Ocean Waves...

Since joining the Whiston and Alton quilt groups I have needed to have something portable to work on. This isn't easy for me because I machine piece everything on my Bernina, there isn't room for me to take my machine so...

... I have been taking my Ocean Waves project... ironing and trimming up all those tiny, leader and ender, half square triangles. Finally, with a box full of them, I decided to join a few to see how many blocks I could get... 240 x 2" half square triangles later... I only made 15 more blocks! I had a few left over and I need to make another 40 or 50 of the centre blocks. I cut 20 of the cream 4 3/4" squares and started to piece them, alas, I am back to the leader and ender thing now... slowly does it eh!

I went to a wool shop to get some practice yarn for my crochet lessons. They gave me this instruction sheet too. Clear as mud!...

My Mum started by teaching me the granny thing, which is the square piece here. I see now why she was trying to persuade me to buy a plain yarn, but I wanted a pretty one! ha ha ha
The rectangle is what I have made since then, I went to YouTube and found a few video clips to help me.... baby steps.....
