Anticipation

Next Friday I get to take a quilting class from Joanna Figueroa of Fig Tree Quilts.  She always designs such adorable fabrics and patterns.  For class we get to choose from one of four of her patterns, and I've been collecting fabrics for her French Kiss pattern.  The class is part of Quilting in the Garden at Alden Lane Nursery in Livermore.

Shopping has been angst filled to say the least.  Life has been really busy so I haven't had a lot of time for serious fabric shopping.  Also, the pattern calls for a matching honey bun (that roll of 1 1/2" strips) and a charm pack (a pre-cut stack of 5" squares).  I don't have time to cut my own so finding matching ones for sale that I really liked was going to be hard.  Also, I feel like I've been sewing with dark and muted colors lately so I was really happy when I found these fabrics which are brighter.

Everything is packed.  Now I just have to wait until Friday to get sewing!
