If you are in the "summer sewing slump" then this is the perfect opportunity for you to get motivated!
Most of you already know the drill.. but for any newbies out there.. here is how it works.
1. Enter your blog info below. **If you don't have a blog - you can enter the Flickr group link as your URL.
2. Make a post on your blog - letting all your readers know about the sew-in. Spread the word.. we could all use the virtual sewing support and encouragement.
3. On Friday – 08/20/10 - Get your house settled, put on your comfy jammies.. maybe make a cup of tea.. and sit down to work on some of those projects (or anything else that you want to work on.. maybe you want to knit.. or catch up on scrapbooking).
4. Then, sometime on Saturday - Make a post about what you worked on.. show us a picture or two on Flickr.
And finally - on Sunday 8/22, we will enter all participants into a GIVEAWAY for something fun! (Including our new FNSI Pin Cushion) Bobbi and I both pick winners - so you each will have 2 chances to win!!
What are you waiting for... SIGN UP.. then tell ALL YOUR FRIENDS!!!

Oooh second! I'm usually always late!
Sounds like fun!
I SEW need to participate next Friday! Thanks for the kick in the pants, gals.
I'll be there! Can you clarify though for me please. Are we supposed to post pics on our blog or on Flickr?
The last month has gone so quickly, looking forward to next week
Yeah finally a FNSI that I can take part in as hubby will still be away working.
Love and hugs Gina xxx
No Summer slump here as it's Winter but it's still a slump. Haven't even finished off item from the last Friday Night Sew In!
Can't wait for the fun to begin, even managed a night off work this time so I can sew along with everyone else. Should be perfect sewing weather around here- we're mid winter.
can't wait! better get dinner cooked and in the freezer ready to go :)
I have a project in mind already!
Looking forward to joining all the folk for FNSI on the 20th Aug.
Thanks Heidi and Bobbi
Missed out on July's FNSI . I was afraid the same thing would happen in August. I got lucky. I'll be in town so I will join in. Thanks Bobbi and Heidi for hosting.
ooo I want to participate so badly but it always seems to be on a night when something is going on that I just CANNOT get out of. My brother is moving into our house that day. Doubt I will get much done that evening other than catching up with him. Good luck to all who participate though. Can't wait to see pictures.
My sweet daughter just went back to college so I need some good "take my mind off of it" sewing!!
Thanks!
Missed last month because of vacation...I'm ready this month!
I'm makin' plans and preppin' fabric and basically getting pretty happy about the possibility of sustained sewing time.
I read about the FNSI after it was over. Sounds like fun, I'm looking forward to it!
So excited! The 20th is my last day at my job (I start a new one 23rd) but I can't think of a better way to celebrate! Thanks for organizing :)
I'm warming up the sewing machine now.
I've been busy working outside so by Friday Night I will be more than ready to get some sewing done.
I just had to sign up - even though I won't actually be home on the 20th to actually sew that day or evening (going on a bus trip) - but I'll do my sewing on Saturday, and post that evening, then I get to catch up with everybody else on Sunday - happy, happy sew-in!!
Looking forward to next friday night.
This is the motivation I need to get busy on a project that I've been putting off. Now I need to learn how to post pictures on Flickr. lol
I would love to sew this Friday!!
See you there
SheilaC
My hubby & I will both be joining!!
I love these FNSIs!!
I am Elena's husband and this is the 2nd FNSI I will have participated in.
FNSI nights were an awesome idea, as it lets us catch up on projects that get set aside throughout the month.
This sounds like fun and I usually don't have anything going so maybe I can get something finished.
This is my first official Friday Night Sew-In, and I am definitely in a summer slump! This will help, I'm sure :-)
Count me in!
Sounds like a lot of fun....a whole night just to quilt!
This sounds wonderful...what a great idea...I'd LOVE to join in too if I may?.
Hi, please count me in again. Friday Night Sew Ins are so much fun. Thanks for the motivation.
Happy days.

I had a blast last month and was eagerly awaiting this month! Hooray for Friday!
Hi, can't wait!! I'm just having a problem trying to work out which projects I'm going to work on!
Count me in!! Can't wait!! Polly
Can't wait to sew along. But . . . how did time fly so fast.
This is a perfect opportunity to catch up on a UFO! Now to decide which one to work on.
I'm also in this sew along and I'm also longing for the friday sew along.
ulla
This is my first Friday Night Sew-in -- I'm looking forward to it! :)
Can't wait! I hope I can ship the kids off to make it a perfect night!
Count me in! I love this idea :)
Oh I just can't wait!!! Gotta go check out what everyone's going to be working on!
Can't wait to join in!
Oh very excited..have several projects to finish! yay!

