Well - the votes are in! We will be having TWO Friday Night Sew-in's this month. This first one will be December 10th (the next will be December 17th).
We all have a long "To Do" list of projects that need our attention. Let's get all those gifts made, wrapped and under the tree!
So if you are excited and want to participate in the Friday Night Sew-in this month.. 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 – 12/10/10 - 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.
4. Then, sometime on Saturday - publish a post about what you worked on.. show us a picture or two on Flickr. There is a FNSI group on Flickr if you haven't already joined. Totally optional.
And finally - on Sunday 12/12, we will enter all participants into a drawing for the GIVEAWAY!!
This is the sign up for DECEMBER 10th (Dec 17th coming soon)
This is such a busy month but of course, we still have to sew! Count me in. I hope you all have a wonderful month and a marvelous holiday season!
ReplyDeleteBTW, when is the second sew in cause the poll is definitely saying yes! Come on, you can tell us!
ReplyDeleteI'm looking forward to it. I'm determined to let nothing get in my way this month, as I've got Christmas presents to finish (okay, start :-))
ReplyDeleteOh Heidi it's late and I made a boob boo. Can you please delete my e-mail address and just put in Maria. I am no 8.I tried and it would not work. thanks.
ReplyDeleteJust returned from Patch Christmas Dinner and I am tired. LOL
I'll be joining in. On both nights!
ReplyDeleteI've got some Christmas fabric postcards to finish so may still be doing those on 10th and then on the 17th I hope I'll be doing something non-festive but we'll see! Thanks for hosting two FNSIs this month, this could become a habit :)
ReplyDeleteI have so much to do! My daughter has a basketball tournament next week, so hopefully one of the games won't be scheduled for Friday night! I'm excited to have 2 FNSIs! Thanks so much!
ReplyDeleteCount me in again this month! November's was WAY successful for me (Quiltville's Mystery quilt, all of Step 1, YAY!!!), and looking forward to two in December!
ReplyDeleteBlessings,
Mary Lou
It's my first sew-in, and I have a lot to get done. Hopefully I'll finish a quilt for a little guy I babysit, and baste another quilt for my own little guy. I have another quilt top in the works for my mom, shhhh, it's a secret!
ReplyDeleteHooray for FNSI! I love the extra motivation I have on those nights :-)
ReplyDeleteI'm planning to sign up for both nights. Hopefully I'll be able to get everything done, that way!

