Friday Night with Friends in February

Cheryll has gathered us up to stitch together again this first Friday of February. There were 21 of us this time! You can see what this group busied themselves with at Gone Stitchin'. As for me, I wanted to make some progress on Reindeer Dance. It's such a cute table mat but I'm finding it a bit tedious. Here's where I started.

While I thought that I needed to finish sewing down the reindeer legs, it turns out they were finished earlier and I had moved on to the tree trunks. If you notice, I've got a few of the middle tree trunks done but oh! So many more to go.

I worked on it this evening and managed to finish off a total of 20 trunks with only 4 to go. Then I'll have to read and figure out how to embroider the antlers on. Something about using Press 'n' Seal.

I wish I'd finish the trunks tonight but I already fell asleep once here on the couch. I keep waking up at 3am and not able to fall back asleep. It'll be a good thing these upcoming couple of weeks. The Australian Open begins Sunday and I'll be happy to be up in the middle of night here to watch it live there! Until then, I need some shut-eye.

Don't forget to see the fun at Gone Stitchin'! Good night!
