Today Jenny brought cake!! :) so we were all very happy, she was getting ready for next week and wanted to try out her new cake topping, it was delicious!! Well back to sewing, this is the fantastic quilt everyone has been working really hard on for red nose day, the theme this year is make your face funny for money! and this quilt has lots of funny faces on :)  
 
 
This is the beautiful quilt created by our fantastic Wendy,
