We had a very big weekend sewing it was so much fun.
Firstly on Saturday we attended a course at Craft Depot on Quilt As You Go - Split Personality Quilt with Meg Orr. This was an excellent day we learnt so much.
Although it was all a little daunting in the beggining with 8 ladies in the class only 1 we had met before and they all seemed to know each other AND the teacher and all appeared to have done some of Meg's courses in the past. Once the day got underway we realised we know as much as the next quilter and our worries were put aside. We both finished 3 squares and joined two of them together. It was amazing that all the materials were completely different. Meg's courses are always good and we were very happy with our quilts or part there of :-).
Of course as soon as we got home to Lynne's we were back at it joining and finishing a couple more squares. Unfortunately hubbies had to be fed and so we had to put it all aside until the next morning.

BLOCK 10 AND WISHES BLOCK 3
Sunday after a yummy breakfast we were back at it.
First job was Block 10 . This one was different than the last 3 and we had it done by lunchtime we are getting good at these now although I got a couple of my pieces in back to front but it was easy to fix and they even measure up pretty well.

After lunch we moved on the Wishes Block 3 and this involved something we had not done before. So we watched Kimberley's video through carefully and started our Half Square Triangles made with paper. Paper piecing is very easy and accurate so we are hoping to be able to do some more. This method made this block quite easy to put together and we always like to learn something new.

Then some more on our Split Personality quilts in the afternoon until hubbies came in looking for dinner :-(
