I've had a brilliant weekend so far... I say 'so far' because it's a public holiday weekend here in Western Australia, so Monday is a day off too!
Why 'brilliant'?? I have been cutting & sewing like a mad woman... making progress on two different projects.
What's also brilliant is that my beloved Brisbane Lions AFL team had their second win for this season... but I digress...

This weekend Chookyblue (of Secret Santa Christmas Swap fame) is celebrating two years in her Chookshed, & she invited all of her blog readers to join in whichever way they liked... so I have set myself up on a kind of stay-at-home retreat.
(You can visit here to see what the otherparty animals ladies got up to)
On Friday I pieced together two more blocks for my Quilting Gallery Breezy Beginner Sampler Quilt...
Block 4 Double Monkey Wrench
Block 5 Friendship Star
Here are the first five blocks all together...

I've made a flying start on a project I just can't leave alone... my fabrics are the fat quarters I was sent from the lovely ladies of the Fat Quarter Birthday Club earlier in the year...
I'll let the pics do the talking...
After all my cutting, sewing & pressing... followed by more cutting, sewing & pressing...
Ta-Da! Yep, the non-quilt-maker is at it again!
Two borders will be added, & I just can't wait to watch a chick-flick while snuggled under it! I'm following this tutorial on Riley Blake Designs.
Thanks so much Chooky for having us all at The Shed over the weekend, I've totally enjoyed it!
I hope that you have many more years of happy sewing & friendship under its roof...
Now, it's time for Sunday night telly... is anyone else watching Mr Selfridge?

Love those blocks. I too joined in the party...at midnight my time! I am slowly venturing into the world of quilting...
Lovely blocks and your quilt looks great Anthea. You have been very busy. I love watching Mr Selfridge too. I'm not sure about over your way, but it's annoying it's on so late here (doesn't finish until 11.45).
Beautiful blocks and quilt, you had a very productive weekend. Congratulations Kim on your lovely win !!
Oh wow.... two quilts at a time on the go.... I love the blocks, they are coming together and I just love that happy quilt that you put together so quickly... wonderful to get fabrics that coordinate so well and then find the perfect pattern.

You've chosen lovely fabrics for your sampler quilt. I'm not sure you can claim that you are non-quilter any more!
Gorgeous fabrics in your new quilt Anthea and a great use for the fabrics you received too. Love the new blocks you have been working on too.
I really like Block No. 4 the double monkey wrench....
