Back to sewing group

Sheesh, I know the internet can be a fun place to be, but when your internet explorer "no longer supports blogger"... I'm giving this Google Chrome a go, but with dial-up it's like watching paint dry, in slow motion. I'm going to attempt to load some pics and write a few words, but I'm reckoning this will take me a good 1/2 hour to a hour to do, here goes nothing!


I went back to my first sewing group for the year a week ago. It's such great fun and I enjoy meeting with other like minded people all wanting to create something wonderful. My sewing group meets up Wednesday evenings at Quilters Quarters at Rangiora. I decided to take along a project I first started in November last year, a bargello quilt. It got stalled for awhile cos the blocks were challenging and you needed the patience of many Saints! Anyways, after going back last week I finished off another block and then last weekend had a "block day" at home and managed to complete a complete block. Very tiring, but very rewarding. To keep up the motivation I am sewing the right side of the blocks first and then will tackle the left sides later.

 

Gosh, that was a long painful 15 mins to download one image.... I was going to load four more... Then my cat decided to lie across my lap and my laptop then became a, reach for it and type with one finger, if you can laptop!

The fabrics to the right of the image above are my latest purchases from 'Grandmother's Garden' which I haven't put away yet.

I might add some more pics later after I head to the Telecom site and check out about Broadband in my region!
