Hello Creative Community!
I want to take a minute to talk about this cute wreath that was constructed by Karen C. !
 
The class for this wreath was held back in December. The technique is simple and beginner friendly. We positioned our fabric squares on a fusible grid. Once the fabrics were positioned correctly they were then fused in place. Everything is then stitched and pressed and like magic your quilt is almost complete. Anyway, I really want to share Karen's fabric choices. The wreath is beautiful, now look at her fabric choices.
Everyone who has viewed them was surprised, well shocked that those fabrics could turn into such a beautiful wall hanging. Just take a moment to think about those fabrics. Why do they work? If you find choosing fabrics difficult, or frightening, perhaps you should join me in class on February 16, Learn How to Make a Quilt! Choosing Fabrics!

Lastly some sewing humor! I saw this and thought it was sew true!
When a quilter in her sewing room says "5 more minutes" think last 5 minutes of the 4th quarter and both teams have all of their timeouts left! A statement your sports lover will understand!
I look forward to seeing you around the shop!
