Jelly Roll Day

What a great day we had on saturday!  Six of us all armed with jelly rolls - some more 'handled' than others - Tricia's and mine were a disgrace, Jan and Yvonne had followed teacher Helene's instructions not to undo them before the class and hadn't even taken them out of the packaging!!
We all worked very hard, the only unpicking was when Jan lost the plot just before tea time and, convinced the teacher was wrong (there's always one) unpicked hers (surrepticiously, under the table) five times before realising that teacher was, in fact right, and there was no need to unpick!
By the end of the day we had made a very good start on our jelly roll quilts, and are all determined to finish them (hopefully I'll get forwarded some pics as proof!)

And it was really nice to welcome Anne and Barbara all the way from Maidstone:

Meanwhile - look what came through to the kitchen the other day - is it any wonder my knitting always looks a little the worse for wear?
 
Got my revenge this morning though - both Mr Bojangles (above) and Matilda are, as I write, being given a much-needed make-over by Sara, the best dog groomer in Berkshire!

If they look as beautiful as I hope they will, I may post a picture!
