Hello Friends,
I am so looking forward to Spring! I can hardly wait to see some green on the trees and some green grass! I have seen white for too many months now !
But..Hold on, despite the forecast, Life will get warmer!
Spring will come and so will Happiness with each quilt that is sewn. Blankets are great all year round, even
in the warmer climates because it gets a little cool with air conditioning. 
We have so many beautiful spring fabrics and of coarse all from Shannon Fabrics.
Shannon Fabrics has the best quality Minky you can find.  
My rep ( Bob) told me a while ago when someone asked about how to get stains out of Minky fabric he said:  "Poly and Ester" are in the fabrics, which keeps them looking white and fresh, I thought that was a great answer.  Just remember when washing your minky items to wash in cold water with no liquid fabric softner.  Tumble dry low heat.  I like to hang my quilt over a door or banister to finish air drying.  It looks like new every time.  
This is a great time to make crib sheets for your little person.  With the excess of fabric from cutting the crib sheet you will have extra to make a crib quilt.  Just add some extra fabric for the top and of coarse your backing.  Shannon Fabrics offers a free pattern on their website.
Also Nappy sacs are a great idea and are so adorable. The pattern I had, called for a zipper which I prefer over  velcro. Yes, you can put in a zipper.. you can do it.
I hope you all have a wonderful Spring!




Happy Sewing to you all,
