On Friday we all went to the Australian Quilt Convention and had a lovely time doing workshops, and checking out all the beautiful fabrics and quilts on display.
Several of us did a hand piecing workshop and I have been inspired to start a 'scrappy' hand pieced quilt just for the fun of it. Yesterday I sorted through all my scraps and came up with the colour combination of red, cream and black and have plopped them in a small pile on my desk to start cutting out on a rainy afternoon, or our next get together. It's nice to have a small project you can just put in your hand bag for those times you need some portable sewing.
It will be interesting to see what size it ends up before I get sick of it. Perhaps only lap size!
Photos to follow.

You're off to a flying start, well done! I'll be looking forward to seeing your selections next get together.
ReplyDeleteI finished my piece today after not being able to thread the teeny tiny needle at class!! I'm also hooked - stars, hexagons you name it. I really really like to do hand piecing
