tonight (last night? it is past midnight) I went to my most local quilting group for the first time, I have been wanting to go for ages but then I've been away so much I keep missing the meetings. Anyway, it lived up to my expectations, everyone was lovely and we had a mini workshop - tesselated stars

- mine was a bit messed up because I hand sewed it and made my seam allowances too big (even though I measured them out, grr), anyway, it's quite a pretty pattern and if you make 4 of them you end up with a magical 5th star appearing.

The workshop was run by Sheila Wilkinson, I liked her, she had the right mix of tell you how to do it then let you get on with it without you feeling as if you were abandoned.
