffic jams mainly due to the rain. So happy to be home even though our time in Florida was glorious and the weather could not have been more perfect.

I had some pretty great students in March and I am looking forward to more sewing class adventures this month.... this year is buzzing by too quickly. Here are some highlights from the fantastic March classes.

Kitchen Essentials with Pam ~ Carrie modeling Pam's fabulous apron

Courtney, Kerry, Linda, and Diane ~ Coasters & Cocktail Napkins class

This was such a fun class. Sadly, we ran short on time and did not get a chance to make the gift bag. I am getting together with this bunch again soon for a mini Sewing Workshop Day. We will definitely have time to finish the gift bag, along with a cute wine bottle apron too.

This was a bon voyage gift for Abby, who recently moved to DC.

I got together with Eileen for the Baby Essentials class - a favorite! So easy and quick. In 2.5 hours, Eileen made a baby blanket, 2 washclothes, a burp cloth, and an applique onesie for a baby shower gift... and a gift card too. Adorable!

This is the class sample I made... perfect for a boy or a girl, don't you agree? Maybe more girl.
