Gathering - Part 2

Part 2: I decided to take my Vignette Noticeboard with me for 'show and tell'. Leanne kindly offered to take my pic with Leanne (thanks Leanne!): So, what did I work on for the day? I made a start on my Paper Piecing Dresden's. I tell you, these are SO much fun! Leanne's 'Needle Roll' pattern has 4 half Dresden's, so I thought I would start on those, and this is all I did. I got ONE half one done - for the WHOLE day lol! I took some of my own fabrics - scraps of Nancy Halverson, and made a pink and green half:

Then Sunday morning, I decided to make a random one using the Nancy fabrics. I totally love them!


Here is a pic of Me and Rosalie (I look a bit tired, it was the end of the day!):



Another of Rosalie's patterns for the day, a stitchery stretched over canvas. Jan made a start on this using blue thread which will look so pretty.


Leanne shared with us some blocks from her 'Vignette In Stitches' quilt. Only the ones from the magazines so far......


And, the Hexagon Quilt. This is totally awesome! Some of the interesting fussy cutting patterns were just beautiful. You may be able to click on the pic for a better look:




I am very, VERY tempted to start this quilt!


Here is Fee, all ready to go home... Check out all those shopping bags lol!




Thanks to the Crow Girls for such an amazing day, it was just wonderful to have it at the Church, it looked AMAZING! Thanks to Leanne and Rosalie! Lovely designs for the day. You girls are awesome! And, to my table buddies..... Thanks for such a FUN day xx

Hi Sarah
I had this brillant idea, De would like to do the hexagon quilt and so would I so why don't we start a little group for people who are interested and see what takes shape, what do you think?
