Went to two quilting classes this week.

The first was for an English wedding quilt which was relatively easy, the second for asian style placemats.

It was so hard!!! I made one in 6 hours! It was like a jigsaw

I've made another one since, last night, I'll post pics later, but can't imagine how I'm ever going to have the patience to make 8!:-(

ME TOO!

Went to class today and learnt my next block. Teacher quite happy thinks I am not going back to class because as I was leaving, she said "I want to see your quilt when finished". I told her I was coming back to class because I don't know what to do next.

I was watching some ladies making those Cupcake Oven Mitts. I was saying that I wanted to make them.

Then ... I bought a bundle of fat quaters 5 of and was going to make my daughter a stripework skirt but needed some coordinating pieces for top and bottom. I looked at the pattern and I need 5 x 1/3 yard :_|, so now I don't know what I am going to do with bundle.

Asked the teacher and she said that there was class coming up showing how to do a card wall hanging for Christmas ... :_|:_|:_|:_|:_|:_|:_|:_|:_|

LOL brizzybee.

iIwent to the Asian placemat class intending to use of bits and pieces of my various oriental fabrics, only to find out I only had enough for three, because although they are all pieced, the fabric has to be the same or they look in the teachers words "like a dogs breakfast", so ended up having to buy another 1.4 metres of fabric, plus wadding and backing.

And I thought it was going to be a cheap exercise to use up some leftover stash!
