Design wall

My wall is a bit late as I have just returned
from a weekend quilting with 120 other like minded ladies.
It was such fun and the best part is no cooking or washing up!!

I did a class called "Whirling Windmills". only managed to complete 5 blocks.
I will be making a second one and donating it to charity.

Happy quilting Susan

What a day!!

Today has been wonderfully busy!!
I did visit the guild this morning and did my thing 
The ladies were so accommodating and they loved the block
There were two new members who had not made the bow tie block before.

This afternoon my regular sewing ladies arrived and we did a  bit of brain storming
Our local museum turns 100 next year and we have been asked to make an A4 sized quilt
depicting our own personal "Memories of Pietermaritzburg"
As a child, my parents owned a business making and selling ornate window guards and I always remember the cats playing amongst the stock.So I hope to represent this image.
Watch this space!!

I also finished a customers quilt and have already loaded the next one.
I am so grateful to be so busy.
Until next time
Happy sewing
