Friday Night with Friends


Many thanks to Cheryll for getting us all together again this week. You can see what everyone else got up to here

I managed to fit in a hours sewing yesterday afternoon - we have had cooler, damp weather here this week but Friday afternoon was warm and sunny so we spent most of it in the garden. However this is what I was up to in my sewing room.


The sampler quilt I have been working on along with my patchwork group has finally got to the border stage and I was very happy to be machining on the border strips yesterday afternoon.

I am so looking forward to showing you all the completed quilts as everyone has worked hard and made very individual versions. Hopefully next month.

I have been sewing my  1797 revisited quilt along with a facebook group and earlier this week I spotted a gorgeous pincushion on the site and just could not resist having a go. Yesterday evening I was busy sewing the patches together and this afternoon I made up my pincushion. Here is my version.


The hexies are 1 1/8" long and super cute.

My Easter wall hanging is now finished and ready to take with us on our Easter travels.



It is wet here again this afternoon so I am going to get on with my RSC project - more on that next time. Hope you are having a great weekend.

  4. Oh my, the colours in your sampler quilt are beautiful, Lin. I cannot wait to see this pretty finished. Love those itty bitty hexagons. Again the most gorgeous colours to be seen and how fun you transformed them into a sweet pin cushion. Your lovely Easter embroidery looks perfect surrounded by those pretty fabrics. It is a most beautiful wall hanging.
