I've recently got my sewing grove back and decided to start making a quilt I brought fabric for at the Craft Expo in Sydney earlier in March. I bought a layer cake and pattern from Busy Thimbles. The ladies who ran the stall are lovely, and whilst I didnt attend one of their seminars this time, run kick ass seminars. I was inspired by the one they ran at the Quilt and Craft show in 2010 I bought the log cabin ruler and had some fun making a few log cabin blocks. I'm still deciding whether I should make a log cabin quilt or not using a Moda Jelly roll. Feel free to comment below with your thoughts regarding log cabin quilts.
Anyway, getting back on track, I spent a few hours yesterday cutting, arranging and beginning to sew my blocks for my quilt. The pattern is called Cherish Nature. A nice and simple pattern for what will hopefully be my first useable quilt. Here are some progress shots:

I also cast on the Ginger Leaves Shawl that I'm making for my sister again. I had to frog it because I messed it up, so hopefully I wont do that again. I'll keep you postd on how it is going when it starts looking more shawl like!
Happy crafting :)
