10 to 10 class!

Our recent 10 to 10 class was a day with lots of laughs and lots of fun. Lots of sewing was accomplished, heaps of pinwheels disappeared and squares were slashed. Judy even got all her blocks finished and centre put together! What an achievement.
Looking very much forward to the next class in August.

Below are some of the snapshots from the class, with everyone hard at work!







wonder if Jillian is making hers into quilt, or if she has some other 'cover' in mind!
