Sunday in The City

I thought it was supposed to be sunny today!

No matter, I was off to the city

for a class in fabric crochet.

It was a four hour class and we had to do ALOT of prep work

before hand to make sure we were ready to really learn something.

I am making a basket. This is as far as I got, I thought I had enough

fabric prepared to make the whole thing! hahaha.

ROOKY.

The prep work was cutting yards and yards of fabric into

2" strips and then ironing 1/2' edges inward.

Yes, the prep work wasn't fun!

This class was at the City Quilter and Judy was our teacher.

I love to take classes and be with other quilters,

it's so fun to sew in a group. It's exhilarating to learn something new!

This group was focused!

We needed to concentrate on the counting and adding . . .

But there was some fun involved too!

This is Judy's basket and her class sample,

about an hour into the class I asked her how much she wanted for it.

That was met with lots of laughter, but no price.

So on I crocheted . .

I ran out of my prepared fabric as I finished the bottom,

but I have to say I am going to iron the million more strips

I have cut and keep going.

This is a fun basket and I want one!!

While I was happily crocheting away,

who happened to peak in but the

lovely Victoria!

She was out and about shopping with friends.

I think they did some damaged, but I didn't see a thing I promise!

hehehe.

I was a good girl, just two yards of dots for binding.

On another note . . .

The Daily News yesterday was very funny.

Poking fun at the end of the world

We are all still here and things seem to be okay.

Keep sewing ladies!
