Monday was Steelworks Picnic Day so The Girls came to play. I made quiches for lunch, Sharon brought salad (and flowers) and Karen brought sweets.

"Hot Cross" from Carrie Nelson's "Schnibbles Two" book, using a Bliss layer cake I'd bought from
Bec, was my sewing for the day - the fabrics have been cut out for months and this quilt was a great choice for easy piecing while chatting etc.
I didn't take any more photos during the day - forgot. Sharon was busy hand-stitching, Kerryn was sewing blocks for her raggy flannel quilt (her first quilt) and Karen made this bag - it looks great and she's started her Christmas present stash.

I kept sewing on Monday night and finished off the blocks. Trimmed them up last night and put them on the design sheet - not 100% sure of the layout yet. LOVE the Bliss fabrics and think this quilt will be lovely when it's finished. Once the blocks are sewn together I'll add a small white inner border, a wide outer border in the aqua floral and red binding. I'm giving it to Michael and Peta - I think Peta will love it.

We had a lovely day and look forward to another sewing day soon.
A girlfriend and I went to see "The Cup" last night - wonderful Aussie movie.
