Friday Night With Friends.

Boy 1st of August came around quick. Another great opportunity to sit with Friends & sew hosted by our lovely hostess Cheryll. I spent my evening finishing off buttonhole applique & starting the embroidery on the next blocks for our Gossip In The Garden Stitch Along. Today i'm tackling 15 pieced periwinkle stars. Wish me luck with those. :)
 
 Newish camera & no matter which scene i select to use the photo's are crap. I have to take heaps in different spots & then pick the best from them. Anyways pop on over to visit Cheryll to see what the other lovely ladies who join FNWF worked on.

Happy Stitching,

Sending you hugs of encouragement for those periwinkle stars! You're my heroine today. ;-)
Re: the photos...surround the feature in your photo with White...don't take photos near fly screens...stay with as much clear natural light as possible...roam Pinterest for photography tips. That's just a few, but you'll find heaps to help you when you go hunting. xxx
