It`s way too hot to sew. I have to plan some summer hand sewing and would like to have another go at Trish Harper`s Camelot pattern. With all those Y seams it should keep me busy. I think it could look very pretty in some of Jenean Morrison`s Silent Cinema.
Tomorrow is registration for Rachel`s Handstitched class - registration opens at 9 EST. Now if we are on GMT +1 here in Morocco, will 9 EST be 1.00 PM here?
After the success of her Curves class, which I didn`t actually do but heard it was great, this looks like huge fun. Rachel has spaced the classes out more and is even selling a kit to go with the class so that you have everything you need. The course includes hand quilting, embroidery, applique, reverse applique and English Paper Piecing.
But there`s lots to do before that. I am working on Di`s block for the Stitch Tease bee and trying something new for the first time. Yes Di, you are my guinea pig! But I can`t show you anything yet, and then it will only be sneaky peeks.
So I really have nothing to show you. Just popped in to say `hi`.

How long does it stay hot?
It gets hot here....but not usually until June, and then only through September. The rest of the year is reasonable if you don't mind the crazy winds.
It never gets that hot here, thank goodness. Love the fabrics you have in mind for the Camelot!
Did you buy the Camelot pattern?
I did!
Oh...and it's raining here!
I am ignoring the weather comment!! I took the curves class and will be signing up for handstitched class tomorrow. I need all the help I can get :)
Heat! I forget what that's like. Pack your winter woollies for the retreat!
well, I really hope you bring the heat with you in June!!
How long does the heat last? And do you have air conditioning? The Camelot pattern is beautiful!
La la la can't hear you! (Over the incessant rain!) x
I always joke that the 'winter' I spent in South Africa was the best summer I ever had weather wise! Enjoy your hand stitching, and so glad you've training him not to wear socks and shorts from an early age ;o) You'll need your thermals and souwesters in June ;o)
Wow that's a great looking quilt!
Glad you're having great weather it's been so dull here in the UK! =D
I have the Camelot pattern although I was planning to try to machine piece most of it. Maybe we should be a support group for that too. I wonder what it is like to live in such a hot place, it seems like it would be very different.
Come on over! I'm still wearing a winter coat here!
Wet & wild here today.
Love your thinking on the fabric for the Camelot project, it's beautiful.
Well when you come to the retreat pack your waterproofs and a nice warm sweater because it's going to feel Freezing compared to what you're used to!
38?? Are you kidding?? Thats almost halfway to boiling.
I love that pattern and Silent Cinema is gorgeous!! I'm enjoying the stormy weather here so you just keep that sun!! ;) xx
Like I said to Katy, I think the no sewing bug is going round. I seem to have it too. But, as long as you are working on my strip I'm a happy camper. LOL
