Today would be slightly different as Alison, Amanda, Caroline and Chris were coming to do a mini workshop. I had made a Christmas quilt sample for Needle and Thread using the Basic Grey range of fabric called Jovial, (which can be seen in a post in July), and they thought they would like to make quilts using the same pattern. Caroline and Amanda were using the Jovial range, Chris was using a range by Kate Spain called the 12 Days of Christmas and Alison would be making a scrappy version.
Amanda arrived first followed shortly by Alison and Chris, Caroline would be a little late as she had an earlier appointment.
As usual we started with tea and banana and chocolate muffins from Alison and then were quickly down to cutting fabric.
By lunchtime, most of the cutting was done and the sewing had begun.
For lunch we had chicken and bacon lasagne from Amanda with salad from Caroline. For dessert we had cider crumble slice with creme fraiche from Janet - this was a recipe from the Caked Crusader's blog.
Chris left soon after lunch, Alison, Amanda and Caroline continued on not even stopping for tea and cakes, they just ate, drank and sewed!! With our tea we had cupcakes from Stephanie (honorary Tuesday girl for the day) and caramel crisp and flapjack mini bites from Chris.
By 4 30pm Alison Amanda and Caroline were finished for the day having made lots of trees. Alison and Amanda had made over 20 each and Caroline a few less. In a e-mail, Chris told us she had continued at home and had made 20 trees.
A very productive day, watch this space for the finished quilts!
And as usual a great day with great company.
