the weekend that was.........

Wow I have just enjoyed a wonderful weekend sewing with friends...............

there was supposed to be 4 of us so Janice found this bottle for us to share "Four Sisters" but at the last minute Deb couldn't come..........don't worry Deb we drank your share..........

simple salad buns...........

The plan of attack for me for the weekend was my SKofW Stitch-a-long quilt 

My Favourite Things by Anni Downs...........from her Some Kind of Wonderful book

I had row one and some of row 2 traced onto the applique paper and fabrics cut for a couple of blocks.........

but by the end of the weekend I had all the blocks traced onto applique paper............changed 3 of the blocks to make it more "me".............cut all the background and weaveline for the back of the blocks........

picked out heaps of the fabrics and got things all organised into plastic sleeves and into rows...........yep feeling a bit too organised but hey there is always a first..............lol

some are more prepared then others..........

and finally I had one finish.............this is replacing the icecream block..............

sadly we had already drunk the pink bubbles so didn't have any for the photo.......

what do you think???

and I had the pleasure to see Janice put her quilt together.............she had rows and strips.............now she has a quilt top but I'm not going to ruin  her show and tell so here is a snippet...........i'm sure when she gets a chance she will get a post up..............but it was very exciting seeing it grow...........

my other friend "the finisher" and I tackled machine blanket stitch.........

hope you got to do something you enjoy on the weekend.........

we also had a fire and BBQ one night and a beautifully sunny weekend...........well if it can't rain at least it is lovely weather.............

Catch you later..............
