What a lovely evening I had.... at Cheryll's... with you all... stitching & sewing... & enjoying Friday Night With Friends!
My work for the evening was to continue with a stitchery for my Polka Dot Girls quilt... this one is called 'My Sewing Chair'.

Thanks to Sandie, I am well-informed that my zillion half print-half plain squares are called 'half square triangles'... another term to store somewhere in my head!
All those pretty shapes currently look like this...
I am making a very lovely pattern from Leanne's House called 'Charmed I'm Sure'... a table runner... a rather large one at that... measuring about 25" x 49" (or 64cm x 105cm)... but oh how pretty! The design features a sweet little stitchery, one in each of the 12 rows, I have done 3 of the 12.
The fabrics are Kate Spain 'Honey Honey'. I am finding it a little tricky to do the stitcheries with all the pieces sewn together first, a bit slow, but really loving it all the same.
Tonight I look forward to catching up on my favourite blogs... & if that means a very late night, well so be it!
