Friday Night With Friends

 My first project on Friday was cutting more strips for my new quilt.
I miscalculated how many half hexagons I needed, so back to 
the cutting board! I now need to cross cut the strips and then re-lay the 
whole quilt out so I can arrange the colours of the extra hexagons!
 Then I finished off block 10 of Lillian Elizabeth's Kitchen.
 
Saturday I continued stitching with my gorgeous friend, Melody. 
We attended the inaugural Needlework Autumn Gathering in 
Ballan hosted by Chrissie at Chrissie's Timeless Treasures Store & Studio
 I worked on block 11, stitching the little shelf and made a start 
on the spice jars. Mel and I only knew a couple of people so we spent 
more time stitching than going around the room chatting with everyone. 
It was quite strange not knowing anyone but we had a wonderful day 
and we're looking forward to the Winter Gathering in July.
 Thank you to Chez for once again being such a lovely hostess.

I'm hoping to do a post this week on my new sewing room 
now we have the house back in order from 
putting down new flooring. 
You may be a little surprised to hear what I've done!
