FNwF

I started my Friday Night with friends early. I needed to get out my collection of repro/civil war fabrics & of course they are all stored in a crate underneath another crate aren't they. Then came the task of choosing fabrics for the project i'm making. That decided on it was preparation time & this is the result.
Last night i started sewing down the applique. This is the block chosen to start with in a group sew along for Gossip In The Garden by Anni Downs. I had no intention of joining in let alone starting another new project but my arm was twisted & the culprits know who they are. :)

Pop on over to visit Cheryl our lovely hostess to see what the other ladies who joined in last night worked on.


Happy Stitching,
