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 catsnoring breathing gently on the sofa.
I was determined to finish Part 5 of my Mandala Madness and here it is —
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!).
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!
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?!
If you'd like to see what others got up to on their Friday night, just click *here*. Thank you Wendy for hosting us all :-)

ReplyDeleteMassive wow 💖💖💖
ReplyDeleteThe 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. : )
ReplyDeleteSo pretty!!
