First of all many thanks to Wendy for organising our Friday Night Sew In's again this year.
As usual I started the afternoon with my Stitch Journal and Fridays star was the middle one of the bottom three.
Sorry for poor photograph - another grey damp day here.
I then walked to our nearest coffee shop with a neighbour and spent an enjoyable couple of hours catching up. However, when we left it was tipping down and we both arrived home looking like drowned rats!
I have completed the quilting on the first outer border of Wings and Pretty things.
Sooo good to have reached the edge. One down, three to go but I have now folded it away until after Christmas as space is at even more of a premium at the moment!
So yesterday evening I pulled out my Field Journal folder where fortunately the next few are already drawn up. This sweet little plant was very quick and easy to stitch up and I am looking forward to working on another one this evening.
I have started on some crochet this week - sorry no pictures but oh is it gorgeous! Some beautiful handspun yarn in a lovely colour combo. Pictures next time.
Meanwhile, I wish you all a very Happy Christmas and I hope you have time for some quiet sewing in amongst all the busy festivities!
The stars for your stitch journal are so nice. The quilting on Wings & Pretty Things is beautiful! Hand quilting takes a long time but your quilt is going to be so beautiful when it's finished. Happy quilting!
