FNWF Report

                                                      Everyone is WelcoMe

On the first Friday of each Month Cheryl hosts Friday Night with Friends so I decided to join in as I was stitching along anyway .Technically it was Thursday for me but that means I can stitch tonight too :-)
 So.... what did I stitch you ask , well I am busy trying to make a few things for Christmas and this little project has been on my list for a while so I have finally managed to get it made .
 
This Old World Santa is a pattern by Kim Braun of Harbour Quilts , sadly no longer a quilt shop . I made it with all homespuns that I had on hand so it is a little scrappy and was really quite fun to make . Last night I stitched down the binding to complete the work I had done earlier in the day , yippee , my first finish for November . Today I am working on a wool purse , almost done but not enough to show you . I seem to have a thing for bags these days . If you come back on Monday I will be a guest blogger on Jane's Fabrics for the Love of Embroidery , you can see the icon on my sidebar and each Monday she has been having guest who show there embroidered projects ,there have been some wonderful projects shared so why not hop on over and see what others have done . 
 We are experiencing quite a little wind storm at the moment , looks like a mini hurricane outside and lots of rain came down too so it is a great day to be inside where it is nice and dry and warm and plenty of time to stitch to my hearts content . Hope you can do something you love today , thanks so much for stopping by and to Cheryl for hosting the FNWF .
 hugs Sheila

  9. Kim's santa is adorable! Don't let Lesley see it, or it may disappear! Wasn't that wind something else? Gusts up here were up to 95km/h. No wonder it felt like a giant was hitting my house with a big bat! You'll have to explain to me how FNWF works. Sounds like fun. Can't wait to see your guest post at Jane's! You sure have been busy! Have a great weekend.
