Spring in North Carolina is pretty glorious. I visited family and friends in Wisconsin and Minnesota over the last 2 weeks and the weather contrast was very drastic. Cold, snowy, rainy... all the bad stuff - when it's suppose to be Spring. I am so happy not to be clearing snow off my windshield. Hopefully pleasant temperatures will show up soon in the North.
I've had some really fantastic classes lately - honestly, I have the best time at all my classes. Sewing people are fun! I had an action packed workshop last Saturday with Courtney, Kerry, and Linda. The ladies showed their commitment to sewing and learning new techniques by getting started early - 7:45 am. They packed a lunch and we powered through the day, finishing up around 3:30. They had great success making Rufflicious Scarves from Rayon and "Pave the Way" Placemats & reversible Napkins. We had time for an easy drawstring gift bag and wine bottle apron demonstration, which I will be posting a tutorial for soon. It's very cute. Here are some photos to highlight the good times had by all~
Here is a photo of sweet Laurie, who made this cool ampersand pillow in applique pillow class with Pam and Patsy. I love it!
I am looking forward to MF Group Therapy this week on Wednesday at The Little General. Meeting starts at 12:30. Don't forget the theme for our swap this month is "flowers", which means you can bring fresh flowers, make some pretty fabric flowers, bring delicious cookies decorated with flowers... Be creative. We will be spotlighting MFGT member and friend, Barbara Young. Looking forward to seeing everyone.
Hope you are enjoying your Spring.
love,

She is a treasure, but then again, so are you Kelly. Miss seeing you.
