Happy Friday everyone!
I don’t
know about you but I am looking forward to the weekend. This evening will start off with Friday Night Sew In (FNSI) hosted by
Wendy at Sugarlane Designs.
This virtual event is held on the third
Thursday of each month. It’s a fun linky
party with prizes and I’ve met a few new inspiring blog friends. Visit Wendy on her blog to learn more.
Speaking
of new friends, I recently found HollyAnne Knight of String and Story. She is a
young wife and mom of two toddlers who has a passion for all things quilting. Her energy and enthusiasm are very
contagious. She writes a blog and newsletter, String and Story has a facebook page and her Facebook group is Quilting Rockstars. You can find her live on the FB page Thursday
mornings where she shares some tidbit or helpful hint. And during the summer, on Friday or sometimes Saturday nights, she hosts a Summer Social
Hour in the FB group.
HollyAnne’s focus right now is stash busting and she is hosting a sew-along using one
of her patterns towards that effort. I
know…I hear you…Really, Jeanna? Another
sew along? But wait! I haven’t purchased any new fabric, I
really am using my stash.
The pattern is Lanterns of Hope... (photo borrowed from String and Story)
This is
my fabric pull. Quite a bit subdued compared to HollyAnne's.
I’ve
stayed on task with the schedule and will finish the last four blocks during tonight's social hour. These are
log cabin type blocks and work up super fast.
So, this is
how I will spend my FNSI. Are you sewing
along?
Hope you
have a lovely weekend!