I'll be getting out my giant UFO bag to see if I can make a dent!
Looking forward to working on the babyquilt that I have on my frame.
I'm looking forward to working on my granddaughter's flower girl dress. Thanks for the incentive!
Yay! I am very excited! This is my first one!
I'm looking forward to getting my Courthouse Steps quilt top all together! It's a good night to make time to sew!
i'm gonna comment for Melissa and for myself - we really, REALLY need a night of sewing!
I'm ready to join in! I need to make another Disappearing 9 Patch before October. This is my first sew in!!
Thrilled to sign up again - I was out on the Friday in July and I really missed it. Planning on making a little surprise for mu daughter. Have a great night.
My first time joining in - planning to work on a project of that I started in a class with Lynette Anderson this week.
Hey there Heidi, how ya doin'? I already have a project picked out. Our MD State Fair is having a special contest, Still Life. First prize is $25.00!! Woo Hoo! I already sketched out my design, just need to make it, so I will be starting on Friday and hopefully have the bulk of it finished by Saturday evening!See ya then!
I can't believe it is time for another Friday night Sew In. I need to get everything organized and ready to go. Maybe I can get a couple of the 18 UFOs off the UFO list.
Excited to get some work done tomorrow night. I hate it when I can't get any sewing done!
Ooh, Friday night sewing with friends, how fun is that? Now, I just have to decide what I'll be working on.
I'm looking forward to do some sewing tomorrow.
Going to try to assemble a quilt top today and tomorrow... I'd better get cutting!
I was a little worried we would still be on vaca and I would miss this month but all's well...I'm in :-)
I posted about it on my blog
I just found this blog. WHat a great idea! I don't blog much, but this just might give me enough motavation to write a new post Saturday!
I am looking forward to Friday.
I'm so happy I can play and no chance work is going to interfere with my crafting this Friday night.
Look forward to seeing what everyone gets up too.
Best get my place sorted so I can play uninterrupted.
Thanks for hosting.
This sew-in snuck up on me! But I have lots of projects to work on.
Ooo...almost missed out! Good thing Mistea reminded me I would have been pouting...right, time to get organised as it is already Friday on this side of the world!
I am soooooo excited! This is my first time participating in a sew-in...I would have missed it, but thanks to the lovely blog of knitmachinequeen! Happy sewing divas!
This will be my first sew in, and I'm excited! It's tonight, so I'd best get ready. I'm going to be working on my very first quilt that I just started two days ago. Wish me luck! LOL!
Whew! I almost forgot to sign in!!! I have everything ready for tonight!!
Is this too late to sign up? My plans got cancelled tonight (yay!) and I can spend an entire evening sewing. Perfect!!!!
I hope I'm not too late to sign up! This will be my first sew-in, and I'm hoping to finish up a maternity blouse I've been working on. Looking forward to it!
I hope I'm not too late! I have to finish a sewing project tonight so it can come on vacation with me tomorrow! Yikes!
This is my first FNSI - can't wait!
Definitely need some public humiliation, I mean motivation to get my mojo jump started tonight. Thanks!
Okay, I'm in... off to upload a "Before" picture to my blog, then sew! Sew like the wind!
I'm doing Friday afternoon sewing! Does that still count?
Gail in Ontario, Canada
Looking forward to this!
OK, this will be my first sew in. I'm looking forward to this! Hmmm, so many UFO's, decisions, decisions....
I've been sewing quite a bit - and am behind on some knitting! So tonight I plan on working on some socks of mine...
Yay! Haven't been in the studio in weeks! I'm excited!
Count me in on the fun!! I have so many UFO's to work on;)
Happy Quilting!!
Sounds like fun! I'll be working on my last summer dress of the season.
Sorry I'm jumping in so late on Friday! But I HAVE been sewing since 12:30 p.m. today. Count me in for the rest of the evening too. Thanks for hosting this!
Just found this this afternoon! I've been sewing today and plan to continue well into the night. Got a lot of blocks to work on.
I did not forget...I just forgot to sign up! YIKES! Must go post about it on my blog, too! I've already been busy sewing, though...whew. Cannot miss FNSI for anything!
Forgot all about signing in. I can't believe what number I am at this month! WOW! Lots of action going on here. I haven't blogged in awhile so just used the FNSI flickr url.
Back to cutting out the fabric!
