FNWF and Zoom

 Friday night I joined in with virtual friends to stitch away together, I was lucky to be able to start in the afternoon, so I cut sashings and finished off this quick top, the panel was given to me by Ingrid.

Simple but I am happy with it.

Then I put the sashings and corner stones onto the batik quilt, it is a bit brighter than it looks in this photo.
Saturday I joined Chooky and friends for a morning zoom session
It is always wonderful to catch up with these ladies from Australia, New Zealand, Germany, Canada and USA. Great conversation, we manage to put the world to rights and see many wonderful projects being worked on. Time just flies by.

Once I had a cuppa and got my needle threaded, I finished off these three hexie flowers for the Mystery hexie quilt, I think I have another three to make.
I have been for a long walk this morning, along the beach and then up and around the new subdivision behind us, then back home. It is spring like again today and really pleasant to be outside.
Think I might go sandwich the batik quilt this afternoon.
Happy stitching.

It is nice to be able to make an early start in the sewing room. Great progress. It was lovely catching up yesterday.

Love the batik quilt - a good way to use up some "left overs" I think. (of which I may have a few . . LOL)

Beautiful projects. Bummer, I didn't realise there was a Zoom meeting yesterday. Lol I thought it was monthly. I only check blogs once a week. Btw, your blog page is coming up as a narrow strip on the left and I had to enlarge the screen. Is it my end or yours?

Great quilt tops and hexies! The zoom get together looks fun. You really get a lot accomplished!

The opening photo of the fabulous hexie quilt with the ocean off in the distance is gorgeous! I would imagine many of the world's problems are solved by stitching ladies when they meet on Zoom. =) The Minions' quilt is fun and the batik pretty is gorgeous. The grey sashing bordering those pretty batiks is perfect. Pretty hexie flowers, too.

It was great to catch up on Saturday. The minion quilt is so fun. I hope the spring weather returns here soon, as it was back to winter for the last few days

The Minions is so cute, and the Batik quilt is lovely! I keep missing the Friday night events but I did manage to zoom a bit that day - sadly I didn't see you - hopefully next time :-)
