Friday Night


Last night we sewed together for FNWF hosted by Cheryll...... it was a hot night here and I was happy to sit and sew some backstitch animals...

My little duck is done.....


During the week I had a day of machine sewing to myself....

I worked on catching up with the blocks for Wish You Well.... all the stitcheries and the applique circles had been done....


so it was a matter of playing with my box of fabrics to place all the pieces....


I kind of find it easier doing a bunch of blocks at the same time... then I just need to clear up one time


All the main blocks are together now..... I will be shopping for something suitable for a border


Wish You Well has been a BOM hosted by designer Gail Pan for her I  Stitch Club... it has been such a lot of fun to do with stitcheries, applique, piecing and the use of lovely lace and doilies.

This weekend is retreat time.... I come home in the evenings but daytime is spent with friends sewing.....

I have taken my heavier sewing machine and doing some free motion quilting/raw edge applique on my animal silhouettes....


Righto, Gotto Go..... time for a coffee then get myself ready to go and sew!

Have a lovely weekend... it's a scorcher here so plenty of water will be consumed!

    I so love the bits of lace on that piece! I'm glad you're able to stitch with friends at the retreat, too. How are you handling virus protection at the retreat? Lots of open windows? Sewing machines very widely spaced? I know you're being safe, just curious about the details :)

    Your version of wish you well looks beautiful. It's been fun seeing all the different colourways and little tweaks that people make.
    Did you sign up for next year? I have.

    Wish you well is even more stunning when all the parts have been sewn together! I joined a QAL that starts in January that uses old linens......it reminded me of your Wish you Well.......

    I hope you had a happy time retreating - I imagine it was hot in that room....
