Friday Night Sewing.

After a busy day helping my son clean and rearrange my grandson's bedroom, I finally got into my sewing room, after an early dinner, to work on an old UFO from last year. Of course it was FNSI hosted by Wendy B of Sugarlane Quilts so I happily stitched along knowing that many other ladies were stitching along with me. After adding the sashing between and around the blocks, I started on the final border. This took me a while to work out so after putting on the side borders, I decided to leave the other two to another day as I was getting a bit weary.
Today I finally got around to that little job and am happy with how the finished quilt top looks. Below is a photo. The sun was going down as I took these

Now to layer it ready for quilting.
This is a photo taken at my April  Sunday Stitchers Group.  7 of us are working on Gossip in the Garden quilt by Anni Downs. This is the second block. I am already behind and have to catch up on the first block as well as our third block due late May.

To finish I will show you a photo of the gift my son Todd gave me to help me see my stitching when we sit outside at his place. He uses one of these when he goes night fishing on the beach. It actually works very well so no excuse now not to stitch while waiting for the food on the B-B-Q to cook.
Hope everyone has had a wonderful Easter so far. Till next time. Happy Stitching.........
