Sunday Stitchers, Turning 21.......

Last Sunday was our monthly meeting for Sunday Stitchers. We had another wonderful day enjoying each other's company.  This time we finally received back our own row along quilt. Unfortunately I still can't show the top as we have one more row to do before we reveal our complete top to the other girls who didn't participate. The new row will contain some sort of embroidery, not sure what I will do as yet but we have until our final get together in November to complete it. This will add the 8th row to the quilt. To say I love my top is an understatement. It is amazing how all the tops looked so different.  I think everyone felt the same way as I do and loved how the theme for each row was adapted by the maker to suit the quilt they were working on.

This is a peek at my my first row which contained a bit of embroidery 

A bit of Show & Tell above and below.  Jeanette's Gossip in the Garden top and her Gail Pan Xmas top.

Maree's Gossip top and her very cute Hexagon bag.

Dee's Chicken baby quilt, very cute.

On Wednesday, I headed down the coast for the night to have a special birthday dinner with my son's family. My grand-daughter, Kiah, turned 21 and it was lovely to celebrate with her on her actual birthday. The photo below was taken a couple of months ago as I forgot to take my camera  on Wednesday night. She is having a Harry Potter themed birthday party next weekend. I raided the op shops yesterday to find some clothes to wear. I am going as the pink lady and managed to get some pink clothing to wear from head to toe.

Well that's it for me today. Hope everyone has a great weekend.
Till next...... Happy Stitching.............

Last night I joined in with many other ladies for Friday Night With Friends hosted by Cheryll.    Thank you for another wonderful night of sewing Cheryll. You can check out what everyone got up to by clicking on the link above.
Below is what I worked on. These are some Gossip in the Garden blocks which go below the teacup cup block that I am still blanket stitching.

I made these blocks and added them to the two I had already put together.

My next row in the Row A-long quilt with Sunday Stitcher's is hearts so I did a trial one for my row using some scrap pieces.

I think this will fit the bill. I have started to cut out the pieces for the 8 blocks and will make up the row on Monday. Can't show any photos of that as it will spoil the surprise when the quilts are handed back to their owners later in the year.
Well must go, tomorrow we are off to the coast for a hot rod event. We were to go today but I woke up at 3.00am this morning with a migraine and ended up in bed for most of the day. Thanks to lots of TLC from hubby, I am feeling much better tonight.
Am looking forward to seeing what everyone else worked on when I get a chance.
Till next time.......... Happy Stitching.........
