At the beginning of the month I received my next installment in the Block Party quilting bee. A beautiful selection of fabrics all neatly cut up into strips and a little note on how to make spiderweb quilts.

Spiderwebs. I have loved these quilts from afar ever since Amandajean mentioned them but to actually make one...well, I had gotten that far in my thinking. Nothing like a push out of your comfort zone and into the lap of paper piecing.
BFF Claire came to spend a whole lovely week with me and together we busted them out. Do you know how much quicker it is when two of you work on a project? Not to mention so much more gossipy and fun. It took Claire and I two hours to make these two blocks and I just love them. Claire loved them too and now we are both contemplating the commitment to a whole quilt of them.
So, just in time the quilting bee is done and now I can look forward the next challenge.
Claire and I had a super crafty week, and I've got lots of fun stuff to post about soon. But first, we are heading back to London for a week on Monday...so very excited...to see friends and family, go shopping, show the kids some sights. Hopefully I'll have lots to share when I get back.
Keep well.
