FNWF - April 2014

The first Friday of the month is Friday Night With Friends (usually cyber friends)...so after a quick meal, it was time to sew - with the TV - Better Homes & Gardens followed by a chic flick "Borrowed", so I glued these and then started sewing them together....


 I didn't quite get it all done.....can finish it at sewing day on Saturday...

After that I traced the stitchery sections of Mrs Beasleys Sampler Block 2 - and added the temporary borders, so I could stitch it as well on Saturday.

Not a good photo and you can hardly see the lines but I did trace!



Then I packed everything ready for the morning.

Saturday was a lovely sewing day - just 4 of us out of a group of 9...but I finished the coaster by joining both sets of hexagons together.




and did some stitching on the sampler block.  Too early for a photo.

Pop over here to see a link up for the other FNWF stitching ladies....

Thanks Cheryll for hosting us once again...
