Just goes to show nothing comes between you and a workshop :)<br />I saw your EMMQG quilt at the show but didn't take a photo :( It was lovely though. <br />Hope your car turns out to be cheaper to repair than you expect.

Decided on this as Im not a fan of the jelly roll race quilt look :/ Congratulations on the new machine, that little house and tree pattern looks great in variegated thread :) Sew Surprisinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02899332449052574327noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4902503112918417582.post-18759130877812588012015-08-09T23:42:01.454+01:002015-08-09T23:42:01.454+01:00Dear Wendy

Jelly rolls - look at the library for books by Pam and Nicky Lintott. They have written about 5 books of Jelly roll patterns and you're sure to find something in one of those. Don't wash it - and when you come to sew, just check the width - is the 2.5" the V of the zig zag cut, or the tip? Have fun.Wendy @ Wendysquiltsandmorehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12199266373220519690noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4902503112918417582.post-86161552292425203592015-08-09T22:11:03.374+01:002015-08-09T22:11:03.374+01:00Bad luck with the car - at least it didn't spo...Bad luck with the car - at least it didn't spoil your day. I was at FoQ yesterday too. I don't think I did it justice though. I went with my 12 year old daughter who would rather be doing than seeing - so I did the things I wanted to do while she did a YQ workshop. I was inspired by what I saw and was itching to get home to start doing myself. Have fun with your new machine :-)Cathhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04534998852351018118noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4902503112918417582.post-56108314668413239302015-08-09T22:02:50.697+01:002015-08-09T22:02:50.697+01:00Hello Wendy!
