I just got a big ole bag of some wonderful fabrics from my sister Suzi.  She had a JoAnns coupon and during one of our rare really long-distance phone calls,  asked me what I wanted.  Nothing like ordering over the phone – at least I didn`t have to pay for shipping.  Thank you Suzi.  She sent quite a few medleys, the most predominant of which are browns.  Perfect for some table toppers in a coffee motif.  She also sent some great Mardi Gras fabrics, happy  birthday, fruits and veggies and some United States Air Force print.  That`s to make some table toppers for when her son, Alan, comes home to visit.  He is in the Air Force stationed in Hawaii.  She also wanted “Wine Night” themed placemats.  She and her husband and his family have wine nights on Fridays and even travel to a number of vineyards in the northeast to try all different kinds of wines.  I am happy to oblige.  I actually started on the Wine Night – I have two of the patchwork tops plus one Air Force done and one just about finished.  Can`t wait to get back downstairs to my studio again tomorrow.  I will also make some for my other sissie, Jessie, but not too soon.  Their house is still pretty torn up due to the re-modelling.  Just finished some more Mexican themed – one for my mom and the other for my friend, Deborah.  Deborah translates books (from Japanese to English) and always gives me a copy – signed.   If you want to see what she`s up to click on the minamimuki address to the right.  Actually, the pillow cover above was made for her.  She likes the idea of cats, I think, but would never have one in the house.
