F.Y.I.

Willie will be teaching a class to make this large tote bag on Sunday, Oct. 3 and Oct. 10. There's still time to sign up!
This is the tablerunner that will be taught on Saturday, Oct. 2. It's from the Patchwork Tablerunners book. The picture doesn't show it very well, but in the corners are leaves done with the applibond technique, which is a good technique to learn that you can use in lots of other projects. It also makes a great gift. I think it would look good with reds in the center part and poinsettias in the corners. Or how about scrappy with flowers in the corners? Click on the picture to make it bigger to see better.
More Jo Morton fabric arrived today!
Here's the rest that arrived. I like the pink floral stripe and the large pink floral prints. They would work well for a "Blended Quilts" look.
