I do enjoy taking part in the monthly Friday Night Sew Ins hosted by Wendy, they encourage me to make the most of my Friday crafting time.
This month I started at 4pm and got a good mix of things done.
I sewed two more blocks for my scrappy round the world quilt (following guidance from Quiltville Quips and Snips) and figured out the best use of pressing and seeing time in order to increase the number of blocks I can make in an evening.
Whilst I had the sewing machine up and running I zig zagged the edges of a piece of fabric for a future cross stitch (white on white so not that easy to see).
I added a couple more lengths of thread to my blackwork project; this big block isn't feeling as intimidating as it was before I started the purple stitching as the pattern grows quickly.
And I got to the halfway point on my Musselburgh Hat and added the second colour, they always seem to go faster from this point.
If you want to see what others got up to on this Friday night pop over to Wendy's blog or look for the FNSI group on Facebook.

Nice mix of projects for your evening. xx
You are working on a lovely variety of items and making good progress on them.
You got a lot done! I'll be interested to see how your trip around the world progresses... xx
Your quilt blocks look great. I can't wait to see what you stitch on the easy grid fabric. The blackwork project is coming right along. You're making me want to get out my knitting needles...ugh, I need more hours in the day.
Lovely mix of projects. Interested to see what you stitch on that piece of fabric. Thanks for commenting on my blog, i couldn't reply as it came up as "no reply".
