... with friends....
Michelle took a road trip up the range and over the hills and into the country to where I live for a chat and a stitch.... and then when Kris finished work for the day she popped over too for some more chat and giggles .... what a lovely day it was
The two look like they are being naughty!!
I've also been catching up with the Splendid Sampler Blocks:
these are very sweet and fun to do as they are all so different.
 |
| Snug as a Bug designed by Amy Sinibaldi |
 |
| Focal Point designed by Natalia Bonner |
 |
| Friends Around the Square designed by Julie Karasek |
My Tuesday continue to catch up with regular friends Christine and Lyn to do Sylvia's Bridal Sampler Blocks
 |
| Lady of the Lake |
 |
| Laurel Wreath |
Some of these blocks take a while and require reverse sewing .... and two done in a day seems a really impressive job!!!
I'm also catching up with a bit of Quilting.....
I am very lucky to have Toni's latest quilt to come play at my house for a bit ..... first of all I am going around all the applique in an invisible thread - it shows up the applique without showing up over the different colours .....
I have rellies that look like this..... seriously I do .... but without the necktie!
... and of course I am always catching up with some hand stitching... This is Tutu Teddy from Michelle's Tea Time Teddy's group....
... lots of catching up yet I still feel I haven't caught up on all I want to do and all the people I want to see!!
Righto, Gotto Go.... more catching up to do!!! I do hope you have a wonderful rest of the week
Lovely everything and how nice to catch up with friends <3
ReplyDeleteFiona everything you do is just amazing. The bridal quilt is really coming along and looks great.xx
ReplyDeleteI had the loveliest day..thank you x Kris and I are never naughty haha! Your Splendid Sampler blocks are just as lovely in person. I'm in awe over those Sylvia blocks...clever!
ReplyDeleteIt sounds like you girls had a fun time, as well as being productive.
ReplyDeleteTime with friends is priceless!! Love all your stitching - and the look of Toni's new quilt!
ReplyDeleteSo good to have lovely friends come to visit.
ReplyDeleteGreat work on all the wonderful blocks you have done.
And good luck with the quilting.
What fun to have them come and visit. Love your stitcheries.
ReplyDeleteI realized I need some small projects made up, so next time I get stuck in a doctors office for 3 hours, I have something to do, lol. Stitchery is something easy to carry and do anywhere.

ReplyDeleteLooks like you had a lovely day out with the gals Fiona :-) [very pleasant memories!] YOur blocks all look great, love the colourways you are using. Out of interest, what thread are you using as invisible thread, I haven't tried one in my sw16 yet. Very cute teddy. Happy Weekend!
