2nd class..........

Back to the second class with Chris Jurd at The Home Patch
This was the mess the night before class.............trimming back some blocks and sorting things out.........
stitched the last scallop on the inner section............
joining the outer and inner rings...............
the 2 inner sections are not joined together or joined to the other 2 sections yet...........
I had them pinned on to see what it all looked like.............
thinking this is going to be the background..............
another version of Mariners Madness............someone who was worrying about their "points"........OMG I couldn't see what was wrong with the ones I looked at.......
We're both pretty much at the same stage.............
Debating if we will go back for another class or can we work it out.......
The decision would be easy if it was just around the corner.........but it's a big trip......one of the many disadvantage of having no shops close by............
&&&
gotta run in a few hours I have a friend Janice coming to sew with me for the weekend and another coming tonight............sadly Deb got interrupted by life and can't come...........
hope you get some sewing in this weekend..............
Catch you later..............
Chookyblue
PS Peg and Dales adventures have continued............after returning to the eastern states of Australia they have packed up and gone on a road trip........I think you may find some regular posts here
It's amazing what you find if you google "Peg and Dale" there are lots of hits...........LOL.........and images..........
