Today is my day to show you the absolutely lovely French Roasted collection by Kathy Engle, so grab your passports and come with me to Paris where we can have coffee at a French café. Please bring your coat for it is a chilly 42 degrees F.
To enjoy our stay at a Paris Café fully, you must understand the rules of the café culture.
Sitting and sipping is the point.
Smoking is prohibited
To call the waiter, say Monsieur!
Sit, sip and enjoy!
The pattern for the coffee cup blocks can be found at Connecting Threads. I added 2 1/2" sashing and cornerstones.
I also made a table runner for a blog hop back in October which I also used the French Roasted collection. You can find the post about this table runner here .
I am having a giveaway of 4 fat quarters from the French Roasted collection. Please just leave me a comment and let me know if you have ever been to Paris or your favorite place to visit.

I went on a tour of the Gardens of France a few years ago. I thought Monet's Gardens at Giverny would be the highlight of the trip but it was the Eiffel Tower in Paris that stole the show. The Eiffel Tower at night - SPECTACULAR!

I went to Paris twice when I was 17. I'll never forget the second trip because my taxi got in a traffic jam and I missed my flight to London. I got another flight on Air India and we had to sit on the tarmac for 2 hours because there was a "problem". I thought I would never make it home!

No, I've never been to Paris, but sure would love to visit. I get glimpses of it watching the French Open Tennis Tournament on television.
ReplyDeleteNo I have never been to Paris but when I was younger I was fortunate to be able to visit Rome, Greece, the middle East. But I will say that traveling through the US is always my favorite. You can't beat the colors in the US Southwest such as the Grand Canyon, and Bryce Canyon just to name a few.
ReplyDeleteI have been to Paris and I loved visiting the art museums there - especially the Jeu de Paume which tells you how long ago I visited Paris as all the Impressionist work now hangs in la rue de la Gare . It is a beautiful city- our favorite place to visit the Canadian Rockies especially Banff!
ReplyDeleteRegards from Alberta,
Anna
