Friday Night with Friends over at Cheryll's

Last night I had my first virtual stitching with friends and I really enjoyed it and got quite a lot done. Although I have to say trying to explain it to my other half was hilarious and now I am sure that he thinks I have gone completely off my rocker.......he did however provide some sweeties.
They went down a treat and kept my energy levels high for all the stitching I got done.
I managed to finish another little redwork block and also 3 little stars for the gift box. I even got back to my Mini  and did a couple of stitches before the full time hooter sounded and the lights were turned off.
Crazy as it sounds I really loved knowing that in other parts of Australia and overseas other likeminded women were doing the same thing. I hope you all got a little stitching done too.
Thanks so much Cheryll  for being such a charming hostess and now I am off to see what everyone else has in their sewing baskets.
Blessings Michelle xxx

    Train him well enough and as soon as he hears 'Friday night' and 'sewing' in the same sentence he will ask no more! I have my family trained for both Cherylls sew in and FNSI :). Great projects, hugs

    Ah yes we are a quirky bunch, us stitchers, but i thought your husband might be used to this sort of thing by now Michelle! The sustenance came in handy & you got some great stitching done.
    i hope your arm/shoulder is improving... x
