FNWF - May

Since FNWF is the first Friday it is often followed by another sewing day on the first Saturday of the month..

On both occasions I worked on my latest "must do" project:

 Yes, I know I am missing a bit of blue in the first block...
I haven't done any cross stitch for quite a few years - it used to be my main "thing" and I resisted taking up patchwork because I knew I would never finish all the cross stitches I wanted to do...well as you can see I made the move and of course can't find enough time to do both.
I have seen this on a blog or too - and had to start - immediately!
(That was over Easter...how fortuitous that I have a stash of cross stitch supplies as well as patchwork supplies!!!)

It is a small project - still patchwork related and although the pattern is 4 rows of 4 squares - I am concentrating on 3 x 3 for now...in case I get over my need to do some cross stitch!!

If you feel like being sucked in too...go here.  The patterns are free!

Thanks everyone for your company last night and thanks to Cheryl for hosting us all!!

  5. oooooh, cross stitch was my main thing too, for many, many years. Believe it or not, I still have a couple of projects squirrelled away that need to see the light of day and get finished. Love that cross stitch project that you are doing. I have seen it alot in blogland.

    decide which craft to do. lol I wish we could have another

  11. Susan, you could always think of this as being that you are doing two projects at the same time - cross stitching AND making quilt blocks! Yes it's a popular SAL, and yours is lovely, well done

  14. Why did you put that link there!! I couldn't resist clicking on it and now I'm fighting the urge to start stitching that project immediately too! :o) Your's is lovely and Anthea is right... it's like doing patchwork and cross stitch at the same time. In any case it's t's just plain fun dipping in and out of different crafts.
