A Woodwork Project!

 
As part of their VCAL studies, Mitchell and Austin worked on making these tables for the preps to sit and eat their lunch. The class had to work out the average height of the preps and then draw the plan for the tables and work out what they needed to buy. Next job was to build them. 
I think they have all done a wonderful job.

Tonight we're off to a Presentation Ball as Mitchell
is partnering the lovely Lucy for her debut.
Hopefully, I'll get some lovely photos to share with you.

putting these together this afternoon.
Backing for baby quilt.

My Dresden Has Arrived!

 
Yesterday I received some lovely mail. It was from Barb (Barb's Creations) who was my Dresden Swap partner. Barb has made me a gorgeous cushion using fabrics from my favourite designers, Bonnie and Camille.
 
Barb also added some lovely extras. Two more Bonnie and Camille fat quarters to add to my collection, some DMC threads, lovely soap and a couple of latte sachets.
 
Thank you so much for my lovely gifts, Barb. 
I just love my cushion.
 
Thanks again to Shez and Peg for organising this fun swap.
 
It's the first Friday of the month, so that means it's Friday Night with Friends. I'm joining Chez and the girls. My plan is to cut out the backing for my tumbler baby quilt. 
Block 11 of my Fat Quarter Shop BOM has also arrived 
so I want to get that cut out too. Then if it's not too late, 
I'll start sewing them together.

Will I see you tonight?
