Noni's April Post #1

Ok... so where did the rest of February and all of March go?  I had such great plans to most on the FF blog every weekend... but I blinked and missed a month or so of weekends!  Never mind another Friday is just around the corner!

So I thought I would give you a little bit of an update on my Friday night stitching project... Faces of Joan Elliott SAL

The last time you saw this project was back in January and I was working on the Holly Fairy

I haven't done any more on her recently, instead I moved on and started the Unicorn square.

And that is as far as I have gotten with this one....

Most Friday nights I have been working on various other pieces which I haven't always taken a photo of... so I will just leave this post here for now and try and come back on the weekend with an update on this project!

Til next time,  happy stitching and may the frog not come for a visit at your house! :o)

Noni's January Post #3

Hi there!

Yet another Friday has come and gone... and I managed to put a few more stitches in on the "Holly Fairy".  Not a lot of progress but every stitch done is a stitch less to do!

I am now planning to keep this WIP out for a bit longer than January so hopefully I will actually finish this square at long last!  Maybe it might just have to stay my Friday night project until the whole project is completely finished!

Til next week,  happy stitching and may the frog not come for a visit at your house! :o)

Noni - January Post #2

Hi there!

Just a quick post today... Friday night saw my "Faces of Joan Elliott SAL" come out again.  I managed to get an hour or so of stitching in on the "Holly Fairy".

There are couple more Friday's yet to come in January so fingers crossed this block will be almost finished when the month is over.

Til then, happy stitching and may the frog stay far, far away

Noni - January Post #1

Hi there! Long time no post!

Last night was the first time in ages that I remembered to take a photo of my stitching starting point so that I could do a Friday Frolics post!  This year I am going to try and use my Friday night stitching as more of a focused stitching time with a hope/plan that I might get a long forgotten WIP finished.  This month's WIP that I want to focus on is the "Faces of Joan Elliott SAL" that I started back in 2014!

My starting point last night looks like this:

I worked on the "Holly Fairy" in the bottom corner and she now looks like this:

I managed to get a bit more of her hair stitched.  Let's see how I go next Friday night.  This piece will stay out for the whole of January so hopefully I will get that block finished during that time.

Til then, happy stitching and may the frog stay far, far away

Long Weekend Friday Frolics!

Hello!  We have just had a wonderful warm, sunny 3 day weekend and I managed to get some stitching in which is an added bonus!

I was supposed to take a photo on Friday night before I started stitching, and another one after my Friday night effort, so that I could do this post... but I forgot.... so today's belated post is just to show off where my SAL piece is at after the last week or so of stitching...

"Faces of Joan Elliott Mystery SAL" (Facebook SAL Group)
Designer: Joan Elliott

Friday night's effort (from memory) was all about the flower that the Fairy is holding.

I have been thinking that I might try and keep this piece out and work on it again next Friday night and then it might eventually get finished!!

See you next week! Til then happy stitching
Hugs, Noni xx
