Friday Night Sew In




Last night was FNSI~ and I got to sew! For a bit at least. :-/ Remember earlier in the year when I tried to post my FNSI results and our computer died? And the next month the cable was out? Well last night we had storms and shut the computer down.. and unplugged my machine. :-(   It was the weirdest weather! There were over 1500 cloud to land lightning strikes, and there was damage. :-(  Not in my area, but in surrounding communities.  Home strikes, large trees, etc.  I am very grateful that all I had to do was unplug!

I did get a bit done before unplugging~



I got 2 more Great Granny Quilt Along (see previous post) squares done.  I'm making mine out of my vintage sheet collection and just loving them!

And not wanting to miss out on a good night I made 2 more design boards and arranged blocks to sew today on all 4.  :-)



Even though the weather wasn't very cooperative, I think I accomplished a lot.  How did you do?

Have a great weekend!

Your blocks look great! I need to make some of those design boards. I just have one so I can only lay out one block at a time.

Love those vintage prints! Your blocks look wonderful.
I am getting 9 blocks done but they are all the same and a bunch more to go with the rooftop garden one. It is so addicting.

I love them! My granny squares are the only thing I managed to sew last night. Looks like you had a good FNSI! :)

Loving your GG squares. Those design boards are so useful. I need to make some more as mine have gone missing.

Definitely a good night, and yay for the weather giving you enough of a break to work on something.

Great blocks! I had to look back at my blog to see if I sewed on Friday night. I think I did but I didn't post about anything. Probably just did a little bit on my DIL's quilt. You accomplished quite a bit with the weather.

These are going to be so comfy!

Who knew that having a Halloween Hop last week would bring the chilly weather?! We had rain, wind--- the power even went out for a few hours...
