A fabulous day.

A great day to be out and about today, especially for a quilt class.
I took a trip up the highway to Ballarat.  The closer to Ballarat I got, the worse the weather was, so by the time I got there the weather was perfect for a day of sewing.
I had organised a spot in a class at Ballarat Patchwork ages ago, before I had an abundance of projects on the go.  But, what could I do but add another?
Today was Georgetown Turnaround with Trish Harper.  A large handpieced quilt.

Here is my version of my first block

The green on the outer border will be triangles alternating with my white background.  It's awfully busy to me at the moment.
I also found a lovely gift for myself.  I've been looking at these sandpaper/ cutting/ironing boards for a long time.  Well today was the day.

And last but certainly not least, I was weak and bought a fabulous bag pattern.  The demonstration model in the shop was lovely,  and I fell in love with the 2" rings that hold the straps onto the bag.  Well, that's my story!

This bag is big enough for a small- medium sized laptop, but isn't specifically a laptop bag.  I really loved this bag.  The bag uses fusible fleece and iron on pellon, I have no idea what the difference is but I'm going to consult Mr Google and find out.  I may find enough fabric in the cupboard to make one with!  That makes it practically free.
