More FUN with Friday Frolics and FNSI...

 Last night was another "TwoferOne" as it was both a Friday Frolics night AND Friday Night Sew In (FNSI).  I had a very productive evening as I managed to put stitches into not one by two projects and I have a Happy Dance for one of them - way to go moi!

Both of these projects I began on 15th January, 2015!!!!!! Yep, six years ago but as they popped up this week as my Friday Frolics projects they finally got some love!

First up is a Lizzie Kate design, "Well behaved Women" - as you can see I used my own choice of colours  and although some of the lettering is a bit pale, with the right fabric when I finish it as a cushion, I think it will pop!




As this was a Friday Frolics project, I am going to have my first Giveaway of 2021 of this cute design (no little button nor threads, though).

The second project which I managed to get two lines of stitching done last evening - but only because TraderVic and I bingewatched the third season of Cobra Kai last night - lol! ...

... is another design which I received as part of my The Silver Needle's "A Little Help from Our Friends Stitching Circle" called "F is for Friend" by Heartstring Samplery Design.

As I said, just a couple of rows of stitching but a stitch is a stitch is a stitch!

Friday Frolics + FNwF = FUN!

 As you can read in this post, this past Friday was Friday Night with Friends .....                      

                                  


... this is a virtual sew-in hosted by the lovely Cheryll from Gone Stitchin'.

.... and I promised to tell you more about what I chose to stitch on....


This design is "Be my Friend" by The Scarlett House. It is design which I received as part of my The Silver Needle's "A Little Help from Our Friends Stitching Circle".


... and here is my progress pic...


I added the heart, the left hand chair and bird and started the urn and the house.  I would have been even further advanced if I had not had to frog the left hand chair twice!!!!!  Aaagghh!

I wonder what I will choose to stitch on the coming Friday????

Thanks for visiting,

Starting 2021 off right ....

 .... with lots of cross stitch, that is!

I have moving house on on my mind at the moment - our second new house will be ready in a few short months, so I thought that it was time that I reinstated Friday Frolics into my stitching roster!

So, to that end, I dug around and found this piece languishing in my WIP pile:


It is "Queen Anne House" by Mill Hill.  After some solid stitching (and frogging - boo hoo!) I felt that some real progress was made.

I wonder what next Friday will bring?
