FNwF

Being the first Friday night of the month means sewing virtually with a group of likeminded people.    I have to say that not one stitch did happen last night as it was all about getting slabs of aqua/teal fabrics that were stitched together during the week

Onto the ironing board and pressed ready to be cut up for the next round of  RSC bibs.   


After that it was time to do some research for another blog hop that I have joined which involves finding a  book that has been around for sometime, dusting it off and making an item from it. 


After flipping through several books a few times each I kept going back to one project that I am leaning towards.  A final decision is yet to be made but seeing that February is a short month that decision needs to be made very soon - just in case I am not happy with my choice and need to go to option 2, 3 or 4.   

I also did some work on my Tickled Pink item.  It is almost to the finish line.  

During the week I met up with some friends at one of our favourite outdoor cafes.  


It has cover should it be raining or extreme heat with plenty of fresh air so we figured it was a good place to meet up.   There are lots of lovely walking paths around the cafe which lead down to the water and of course good coffee.


Thank you Cheryl for organising another fun Friday night again.

Back soon and in the meantime

Happy sewing all

The fabrics are lovely. Mmmmmm coffeeeeeeee. I haven't had coffee out since the beginning of the pandemic and I suspect it was extra yummy . Enjoy stitching and coffee drinking.

nice lot of teals/aquas to play with.
I'm looking forward to seeing both Pickled Pink and what you've chosen from an old book also.
A lovely spot to catch up with your friends and enjoy a coffee.

Your prep work last night will mean the rest of the month is rather productive.

You had a busy Friday getting organised. You just reminded me that I'd better get a move on with my pink project too!

So nice to enjoy some coffee while sitting in the warmth outside. Up here north of the equator, we're shoveling snow! Hahaha! Looking forward to seeing your #1 (or 2,3,or 4) choice from the older magazine stack! What a great idea! We've all got that "inspiration" pile.

Picking a project from an old book sounds like a great idea!
Sounds like a great venue for a coffee shop meetup.

A Friday night spent organizing sounds great to me! Any time in the sewing room is a good time.

It sounds like you had a productive evening! I'll be interested to see what project you come up with for 'dust off an older book' hop. Oh and the Pink hop also. It sounds like you found the perfect spot to meet your friends for coffee.
