 Now just what was Selina up today!



 Wow!  What an amazing quilt this going to be Sel!  Very clever calculating the templates for each numbered block... I'm impressed, very impressed... stay tuned everybody!

Liz does the most amazing embroidery doesn't she, this piece has been going for a while now and was left in the cupboard for a while but she's back to work now.

Check out the shoes Lynne was wearing today, they are actually the same colour but the camera didn't see that somehow.
