Friday Night Sewing

I joined Wendy on Friday night for a spot of sewing. I was very happy with what I managed to get done as my sewing mojo which disappeared for a while, may at last be starting to return.
This week I am heading off to a retreat on Wednesday so had to make a place mat for this. The theme of this retreat is 30's reproduction. Found a few fabrics from my stash and started to put the place mat together.
This is where I got to, just need to add batting and backing to finish.


Also worked on this, am way behind with my July /August parts of Natures Journey.  I need to finish my stitching on the middle block before I can add the pink border on but it is ready to go when I do.
 

Still lots of stitching to go.

A big thank you to Wendy for again hosting. Can't wait to catch up with you next February Wendy. Will have a quick look later to see what everyone else got up to. I have just downloaded Windows 10 and am having lots of trouble finding my way around unfamiliar territory. Bye till next time.

    Hello Noela, lovely stitching.....I do love the colours you are using for Natures Journey. By the way, did you see my missing mojo when you found yours? It has been hiding for a while now and I just can't seem to entice it to come home! :(
