Red club! I had a great afternoon today. Marg Low's red club at the patchwork apple. Our red club is a great group! I really enjoyed sewing with them today. Loz had her red club last Saturday, so I kind of knew what the small quilt was going to look like. (Go to her blog to check out the finished small quilt!) I got the initial square done and twenty squares of triangles. (I'm sure you don't know what I mean by that because reading it back I don't know what I mean!) Anyway. I have 40 more squares to make which should be a snap because Sara (the patchwork apple's teacher) showed us a really quick and easy way to make them. Even as I sewed the first 20 squares I had no idea how they would turn out. (Hey! Twenty squares from two pieces of fabric? Not gonna happen!) I just sewed, and sewed, and sewed, then looked at the sewing. Thought for a moment. Then realised that it was entirely possible that 20 squares would emerge once I had cut along the pencil marks.Loz and I are off to Pt Pirie this weekend to a class with Gail Pan and Natalie Ross. I think I have all the luck! I will report back on my excellent weekend soon!

I love red. Good quilt shops are hard to find. There is a new one opening near me in September - I have very high hopes.
Like your block, it is lovely in red.

we will be off to Port Pirie if I ever get packed! Am puppy sitting tonight and the two of them are putting my excellent ringmaster skills to the test....and the cats haven't come out tonight ...I wouldn't subject them to these two ruffians!
have a wonderful weekend with Loz.......
Hi Kris,
So glad your enjoying the Red club. Love the fabrics - you must be finished by now!
I knew what you meant about 20 squares of triangles. Your red quilt looks good, I must stop looking at other quilts, I don't need to start (or even think about starting) another quilt.
