After my previous post, I'm happy to report this one is more cheery for sure... actually I feel a bit embarrassed about it really, but I'm moving on.
Cheryll has again brought together stitchers near & far for FNWF... thank you Cheryll & it was great to know that I was in such good company with all the other fab ladies!
My Friday was spent doing about 26 cross stitches on a project... the conversation with my Patch group ladies was far too interesting for stitching while talking, so the talking won.
As you can see, I've also been adding the little half-hexy's & fussy cut wholes around the edges of the Tea Party Table Runner... it's almost a finished top, woo hoo.
Can't wait to sit tonight & check out what everyone else got up to!

The gods must have been hearing my pathetic bleating this week... & sought to cheer me up.
I had been drooling over some fabrics & patterns for a new months now, but resisted because of my current sewing space situation... but a couple of weeks ago, I finally relented & Thursday saw a box of heart-lifting goodness arrive at my front door.
A fat quarter bundle & some yardage of 'Gooseberry' by Lella Boutique, plus a roll of Daysail which was a bargain.
I'm not in a hurry, but the contents of this box will eventually become 3 quilts, with a few leftovers for future projects. "Hark" The Fabric Angels Sang!
Thanks for popping by & I hope you have a great weekend

Nothing will put a smile on our faces faster than a box/package of new fabric!! Or some new inspiration. I have a pile of fabric strips in the give-away pile, but inspiration struck a few minutes ago, and now I must go SEW!!
I'm not a quilter but that box of gorgeous fabric is definitely inspirational. Hope this marks the return of your stitching mojo.
Oooo, I'm sure that new fabric will really bring your mojo back. Sending you big stitching hugs.
Love that box of sewing goodies!!! And the hexies are still looking amazing. Good to hear you are feeling better.
Love the blue jeans hexie and oh what a box of joy 😍

While I haven't had time to get to know you yet, I do know that everyone has off days, so you're not alone or expected to be perfect by most of us.
I like what I can see of the hexies. And your goodie box has me drooling.

LOVE your hexies! Your fabrics are lovely and I cannot wait to see what you do with them. :)
Love that "old blue jeand" - Anni is so quirky.
Glad to hear things are a bit better...

Hello Anthea,
It is not about how many stitches you did but how many you had to undo! Have fun with planning your three new quilts. Enjoy the smell of the new fabric.
Happy days
Bev.
The chatting is often as enjoyable as the stitching. Lovely box of goodies Anthea