Okay, I'm in! December 17 is the last day of school before Christmas break, so surely I can put aside the marking and sew for a while!
ReplyDeleteI have to work at the senior's Christmas dinner that night but I'll do my sewing in the afternoon while I'm cooking the turkey and ham :)
ReplyDeleteI'll be sewing! Thanks Heidi!
ReplyDeleteYay!!!!
ReplyDeleteWOO HOO!! I'm in and excited! Will post in my blog tomorrow....btw, made your oreos and they were such a hit here at home and at work! Thanks!
ReplyDeleteI'm SEW in. I need all the time I can steal this month.
ReplyDeleteHi, I've put my name down and try not to forget this time around.
ReplyDeleteI am looking forward to locking myself in my sewing room and working on some projects! I have gifts to start! Please count me in both nights!
ReplyDeleteI'm going to do this for sure! I have a few projects I want to complete before Xmas. This will encourage me to set aside the time.
ReplyDeleteThis is my first official join in on anything blog-land-wise. I have zero followers on my blog, but I will post a blurb just the same! :o) I am excited to be a part of this community of crafters.
ReplyDeleteI am looking forward to next Friday! Will have to start after a preschool Christmas program but still hope to cross some things off the list!
ReplyDeleteI'll be making my list and checking it twice!
ReplyDeleteSounds good to me...will need the uninterupted time to finish some gifties!
ReplyDeleteI'm looking forward to it!
ReplyDeleteSew much to do. Sew little time. Count me in!
ReplyDeleteI think I'm in for both dates! I have a lot to finish and am starting to panic!
ReplyDeleteI'm sewing as well--a project that's been plaguing me for over a year. Do we come back to this linky list to view the results?
ReplyDeleteThanks Heidi, this will be a challenge to get some sewing done before christmas, but i have been putting off the FMQ, as im a scaredy cat! no excuses now!
ReplyDeleteThis time I can take a photo before the present has to be delivered. I think I'd better finish my first ever quilt for a start!
ReplyDeleteI'm here again. I hope I do better than last month when I sewed heaps but didn't get to blog it.
ReplyDeletewhat a good idea having two FNSI as I've got so many presents to finish! The biggest problem at the moment is coping with the heat - sorry to all those starting their cold winter, our summer in New Zealand has arrived early!
ReplyDeleteyes I'm in! I'm taking the two afternoons (10th and 17th) off work too to make it an extra long sew in!
ReplyDeleteThe timing works out beautifully! On the 10th I'll be participating in the Thimble Pleasures 9 Patch Challenge assembly party. And am inspired to continue on the 17th.
ReplyDeleteI will join in on both nights...I have done some tonight ...its up on my blog. 1.22am - and I am off to bed!
ReplyDeleteCan hardly wait! I need another night set aside just for quilting.
ReplyDeleteFinally...high speed to post pics and incentive to complete a couple sewing projects :-)
ReplyDeletei'm in!
ReplyDeleteI am so excited!!! I need this extra time designated so I thank you because I would not be motivated unless I knew you all were doing it with me!!! Thanks
ReplyDeleteI'm in for the first one at least. Still have a few thing to finish off so FNSI will help! :)
ReplyDeleteI'm in :0)
ReplyDeleteDouble the fun, I signed up.
ReplyDeleteYippy Skippy! I need to sew a few small items for a charity auction on the 15th. I'm in :) Thanks for doing this. :)
ReplyDeleteHooray for two days! My quilt isn't for the holidays, but I can't wait to get some more work done on it.
ReplyDeleteI HAVE JOINED THE SEW-IN BUT I TRIED TO POST PICS LAST MONTH AND THEY DIDNT GO THROUGH. HAPPY SEWING AND QUILTING EVERYONE
ReplyDeleteoh goodie! I love my FRNS's...and 2 in one month...awesome! I am so in need of specific time to sit and sew. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteTotally missed the last one....I guess I need reminders. Sometimes life just gets in the way. I hope to make this month's.
ReplyDeleteI am finally back, and excited about Friday night! My best friend is coming for the weekend and we will be sewing Friday night and Saturday all day long!
ReplyDeleteWould love to join in the fun so I put these dates on my calendar to remind myself. How fun to be sewing with so many others around the country/world!
ReplyDeleteWoohoo, two FNSIs! Hope I can make it to both.
ReplyDeleteYEAH! Two sew ins... Definitely need them to get my projects done
ReplyDeleteHi, I have actually joined this site about a month ago and I just noticed that my name wasn't on the list. Do I need to rejoin each week.

ReplyDeleteCan't wait. Now to figure out what I am sewing.
ReplyDeleteI know I should have done other things on Friday, but I'll give the sewing priority. I can't join you on Dec. 17th, so this is my opportunity to finish a quilt.
ReplyDeleteThanks for hosting these Friday Nights Sew-In
Just the additional motivation I need to get my homework done for my quilting class and make a serious start on the Xmas quilt

ReplyDeleteOh I hope I can do this one. We are suppose to be going out for dinner but I can still sew once we get back. . . .right?
ReplyDeleteI will be sewing for sure. I have so many projects to finish that I may STILL be sewing on Saturday night!

ReplyDeleteBarb
I wasn't sure I would be able to participate tonight so I put off linking up, but I am going to give it a shot. Otherwise I am going to be even more behind in Christmas gifts!
ReplyDeleteI'll be joining the party tonight! I have some items I need to sew for a local women's shelter.
ReplyDeleteI have been trying to go on the list for 10th December - but for some strange reason it wont let me.
