Relaxing Sunday

The colour of the month for the Rainbow Scrap Challenge is yellow - click here to see what other scrap quilters are making this week.  Yellow is one of my favorite colours and is the colour of the paint on the walls in my quilting room. I love how yellow brings the light to a quilt/room/life!
It has been a challenge to find scraps that are yellow and not gold but I did find a few, and sewed up four 6" blocks for my scrappy blocks collection. 
The gorgeous gerberas were a gift I received yesterday for teaching a class on block construction for my guild. 

We had a great day sewing blocks and slicing them up and making them into something different.  Here are the sewers holding some of the blocks that were worked on at the workshop. I also made up a bunch of kits from donated fabrics so that they could learn some new blocks, and help to make charity quilts at the same time...a win-win situation for everyone! 
Lots of ideas were stimulated and I hope many new projects will be started over the summer from the creative ideas these quilters were dreaming up (I am definitely a bad influence!) 
We also enjoyed great conversation and of course some tasty treats. I didn't spot any cocktail consumption at the workshop, but then I was working them pretty hard. My thanks to each one for all the enthusiasm and willingness to try some new things!
