Bending the rules....

I've really enjoyed making my 9 nine patches but I'm afraid it's resulted in me bending the rules somewhat. You see, I'm not sticking to the one-a-day rule....I made 16 in my first session (because I was 10 days behind) and 42 in my second! I now have 58 which means only 12 more to go. I just need to crack my last 6 colour combinations which is not as easy as it sounds having used most of my fabrics. Don't they look scrummy on the cake stand!
The girls, Clare, Kay, Michelle and I attended our 6 hour machine quilting workshop yesterday. We were all pretty excited about 6 hours behind a machine before we even got there! The workshop was run by Mary Williams through the WEA. We didn't quite get 6 hours worth of machine time but we learnt SO MUCH and can't wait for the next installment in a fortnight. Highly recommended.
