The Book has arrived

Wow, it's arrived. My new book called "Quilts from the Selvege Edge" has arrived. I found out about it through the Selvege Blog .. have a look in my favourite blogs!
I've been cutting the selvedges off all my fabrics and now have a large plastic container full . I have to choose a pattern. I'm thinking log cabin with little squares of green in the middle. I'm making this for our club challenge in May.. the theme is GO GREEN! they are all so different, some quite arty and colourful. It's going to be fun, different but fun! Have to get my a into g.. it won't take long especially since Symposium is at Easter!! I have procrastinated tonight and went to visit a friend instead.
As for the scales. I thought they'd got stuck and hadn't moved for 3 weeks... but they have.. I gained .2 haha. Watch this space!

I gotta get a scale with percentages of points! No worries, I'm sure if you keep plugging away you'll see a big drop soon!
