Not only needed but oh! so enjoyed!!! The Friday Night Sew In is a wonderful thing. Sometimes we get so busy that we forget to give ourselves permission to play. Sometimes we get so busy that we need a FUN thing to look forward to so we can get through the busyness! Both applied to my past week! Thank you, Sugarlane Designs!


This is what I got done last night:


Ta! Da! My star (middle of bottom row) was paper-pieced and then there were about six more seams (and don't forget pressing!) sewn and my middle is done! There are four paper-pieced cornerstones and outer borders to be done and I can call this one a keeper!
Here are a few close-ups of this top ...


For those of you keeping up with my mother, her basement was 80% complete yesterday. The boys will be back today to finish up. I've got a sewing day planned today so I asked my husband to assist Mom and get all the final instructions on how to take care of her new basement equipment! Thank you, honey!

Have a great weekend!
Sue

    1. Thanks but purely accidental. Just working with colors I like. It was a mystery quilt-along so I didn't know until the very end what block was going where. Goes to show that even unplanned scrappiness works!
