A VISIT FROM THE FABRIC FAIRY... Heidi Pridemore of The Whimsical Workshop, aka the fabric fairy, made a HUGE donation to the Peace By Piece Quilters fabric stash this month. We started this year with a donation from Heidi's scrap bin. We learned then that Heidi's scraps are pretty awesome! And this donation from our fabric fairy is just as awesome as the last one was. It's obvious that Heidi's creative juices have been working overtime with this donation of FOUR BIG bags of awesome whimsical fabrics! You'll find a link to The Whimsical Workshop website on our Favorite Links page. FUN. FUN.. FUN...

BUZZ...

| If you missed the last Peace By Piece Quilters Bee you missed a FUN new quilt pattern. Alexis introduced us to several quilt kits that were made up using this NEW pattern. It's is a reeeally quick, easy, FUN pattern and several volunteers enjoyed putting these quilt tops together. Because everyone liked it sooo well, Alexis has promised to make more kits for us to sew using this FUN NEW pattern. |

You'll find a yummy new recipe has been added to the "Recipes" page of this website. It's one of my favorites and when I make it, it goes fast. It makes a great dessert and an excellent tasting breakfast. I'll bring samples to the next bee so you can please your taste buds. Remember...
