Pillow class

Since I worked so long on Tuesday at the thrift shop, I took today off. I stayed home to read e-mail, make fudge, hard-boil eggs, and cut fabric strips. I discovered spinach in the fridge which needed to be eaten. So I concocted some salad dressing with vinegar, oil, and spices. It was ok. I also selected fabric I thought would be suitable for making pillows for tonight's class. It made quite a stack, and I had to leave some behind. But it made room for more quilting fabric. Michele left for post at 5. Chris picked her up at the gate and they went to see a movie. I took a shower and went to the SPC. Cathy had invited Debbie to show the pillows and purses she had made with obi's and kimonos. They were beautiful. Then Cathy showed the group (which was well attended) how to make a zippered pillowcase. There wasn't time for people to sew after the presentation, but I made them all take fabric anyway. I did not want to take it home. Chris and Michele showed up after the movie ended. They hung around 'till class was over and helped pack up. Then we came home.

Debbie's purses are beautiful.
Do I see a tag saying that she sells these purses? AL

Yes, they are beautiful, and she does sell them. To me the handles are the most impressive part. They just clamp on the finished purse. But she says she can only get them in Japan.
