Da-da-da-da-da-da!

....drumroll!  The newsletter is done and should be on it's way to you shortly!  Now you know what I've been up to, but wait until you see what everyone else has been up to.....

Healing Heroes - May 5th, we had a wonderful guest PN who brought the ladies a fabulous pattern he designed.....
It's the perfect size for a Heroes quilt and what a fabulous design.....

May 6th - The Girls from Barrie, a show and share by GU only!

First up a wallhanging!

I love daffodils!
Then the Beach (snow) Ball Quilt....


Click for a closer look at those beach inspired prints.....

Next a beautiful jewel toned batik quilt.....


and last but not least this gorgeous floral quilt......
She's been pretty darn busy but really productive.....

Last Friday night I was busy working on the newsletter and some other pressing book work when a new customer came in.  I always love looking at fabrics through other people's eyes and this was definitely the case here.  She's a teenager and her choices absolutely "rocked" - I can't wait to see the finished product....hope she brings it in, but in the meantime I'll show you 3 of the 4 fabrics she chose......

One of the things I love about the store is when my customers come to share their projects.....

KC came in this week to pick a border for a wall hanging she is working on but she also brought her Valentine Bargello, the one she did with Carolyn on April 14th - and it's completed.

A close up so you can see the fabulous fabrics she used......

It came out fabulous - I just love it when you share your projects, especially the ones that are classes at the store.

Speaking of which FT came in this morning and shared a few of her projects too - the first one is absolutely fantastic!  It's from Fiona's class - Photo Extensions..... 
Can you tell where the photo ends?????

The second project is from Carolyn's Hanging Gardens class which was held in February.  This is not her first one - she just keeps making more....there great - so much imagination!

 This pillow which she made up is for someone in Europe and I thought it was so adorable I had to have a picture - this would be the front.......

....and this is the back - actually you could have it either way!
After the last couple of weeks and after having put the newsletter "to bed" I too feel inspired so, I am off to do some quilting!

Happy Quilting!
