Last night I had a late start to my Friday Night with Friends. I went grocery shopping late and you all know the story, it takes longer than you think etc etc. Anyway I finally got out to my room, no organization or prep done so decided to work on all the things I have already started.
 |
| Stitched 'embroidery' and quilted folder top ready for lining. |
 |
| Stitched together this thread catcher, just need to add ric rac around the top. |
 |
| Xmas Hearts, front one has blanket stitch done, have used Xmas fabric on back. Thanks to Terry for pattern. Still got to add embellishments and ribbon hanger. Have a lot more cut out to make. They are so cute. |
 |
| This is from a Nancy Halvorsen book. I love this saying and have made it before for a friend but always wanted to make it for myself and this Xmas is it. Sorry for the poor picture quality as I traced it in pencil. |

| Added borders and pellon. Used Nancy H fabrics from a few years ago. |
It ended up being a late night but at least I got a bit further with a few things. I am posting late as today my family came over for lunch and as they have now all headed home, I am free to get on the computer. It was a lovely day and I am extra happy as we were able to get onto Skype and talk to my grand-daughter who is on study exchange about 4 hours from New York. It was lovely to see her face and talk to her. Fortunately where she is didn't lose power. She said they had bad winds and rain and today snow was falling lightly. So it is good to know she is okay.
To finish here is a photo of my grandson on the quad bike. You can see we need rain as the yard is so dry with leaves off the trees everywhere.
Well I am off now to check out some other blogs and see what you got up. Thanks to Cheryll for hosting the night. Hugs........Noela.
well done Noela on a productive night you did well,yes your ground does need some rain.xx

ReplyDeleteWhat lovely projects you had to work on this FNWF!!! You've done Extremely well getting all that done!! ... Can I ask firstly, what fabric range (if so) the black & white fabrics you've used in the folder top & thread catcher were from, and secondly, which Nancy Halverson book the stitchery is in - it is *gorgeous*!!! I can see why you're making one for yourself!! ... Great to see what you're up to, now that you've got your gorgeous Gardener's Journal Quilt top done!!
