Fun With Fats!!

Shiisa Quilts held its very first special event on Friday night!!

Twenty very special customers joined us for an evening that started with pizza (from Pizza Express, of course!)... once everyone had fueled themselves for the labors ahead, we broke out the fat quarters... a whole LOT of fat quarters!!




Bonnie and Patricia demonstrated the folding instructions and everyone started to work... they were spurred on by the knowledge that someone would win a prize for folding the MOST fat quarters of the evening!! Tim Slack won that honor by folding 196 fats and won a starter kit of Soak. Tim swears that he would have folded more had he not run out of fats to fold!!









We had prizes for the youngest folder and the oldest folder as well as the folder with the nearest birthday!! Then we had prizes just because it's fun to give away prizes!!

After the work was finished, the Fats Folders and Fabric Fondlers (I think we need to start a club, don't you?) explored and shopped.



What a fun night it was!!

I'm so happy that there is a quilt store in Bloomington again! I happened to see a car tonight driving around with "Shiisa Quilts" on the back window and did a search as soon as I got home. Hoory!! Can't wait to come check it out :)
