Florida Quilt Network - Newsletter #265
January 6, 2021
Quilting Friends,
I’m always on the lookout for cute giraffe quilt patterns
because my mom loves giraffes. Isn’t
this one cute? And I promise, it took
about a morning to make, including the gallery facing (no binding). I found the pattern here. It is laser cut and it’s a similar process to
‘paint-by-number’….it could NOT be easier!! She received it a few days before Christmas
and carried around her floor at her senior living home to show everyone before
she finally hung on the wall. I think
she liked it!
I may have mentioned before that we are currently building a custom home in central Florida. My husband had a good time creating a little time-lapse video of the progress thus far. We still have 4-5 more months to go. Anyway, its a fun video to watch: https://youtu.be/U2_QlF0IY8g
Finally,
you may not know that the Calendar page on the website is
a quick way to view upcoming events all over the state. Give it a look-see.
Happy Quilting,
Mary-Jeanine
PS: I’d love to
hear from you, so drop me a line sometime.
