but you just can't sew with friends without some snacks?
I made these very very very yummy almond biscuits
"biscotti"
using Christine's recipe HERE
... sooooooo easy..
... the only hard bit is waiting to slice and dry!
PS.... I did share with Hubz even though he didn't do one stitch!!
Cheryll hosted Friday Night with Friends
... and I love to have a reason to stitch with my mates....
This is what I got up to....
Scrappy binding for Chris's quilt....

What great projects, girl - and yummy looking snacks, we stitchers sure do need sustenance, lol!
ohh the quilt is looking gorgeous!!!! And such a gorgeous stitchery...thanks for bringing the nibbles last night lol!!
The binding will suit the quilt so well. Yummo, biscotti! We bought some Swedish cinnamon bun biscotti while we were in Canada, it was made using the same spices as the bakery's cinnamon buns and was absolutely delicious.
Fab binding Fiona, it will look great!
And that Almond Bread looks so yum...
Your Almond Bread looks delicious! A successful night of sewing, by the looks of it! Even if hubbie didn't contribute!
I have a new found love for a good scrappy biding :o) I am also making yummy Almond bread but just need to restock the almonds as I might have just eaten them during the week! hugs
So much done sewing with friends, I find myself talking too much when I try to sew in a group. I must learn to multitask. The biscotti look delish, healthy too I'll bet.
Heaps done and the binding will look great when on the quilt too. I haven't had biscotti for years
Biscuits aren't a dessert, they are a snack, and snacks are encouraged to keep your metabolism working effectively! I know all the rationalisations, lol. Your binding is looking gorgeous! Lovely work on your snowman! Your babies must be almost done :)
Oh I must try and make some of the delicious biscotti...
Nice to get the binding done.. sew many sneaky things too.
Love your scrappy binding. The red work is coming along nicely and the biscuits look delicious. Hugs....
Mmmmm yummy biscotti. Nuts don't count as sweets.
Cute stitching, I was working in red too, though not on a snowman he would have melted here today!
Looking forward to seeing those little gingerbread people who keep sneaking in the pictures.
Enjoy looking in everyone elses sewing space.
You had a good evening, and the snacks look perfect
You are being so good....it looks very yummy. You have certainly done a lot on Chris' quilt. Well done x
LOL I am just doing some scrappy binding, never use to like scrappy for bindings, now I LOVE it. Will try the biscotti biscuits soon I just daren't make anything else my two freezers are full to the top so anything I make would have to be eaten straight away, I can feel the pounds going on my hips just thinking about it!!
you got such a lot done Fiona!!! great job...don't you just love stitching with mates!!!.....Love the biscotti you made too.....yummo! xox sugary hugs Wendy :O)

Cheers, Anita.
Mmmm, the biscotti look seriously scrummy.

Wow, you certainly had a successful evening! :) I love sewing binding on, but don't particularly enjoy making it.
Thanks for stopping by my blog. :)
Scrappy binding are so satisfying - using up leftovers especially if you've used a jelly roll. I love your stitchery.
Those little gingerbread men just keep popping up don't they!
The Biscoti look fabulous! I must try them some time. Another great sewing evening. I will try to remember to join in next month.
I have never tried a scrappy binding; but seeing how fun yours looks I think I may have to try it myself.
The biscotti looks wonderful too!
wow you had a busy night . . . .

You had a busy night...the biscotti looks delicious...love the way you describe things..hope your husband enjoyed the biscotti
Your biscotti looks yummy, I may have to try that. And all your projects look lovely, cute little snowman and bird, hugs Wendy
