Friday Night with Friends

 A weeks delay for our FWWFs but thank you Cheryll for getting us organised this week. Sadly, having spent the day painting the garden fence all I could manage in the way of stitch was my Stitch Journal. Here is the last week


Friday nights sewing was that sweep of running stitch to remind me of the sweep of my paintbrush!

This week saw the completion of the quilting on Wings and Pretty Things. Look carefully and you might spot + marking the last stitch!


I worked on my Chookshed Challenge this week - a simple project that was done in an evening.


This little kit cost me peanuts in a local house clearance warehouse. The fabric is silk and the lovely threads perle. Now hangs from my bedside lamp.


I swapped numbers this month in favour of this simple project as I have secret stitching to do and that is now under way. Also this week I got the handles and bindings ready for my selvedge bag which I hope to complete next week when I get out the sewing machine.

So that is all from me for now. Have a good week.

  2. I could not find the last stitch but I was admiring your lovely even hand quilting. You have captured the sweep of a paint brush beautifully. A pretty little lavender bag.

  3. I always love your stitchery and this week is just as gorgeous as always. I love the stars (don't what they are but they look like stars to me). The one on the bottom right, did you use the skein you dyed a few weeks ago? The darker blue? It is so cool. Love that. Bravo for a little project finished. Enjoy! ;^)

  6. How appropriate to have a sweep of running stitch. It must feel so good to have finished your quilting. No, I couldn’t find the end. I love the simple lavender bag.

  8. It is nice to do a quick project now and then, to offset the larger ones. The lavender bag is very pretty.

  9. That’s a sweet little lavender bag. I stayed in Thirsk many years ago at an old mill house for a stitching week course. She had the most beautiful stitched lavender on a fleece blanket (which I bought). My room was decorated with lots of lavender too. So pretty.

  12. Your stitching is always a joy to see. What a sweet lavender bag. Does the heat of the bag waft the lavender scent around the room? Or at least as far as your pillow?
