Friday Night with Friends Results

I spent yesterday evening cutting pieces for two more Farmers Wife blocks.  I did not get them pieced last night but I did finish them up this morning.

Block #1 Attic Windows:  I really liked how easily and quickly this block went together.  I would like to make a few of these into a table topper.
I decided to make a second block again this week.  This one is block # 31 Evening Star.  The piecing is getting easier for me now that I have made 10 of the blocks.

Has anyone joined in with Red Brolly's Girls Own Stitching Club?  


I have made a dent in the first sampler that came out the end of April.
All the pieces will go together in a quilt and it is garden themed.  You might want to join in if you haven't!

Just want to share a picture that is not stitching related.  Our weather has taken a turn for the best and we are now enjoying our spring!  All of the rain has the ponds over the banks this spring.  I tried to take a picture of the Mallards that come in every morning for a swim without scaring them off.  Hopefully you can find the Mr. Mallard that I finally caught in my lens.

Have a wonderful weekend!

    I just love the star block. I never would have tried such slightly different fabrics. I will have to try a star like this. I like the Red Brolly stitcheries but think I really have to stop adding things to my "make' list. I had to enlarge the photo before I spotted the mallard. He really is handsome though.

    The pond and Mr Mallard look serene. Lovely blocks, Brenda. The Red Brolly stitching looks wonderful, too. I love to look, but have not tried any of these beautiful patterns yet. I have so many projects in the works right now, I best just enjoy the eye candy. Thanks for sharing ... :) Pat

    You are a master of blending fabrics!

    I had a job at a quilt shop once. My 'duties' there were to help match and coordinate fabrics for customers!

    I loved it.


    Until I found out on the second day I was allergic to such mass quantities of sizing.

    Rats.
