Quilt and Cake success

The Quilt and Cake evening I was teaching last night was really enjoyable. I had 13 lovely people come out on a bitterly cold and icy night to enjoy sewing, socialising and cakes. Everyone put together a Tumbling Blocks block and they were all laid out together at the end which looked wonderful. Unfortunately I forgot to take any photographs, I was so busy and the evening raced by and it slipped my mind!

So instead here are some pictures of new sketchbooks

and new notebooks which will shortly be available in my Folksy shop

Quilt and Cake

Tonight's the night for the first Quilt and Cake session that I'm running so I'm just sorting out all the supplies I need to take with me. I have finished quilting the Tumbling Blocks pattern and it is now made up into a cushion, which is going to be the sample for tonight's project.

I feel very excited about this evening but also nervous, wondering if anyone will come along. If nobody turns up at least I will have lots of Karens lovely cakes to eat! Wish me luck
