Well it’s been a busy little week here at the Thistle Patch (you know, as opposed to my usual quiet, sedate weeks ;o) ) The WSCMQG has a website, it’s now up on the Modern Quilt Guild main site, and they’ve Tweeted and Facebooked us too! Lets hope it brings the members rolling in :o) I’m already expecting 6 or 7 people at the first meeting!
My only sewing finish of the week is, alas, a super secret until September or so, so sorry, only a teeny sneak peek of it:
In Progress:
I got my first week’s blocks done for the Sew Happy Quilt QAL:
And my first Japanese x and + block done:
I also chopped up the paper templates for my rainbow cushion, but the super secret project finish had to take precedence progress-wise because of a mailing deadline.
I have this weekend coming down at my mum and dad’s for my dad’s 60th birthday weekend (and can I just say that one of my friends/colleagues that I was out for dinner with tonight was totally depressed to find he was older than my dad lol Sorry Theo!) I’m hoping to get mum fitted for her skirt, and the skirt actually sewn when I’m down there, as it’s such a quick project, so that would be another tick off the FAL list :o) I have one small project to do tomorrow before I head down, but I’ll share it when I get back.
Linking up to Lee at Freshly Pieced:

Enjoy your weekend (I am younger than your dad……………just)
Enjoy your weekend! And how on earth can you show us a sneak peek of something you can't show more of until September?!?!
You must be joking! I can't wait until September! Can't you make an exception?
What's this!?!? A sneak peek on something that you're not going to show us until September? How can you tease us like that?
Gratzy on getting your WSCMQG site up! How exciting!
I can't believe you already have something done for September. Goodness!
Happy pre-birthday, Your Dad!
Congrats on getting a Modern Quilt Guild started! I'll have to time my next visit to Scotland with one of your meetings!
Adore the fabrics you used in your Sew Happy QAL.
You know which block is my favorite. Congrats on getting you group formed. Have fun at your first meeting.
Good luck with the MQG that's great you have 7 people already.
That's not fair giving a peek at something that we can't see until Sept, such a loooong time 🙂
a SEPTEMBER secret? I can't believe you are that far ahead of yourself!
