Take a bunch of ladies of a certain age.  Put them in a room together along with their sewing machines and a couple of irons and PHEW,  honestly we could sell the heat generated to the national grid!  It was a huge room but my specs still steamed up.

I took the two day 'Bargello' class with Liz Hands at Stitchcraft I worked hard and managed 

to stitch the quilt top.  There was lots of cutting and sticking stickers on the pieces, but Liz is a great tutor and I only had to unpick one or two rows :)  I need to add the border and backing do the quilting and binding etc, but I am a bit proud of myself.  I do know that not all the corners match up properly, btw.....
