Still plugging away with Maggie,s Angetl quilt for Fnwf

 Last night I joined Cheyll and the girls for a night of sewing. I started a bit later than I had planned because my daughter and the grandkids dropped over. That did mean some sewing so I guess I can include that in my FNWF. Had to sew on Anthony's footy numbers for his game today Basically  after they left I mainly did lot's of cutting then a bit of sewing
Worked on the Flying geese.
 Made some tiny star blocks All 1/12 inch bits
 Managed to get the flying geese sewn on


 Then today three friends joined me for a craft day We made a tissue box cover and some cards
We did a lot of eating and chatting as well
So all in all had a nice time
Hope you all enjoyed your night as well

  9. The perfect day i'd say, lots of different crafts and of course the important footy numbers. How would they know who to give the best player award to if there were no numbers. Great job, well done.
