The thing with stitching Friday Night With Friends is that their Friday night in Australia begins at night but mine begins here in Canada very early Friday morning. But it is night now and I can sit back and relax with some hand stitching. The newest 3030 Quilt block was released and I have not yet pulled fabrics for that. I could do that now. Maybe.
It is the beginning of July and the year is half over and I was looking at my goals for 2020 to see if I was on track or totally derailed. Among other things, I wanted to complete the 2 Antique Wedding Sampler blocks that I started a couple of years ago. And I flipped through the book Primarily Quilts written by Di Ford-Hall, that has the pattern, drooling over most of the patterns. I think I might have enough fabric in my endless cupboard to make all of them at least twice in several colorways. Also, I cleared off, at least I tried, one of the tables here in my quilt room and put away patterns and fabrics and little girls keep passing through here and asking to play UNO.
Precious little things. They are having a surprise birthday party for their Dad my son tomorrow at noon because they go to their mom's after lunch. and he knows all about the surprise party but not the real surprise. The girls have been learning to play the ukelele to serenade him. And he is paying for the pizza and all the workers in the strawberry patch will be joining us. But first, they are setting up a white bedsheet on the trampoline outside to use as a screen for an outdoor movie since it is dark now and I have not picked up a needle yet, and my computer was turned off most of the day. If I turn off the lights in here, I could watch through the window. But I could not stitch in the dark. Not very well anyway.
So I have had most of an hour here to myself without a needle in hand. But there is always tomorrow.
Blessings,
Chris
Sounds like a lot going on at your home. Sometimes it's just nice to sit and not do anything. Have a great day!
ReplyDeleteI think you could say that you are spending your time "planning". Most important. Enjoy the party. I'm sure your son will be thrilled with the girls performance.
ReplyDeleteFue un viernes de planificación entonces. También es necesario sentarse a ver qué vamoa a hacer. Recibe un fuerte abrazo venezolano!
ReplyDeleteMuchas gracias. Hoy corté las piezas por solo un bloque 3030. Me ha llevado la mayor parte de la mañana con tanta gente que viene a hablar conmigo. Me encanta.
DeleteWhat a wonderful surprise for you son. Enjoy the evening.
ReplyDeleteSometimes life is just busy, you can always sit and sew in your time and catch up with FNWF later. I hope your son enjoyed his surprise.
ReplyDeleteYou have a lot going on at your place this weekend especially.
ReplyDeleteFNwF is always on again so join in when you can... xox
You got a lot done, if not what you were intending to do! Need to process those berries while they are fresh. So nice all the meals were prepared for you.. just need to work on someone else doing those dishes for you!
ReplyDeleteSometimes there's other things you need to do besides sewing.
ReplyDeleteSee you next month.
Hi Chris gee lots happening with you ,I often have a break from stitching and sewing ,it's nice to spend time doing other things to hope you are well,stay safe my friend xx
ReplyDeleteWhen I do Friday Night with Friends, I don't worry about the time that everyone else is doing it. I just sew on Friday whenever I feel like it and call it good enough. Nice job making jam.
