Friday Night Sew In

This one snuck up on me, but I am chalking that up to the build-up and then execution of this week's events. I was smart and checked Heidi's website on Tuesday night, saw the date, texted Mom, and got ourselves signed up. Our plan: work on a quilt we planned waaay back in May. Here's my progress.

FNSI: Part ONE
FNSI August 2011
We sewed, cut, ironed, trimmed, and cut some more. ((we also may have had a quilt-store run in there too, for "more fabric". because someone is a little obsessive over fabrics)) Good progress on this, and we are getting together on Sunday to work a bit more.

::then EJ and I went to the grocery, made dinner, and relaxed::

FNSI: Part TWO
Binding
Made some headway on a long-awaited and VERY SECRET project,

then, realized I DO NOT HAVE A WALKING FOOT and had to move on to a non-sewing project:
Crochet chain trees
Crochet and glue gun. Part of my long-awaited christmas decor, I decided this was a good night to get at least these four trees completed. I found the pattern on Ravelry, and it is super-easy, AND I had all the supplies on hand (including the tree forms, they are empty yarn cones I was given with a bunch of "yarn my neighbor found in his garage, maybe you can do something with it?").
