Fridat night I stayed home instead of going out partying/clubbing, lol. Pj's were on, ready for my second ever Friday Night Sew In.
I had been sewing all day to finish this quilt top, so even though I got myself organised (pj's on), by the evening I had run out of steam.
I had grand plans to attach the binding on this quilt,
but I hadn't trimmed the quilt to size and I wasn't in the mood to get it out and move everything off my large cutting mat.
Instead I pieced a block for the Monochromatic Challenge.
That didn't take long and I was going to join in on the great carrot sew along party, but by then I'd had enough of sewing so I made this instead.
The cat seems to like it.
Then I cut a few of these for the Lily's Quilts Quilt Along.
Not quite as productive an evening as I had planned, but at least I've pieced the block ready to embroider, and I started on cutting out the Dresden blades, so not so many to do today. I caught up with google reader and flickr. Oh and I started on developing a prototype for a crochet carrot. Hopefully I'll be able to post a crochet carrot tutorial soon.
Friday Night Sew In is over at Handmade By Heidi, so check out all the other (and probably far more productive) posts from everyone else.
I LOVE your Summer in Paris quilt... beautiful fabrics and wonderful concept! You must be so pleased with the way it turned out!
ReplyDeleteI decided against the nightclubbing on Friday night as well;) Love that second quilt!
ReplyDeleteYou have been pretty busy! Do you do the blocks for swaps? (the monochromatic one)
ReplyDeleteYep-that quilt is da bomb alright.
ReplyDeleteLove the block and carrot. I dont think you did too badly for FNSI at all!
Hi Marg - thanks for your kind words on my Eva quilt :) Your post on the FNSI sounds so familiar - sometimes I have too many projects going that my head spins and I make zero progress on any of them - lol!! I'm in love with the colors and pattern in your Paris in Summer quilt!!
ReplyDeleteYeay - a prototype carrot - I like the sound of that! I think you did really well particularly as you'd been sewing all day. I've done that on FNSI before - sewn all day and run out of steam by the night time. Your quilts are delish :-)
ReplyDeleteThat carrot is the coolest!!! If you do a tutoial I might have to overcome my fear of crochet and have a go.
