Friday night sewing...

Nothing on tv last night so it was a good opportunity to get the sewing machine out and sew.
The latest Sweet Stitches block should be arriving soon so it was time to get July's block pieced.
I had cut out all the pieces last week so it was just a matter of revving the machine up.
I thought I would go with something a little fresher than the other blocks I have made and I am happy with the result.  It is definitely a challenge for me making these borders and I was a little disappointed that I didn't get all the hst's as perfect as I wanted but the overall finish I am happy with.
So here is my July block...... ready to prepare for quilting.

there hasn't been much other crafting happening just another row done on my Christmas cross stitch.
Today I am off to a crafting day with Elyte and the girls at Bluegum quilters. We are going to learn how to make pieced hexagons, should be fun. Don't worry Liz I am not going to want all those AHHH patterns lol

Disappointingly no offers to give a home to the males of the family, and I thought you girls were my friends?
There have been a few offers for the patterns thankfully.
Cheryl for the Quilted crow patterns
Carrie for one of the Quilted crow patterns (Brunswick)
and Wendy for the Peace quilt pattern.
If you would like to let me know your addresses I would be more than happy to pop them in the mail.
Thankyou for the offers of a home for the boys of the curly variety, I will keep it in mind should the need arise. For today they are safe as they had a wonderful bath and trim yesterday and are looking very handsome and not smelly at all (and they haven't destroyed anything major or started to dig an open cut mine in the garden bed in search of cat cookies.)


Have a great weekend
