A Night In....

Yaay for some peaceful Friday Night Sewing Stitching Crocheting!! Last night I joined in with Wendy from Sugarlane Quilts and 31 other crafters for Friday Night Sew In.
I had a nice long evening in my cozy chair with the TV on and the MOML and a cat snoring breathing gently on the sofa.
I was determined to finish Part 5 of my Mandala Madness and here it is —
Part 5 completed, the pinky/red work.
This is now 20" across.
The rounds are getting a little longer to go around and I think my grand plan of catching up to the rest of the crocheters by the time the last clues are given out are pretty slim. At one stage I worked out I'd have to do 3 Parts a week to catch up but I think it would be even more than that now - oh well, I'll just have to relax and enjoy the journey (even more!).
Am loving this soooo much!
And because this is a quilty blog I'd best show a quilty picture! This morning I sewed up the last block of my scrappy-brown Fabulous Friday mystery project. This block as named by EQ7 is called Picnic Bouquet and is 18" square - a far cry from the tiny blocks from my last post - gosh the seams seemed so long!
Picnic Bouquet in scrappy browns.
A nice straight forward one to finish on. Below is my non-scrappy version of the same block. Next up is to sew them all together ready for the grand reveal in two weeks time. Aren't mysteries fun?!

Thanks for visiting, 
have a happy weekend ♥

  2. The Mandala is gorgeous! Will it go on a table top or hang somewhere? Just curious how you will display it, since the dimensional surface keeps it from being a candle mat. : )
    So pretty!!

  9. What lovely colors your mandala is. The journey is the important part, and this is coming along so beautifully. You were doing other important stuff when the rest started. =) I love both your blocks. Can't wait to see them all together!
