Do you remember when I posted this photo?

I didn't notice the other side of the chalk board was a dry erase board....imagine my shock when I drove by and saw this today:
Apparently someone told the Flamingos about National Sewing Month and they have taken up Quilting!
WHAT? Flamingos Quilting.....Now your talking!!!! Oh yeah....new friends to stitch with :) I must say the teacher wasn't the friendliest either. While I was visiting I heard her yell at one of the students. Apparently there was one student who had brought some electronic toy to class. School is no place for electronics...I don't allow my boys to take any so I completely understood....until....
I spotted this....now I get it....this Flamingo is an "advanced" Flamingo and wasn't interested in learning to piece....it skipped the piecing and went directly for the Free Motion Quilting and was watching
Patsy Thompson's
Fast and Free DVD. I had not idea there were intellectually advanced Flamingos...perhaps they are a new breed?
I was Over the
Moon Rainbow with excitement.....Waldo and I now have a Flock of Friends to stitch with. These are some really hip Flamingos....they have
Edyta Sitar's Aurifil Thread Kit, Over the Rainbow.
Their classes started simple...they made a babushka and some scarves. Didn't they do a lovely job?
I inquired as to where they had gotten all that beautiful fabric for scarves and I was told
Hoffman Fabrics. I said really? What a coincidence....I was just at
Hoffman Fabrics on a recent trip to Southern California.
I'm going back tomorrow to speak to the head mistress and see if I can get some of those beautiful
Hoffman Fabrics to give away on my blog. Wish me luck!
Oh...and for those of you who doubt Barnie Fife lives near me.....I took a photo of his police car yesterday. Here's my proof!
Smiles,
