Happy Saturday

Today I had the pleasure to meet up with Four Wise Monkeys at the Ballarat Patchwork shop. She was doing a course there, and because Ric Rac knows just about everything that's going on, she arranged for us to meet up during a break in transmition.

Here we are: Ric Rac, Scrap Bag Four Wise Monkeys and me. Pretty scary when you see yourself on the computer screen, because I was sure I didn't really look like that - but hey, I know I was there, so it must be me!!

I love going to Emma's shop to see all the fresh, bright fabrics and all the great projects she has just lying about...

Last weekend I cut up a lot of chenille that I had hand dyed. I cut it into 6 and a half inch squares and I had some left over bits that were too good to throw out, so I cut up a little pile of 4 inch squares. My little Peter found them, and thought he might like a quilt out of them ... hmmm. I told him to dream about it a bit, and all week he kept telling me that he was dreaming about it, so I finally relented and said I would think about it on Saturday.

. . . so after a little outing to the Patchwork shop and choosing some more fabrics to go with, we started laying it out. One very excited little boy was helping me and passing me each piece to sew, so it went together very quickly.
Now just thinking about the boarders. The photos are a bit dark, so I will take some more tomorrow in the light. What a happy Saturday.
