Last night the family went to bed early on me, so I took my opportunity to do a bit of stitchery for my Polka Dot Girls quilt... yes it's been a while since I did any on it... would have finished this one if I had the right colour for the dragonfly...
A quick blog scan just now, shows me that while I was stitching on my own at home, others were enjoying some Friday night sewing too, despite there being no FNSI link for this month.
(just curious, does anyone know what has happened to FNSI?)
I rugged up like an Eskimo at mr13s soccer game this morning... the wind had come straight from the South Pole I'm sure... the Mum of a team-mate had rather a large crochet piece she was hooking away with, working up a nice big blanket for her son...using its already impressive size to give her some warmth... very clever! (Must confess to a little envy of her ability!)
Well I hope everyone has a great weekend, and gets to enjoy some stitching... sewing... knitting... baking... whatever gives some enjoyment.

Hi Anthea,
We did have to rug up last night...it was so ccccold!!! lol. What luck that you were left on your own to craft all night. Bet you had fun.
Cheers, Anita.
lovely progress on your latest block. Hope you get it finished soon.
that's the beauty of crochet it keeps you warm as you work on it, a bit like hand quilting
Crochet has made a real comeback. I haven't done any in 17 years....maybe I should dig out my hook. Your Friday night sounds like bliss.....lovely stitchery.
That's so pretty Anthea.
I've been wanting to make that quilt, just not enough time for everything..
Stay warm
Julia ♥
Hello Anthea, your little stitchery is beautiful.
Beautiful stitching Anthea, I love the background fabric.......so pretty. x
Polka Dots is coming along...lovely...its a lot of work isn't it? nevermind - once its traced its very relaxing. Well I think so anyway. My crew are off to football tomorrow night - so a nice quiet night for more sewing for me too..
your block is so lovely... I like the idea of working on a nice warm crochet blanket at soccer... perhaps you should start one too????

Beautiful stitchery...great idea for keeping warm. I remember those freezing mornings.
Love the stitchery.....isn't it nice when you get some quiet time alone.....boy has knitting and crotcheting come back big...just like quilting....I think it's wonderful...
Your stitching is beautiful Anthea. You just reminded me I have that project hidden away in here. Maybe you should crochet when you go to winter matches too.... Keep warm...Hugs

Just gorgeous! There were a few of us at FNSI... we just didn't get to link up... I guess Heidi was busy with life or just plain forgot! Oh well come on over to FNWF in 2 weeks... I'll supply the Mint Slice! :)
