good afternoon! thought i would drop with a little Sister Bay…3 Sisters’ newest collection.
Sister Bay is described as follows…
“Life is better on the bay…
The 3 Sisters love spending time by the water, for the beauty of it, and for the moments of serenity and grace it brings them. Inspired by the charm of Sister Bay, Wisconsin, this collection of favorite florals and paisleys is colored in shades of water, clouds, and driftwood. Journal entries record memories of days spent on the water, accompanied by drawings of cottages, sailing ships and wildlife. Wherever you are, share the tranquility of a life well-lived, a life spent by the water…on the bay.”
take a trip to the Bay with these gorgeous prints and the lovely palette of blue, teal, and cream. our precuts haven’t arrived yet…later this week or early next week…but i’ve decided to whip up some color bundles…we have Harbor (navy), Sky (teal), Cloud and Driftwood Tonals, and Cloud and Driftwood Toiles (i realize these aren’t exactly toiles but they remind me of toiles). plus…we got in the 8 coordinating linens…so you can whip up some pillows, bags, re-upholster your favorite chair or foot stool–or set on a shelf and look at it. (which i do a lot of.) Sister Bay bundles can be snagged here. Yardage can be found here.
now for a gabby update before i head home. many of you know, gabby tore her right ACL over the summer. it was a minor tear that with therapy and rest healed up just fine. then the sunday before Christmas, we were gone all day and when we got home she was running around outside (like a crazy lady) and when she came in she wouldn’t put any weight on it. mom took her to see dr. Wendy on the following tuesday after zero improvement on monday. it turns out she tore her ACL in her left leg. So…she has now had surgery (January 10th) and came home the next day. recovery will be between 4-6 months depending…lots of walking, relaxing, ice packs, heat compresses, i’m sure you know the drill… she still tries to jump in and out of the car and at 89lbs you can’t just scoop her up. she will be coming to work but only on days that mom and i are both here…(Monday, Wednesday, Friday, and Saturday). we hope you have a chance to stop and by and say hi!
happy stitching!
