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.
ReplyDeleteI 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.
ReplyDeleteKeep 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.
ReplyDeleteYou 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.
ReplyDeletethat was a solid cold snap but I think this might be worse.........stay warm....always great to have a new project to work on.......
