FNWF

 MY Friday night was mainly taken up with preparation stuff. Next weekend Iam going with a couple of friends to a sewing weekend We are joining up with another local quilting group Should be fun.
Firstly I cut a silk scarf in half and made longer handles for a bag I got for my birthday I like longer handles
Hopefully this will work 
 Then I got some applique ready for a quilt I have planned
 Made a birthday card for a friends birthday this week
 Earlier in the afternoon I  pinned this quilt ready for quilting
So no finishes but I was happy with what I got done
How about you?

    You achieved a lot Illene, its best to get an early start for retreats. I'm always rushing at the last minute, then I forget bits and pieces which is annoying. Hugs.....

    the preparation is just as important as finishing.

    It's always good to get all those preparation things done and out of the way. So it was a very productive night for you, Illene :-)
