Gung Hay Fat Choi!

Today is the first day of the Chinese New Year…and it’s the Year of the RABBIT!!   Dang…no rabbits around here…several Roadrunners but no rabbits.  So I emailed my friend Claire and asked her if she had ANYTHING rabbit-ish…and low and behold if she didn’t have a rabbit runner…and very sweet one too I might add!  Isn’t it cute?!

Were you born in the Year of the Rabbit? 

1915, 1927, 1939, 1951, 1963, 1975, 1987, 1999

People born in the Year of the Rabbit are articulate, talented, and ambitious. They are virtuous, reserved, and have excellent taste. Rabbit people are admired, trusted, and are often financially lucky. They are fond of gossip but are tactful and generally kind. Rabbit people seldom lose their temper. They are clever at business and being conscientious, never back out of a contract. They would make good gamblers for they have the uncanny gift of choosing the right thing. However, they seldom gamble, as they are conservative and wise.  They prefer to spend ALL their money on patterns, fabric and notions.   They are most compatible with those born in the years of the Sheep, Pig, and Dog. 

I was born in the Year of the Dragon…so around here I am better known as the Dragon Lady!! hmmmm… If you want to see what year you were born in then go HERE!

So…Gung Hay Fat Choi which means Happy New Year- May Prosperity Be With You.. hopefully SEW prosperous that you can afford to buy tons of fabric!

Have a thrilling Thursday and Happy Quilting!!

Happy Groundhog Day!

Mr. Groundhog never made it out to our desert dwelling…apparently he froze to death in the snow banks during the winter storm back East last night!  It’s just as well…he would have never found his way out of the tunnel here… his hole is covered with FABRIC!!

Just kidding…ol’ Mr. Groundhog is ALIVE and doing VERY well and he says he loves all the Civil War Fabric!  It reminds him of the good old days!  But did he see his shadow?…of course he did!!  This is after all, SUNNY California!!
