FNwF October

Last night i joined in Friday Night with Friends hosted by the lovely Cheryll.

Just a few things stitched. Around lunch time i trimmed back my little stitcheries for Send my Love bom & cut a background piece to applique some EPP to. Then onto a necessary but boring job which i'd been putting off - winding DMC threads onto cards. I only thought i had a few needing to be replaced but that few turned into about 20 & took me several hours. Just as well i have Netflix to entertain me. :) :).

The evening saw me me applique the stitcheries to the backgrounds.

Applique the EPP down
This is the front of a  needle case i'm making for a swap.

Lastly i started doing the stitching on this panel from a ufo which i discovered to my disgust i had  started on back in 2012.
I'd dragged it out earlier this week & have completed the front & back panels & i am now up to the small stitcheries which go on My Little Teahouse sewing bag. I'm hoping it isn't another 6 years before it's a finish. :) :).

Pop over to Cheryll's blog to find out who joined in & what projects they worked on.

Happy Stitching,

Looks like a very productive night for you Jeanette. I have DMC threads that need winding onto cards too ... for some reason, I always put that job off.
