It is not often that I am thinking it is cold where I live...Winter is generally quite mild - by 10:00 AM it is often warm enough for a light top...and I rarely turn the air conditioning onto "Heating".
But its on this year - it has been cold - single digits overnight and very windy.
Nevermind, I can mostly stay in my Sewing Space and while away some time.
Tonight, as I joined cyber friends, I planned to sew some French Rose blocks.

BUT any new project is hugely exciting and the first part of the Winter Shops Cross stitch pattern has been released, I just had to make a start....
I have enough started,
so that I can sew it without too much counting & checking
on Sunday when I go to Sunday Stitchers.
Then - as it was footy time - I escaped and worked on the French Roses.
I had already prepped them so it was just a matter of stitching...
They are sewn by free motion stitching - with the wadding & backing attached. De, from the Sunday Stitchers group asked us to make some - she will make a quilt for our DV Charity.

I had made 2 previously but will have 11 in total to hand over.
Here are a couple:

That is about it - thanks Wendy for gathering us together and a big "hi" to everyone who joined in.

I envy your Winter as Fall and Winter are my favorites. We're in Summer right now but it hasn't been too bad so far.
I love your French Roses! They are gorgeous and what fun to have a group XS.
Stay warm and enjoy your stitching groups!
I love the French roses design and have made a few quilts using it.
Keep warm.
I don't remember being this cold.... we had a footy game on freezing Thursday to watch!! brrr but the pub lunch after was worth it. I love those rose blocks - will be such a pretty quilt...

The weather has been crazy cold. We headed to QLD to get away from it, but it followed us. Who expects frosts up there? I can understand why you have all suffered. Now we are home, the worst has thankfully passed. Another productive evening. The French roses will be a lovely quilt.
You got a nice start on your cross stitch and those roses are so pretty! I had another productive FNSI. I enjoy joining in, everyone is so encouraging.
that was a solid cold snap but I think this might be worse.........stay warm....always great to have a new project to work on.......
