I decided on some machine work for my Friday night sewing, and am happy to say I had a productive and enjoyable time :-)
I was one of 60 from around the world who signed up with
Wendy from Sugarlanequilts for this month's Friday Night Sew-In.
 |
| As well as other bloggers, Edith and her family kept me good company :-) |
I continued on with the Weathervane blocks I started
last month —
 |
| You've seen these before but now there are more... |
And I managed to get them all joined and bordered.
 |
| I'm fairly certain you can tell from the print who this project will be for! |
This morning dawned a nice day, Autumn is in the air these mornings and it's pleasant to spend some time outside gardening —
 |
| Because of the dry ground conditions at the moment, gardening consists of trimming the grapevine so the sun can ripen the fruit and the pets can have a treat. (The pets get the leaves not the grapes!!) |
After a while it was time to head back inside to take advantage of time zones and join
Joanne in her FNSI.
 |
| Here we are skyping and sewing, taking obligatory photos of each other! |
This time I was doing some quilting; this quilt has been on the table for quite some time and I was excited to get back to it again.
 |
| I'd done all the ditch-stitching previously — |
 |
| — but as you can see, I've still got a little ways to go!! |
So all in all a great time was had be all! Thank you all for your company, and thank you Wendy for hosting us, I didn't take advantage of the yummy recipe you shared but there is always next time :-)
