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!

I love your fabric choices--am loving blue&white anything lately--from antique bowls to quilts...so lovely hugs for a great weekend Julierose
I have been watching Holly Anne even though her style is not the same as mine. She is so enthusiastic and "real". Bubbles over in personality. I don't plan on doing the Lanterns quilt but am enjoying seeing the fabric combos each person shares a picture of. Your fabrics laying spread out look much calmer than Holly's choice but yet are quite bright when sewn into the blocks. Enjoy using your stash.
Love the fabrics you are using for your version of the quilt. Your quilt blocks are looking very lovely. Hugs,xx
It’s going to bea great FNSI with that pattern and those fabrics.
Pretty fabric choices for your new quilt Jeanna. Nice stitching with you x
Pretty blocks. Looking forward to seeing the end result.
Your fabric pull might be subdued but OMG so pretty(my colors!). Your quilt is gonna be so beautiful.
I'll check out Wendy's blog. What a great challenge. You've pulled wonderful fabrics from your stash. Have fun. Enjoy your weekend.
