I had quite a varied Friday Night Sew-In last night, flitting about and doing lots of different stitch-related things.
Firstly I finished this sashiko project which you can read more about at Sashiko Started It. It's an online tutorial from Susan Fletcher at Sashiko Stitchers and has been great fun.
I then put my needle down and spent an hour or sew catching up with all your wonderful quilty blogs. I love reading what you are all doing, both quilt-wise and in other areas of your lives. I find such inspiration and support from fellow bloggers.
Back to the fabric and I worked on my 'Blush' wavy four-patch for a while and then made three fabric postcards. There will be photos soon.
I was very good on the nice things to eat front. As it's so warm and summery here I resisted the chocolately things and snacked on a bowl of gorgeous dark red cherries from Kent, delicious.
This morning I discovered I am a winner in Abbey Lane Quilts' gorgeous giveaway so I'm doing a happy floral dance.
Thanks Heidi and Bobbi for hosting another great FNSI. Looking forward to seeing what you all got up to.
Love the dragonfly! [sigh] Just one more thing to add to my list of things to try.
ReplyDeletewhat a beautiful butterfly, sashiko will have to go on my list of things to try! Well done on winning your book, love the hat, hint, hint , (grin!). Off for my Sunday morning walk in the sunshine - 16 degrees, not bad for the middle of Winter, eh!?!
ReplyDeleteYour sashiko is just exquisite! And I'm anxious to see your postcards...I know they'll be great too!
ReplyDeleteSew-ins are so much fun, and sounds like yours was productive as well.
You know, cherries and chocolate go together really well. Just sayin'...
