Boy oh boy... January has FLOWN by this year! Bobbi and I were just talking and can't believe that the next FNSI is just days away!!
We are so ready for the Sew-In this coming Friday!
So if you are as excited as Bobbi and I and want to participate in the Friday Night Sew-in this month.. add your name to the list below!
If you are new and need to know how it works.. here are the details:
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 – 01/21/2011 - Get your house settled, put on your comfy jammies.. maybe make a cup of tea or pour a glass of wine.. 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 01/22, we will enter all participants into a drawing for the GIVEAWAY!! Bobbi will be drawing the winner this month and sending the lucky person a box of goodies!

Number 2? Wow, usually i'm like one of the last to sign up!
For once I have tons of projects to work on, and tons of inspiration to work from!
YAY!
Hurray! I was hoping you'd bring the FNSI back! Count me in - I've got LOADS of projects to work on this year :)
I've never tried a FNSI but I was determined to do so this year-- so here goes! Hopefully by Saturday I will figure out the link to Flickr part!
I'm in :-). I've got a 3 of my 5 January goals left to do still, so I've got plenty to keep me occupied.
This will be first FNSI. I'm looking forward to it.
Can't wait! Already told the husband he has the kids for the night.
Count me in! I really need to get my signature stars done. I have all the fabrics cut out - just need to get them together!! That's my plan for Friday!
woooohoooo sewing in
Hooray! I was waiting for you guys to post this! I'm actually hosting a LIVE FNSI this month!! You're helping me get back in touch with old friends!
Oh yay, I've been organising my to-do's into bagged lots so I can just grab and sew.
I'll be ready!
This is all new for me but I think it should be fun. Might even give me a boost to get going on one of my many projects waiting for me.
I'm not sure how I'm supposed to post something on my blog about it?
I signed up but I doubt I will do much sewing as it is my birthday. Maybe I'll get a little in.
I so hope this will work. I'll have to rent my older boys a video and pray that the babe will be happy! I can't wait to sew something!!!!
I love FNSI! It holds me accountable, something I desperately need. :o)
Hi Heidi,
I'd love to join. I will add myself through Mister Linky in a few days if I can get my blog header to work. Right now, only half of it shows up. Ugh. I did join FNSI on Flickr as a back-up. But would rather also roll out a new blog :>) Will try! Sounds like FNSI is great fun!
I missed the December ones so I'm looking forward to this :)
I need something to hold my feet to the fire and finish up the current quilt top project... even tho I'll have to work Saturday morning b/c it's a snow make-up day.
I've got so much to sew and quilt before the big sale at my LQS on Super Bowl Sunday:)) That is the only way I can justify what I want to buy...so I'll be sewing and quilting all day Friday!
I have joined you one time before and I enjoyed setting that time aside just to sew. I have a project that I am hoping to get done this week, so I will get ready to sew!
Yay! This works out perfectly -- my DH is on shift, so it will make a GREAT sew-in night! :)
Looking forward to it!!
I love FNSI. I always get so much done!
I am ready! I've got some FMQ lined up and the wine chilling!
Can't wait!
Yay! Can't wait to get some sewing time!
I so enjoyed the last FNSI! It got me back in the mood of sewing! Thank you both for your inspiration!
From Janet
Yeah! I am glad that FNSI is here. I have several things to get completed and off the cutting table. It is going to be slow cooker day for me so I can get out of the kitchen early.
So I promise I will actually get something done this time :) Pregnancy has been getting the better of me for a few months but I really want to work on some unfinished projects after I moved my sewing room from what is going to be the baby's room this week.
So glad to have AnOtHeR excuse to go sewing!!! yeh !!! :)
It seems like it has been a long time. I'm looking forward to Friday.
The best part about FNSI is that I get motivated to finish at least one project. I have a bunch of Bee blocks that i really need to get done.
Thanks for hosting this. :)
I read about your sew-ins last month. I really wanted to join you; but, because I was delivering the newspaper at 2:00 in the morning, bedtime was 7:00 pm. I no longer work that job.
I get to join you this month. I'm so excited. I just had my machine repaired. I don't even know what I'm going to work on yet. I guess I have a couple of days to figure it out.
God bless you all!
Laura
This will be my first Friday Night Sew In. I'll be cross-stitching!
Hooray for FNS!
Looking forward to a productive evening!
Oh Goodie!
YAY for FNSI!!
I am number46, wish that was my age. I'm looking forward to sewing with everyone on Friday!
I happened on your blog and thought what a great way to get a couple of UFO's finished! This sounds like a lot of fun.
Looking forward to FNSI. I'll be working on my to do list - a sampler quilt that needs quilting! I've done 4 out of 20 blocks so far so roll on FNSI. I must try not to get chocolate on the fabric though.
It's a new year. Time to get back into the swing of things. Happy sewing.
Looking forward to Friday.
I am really looking forward to this sew in. I will be over at my BFF's place for the day and part of the evening. Thanks for hosting!!
Looking forward to accomplishing LOTS of stitching with my BFF...Mama Spark.....
I kept seeing people posting about the FNSI and kept checking your blog - nothing! It must have crept by me!!
Excited to have FNSI back again! I have two or three big ideas that could use some attention for sure!
So excited to be doing this again!!!
I always look forward to FNSI! It is so much fun to know that others are sewing along with me.
My project this month is to finish the Penguin quilt top for my coworker. I plan on tieing it rather than quilting it.
If there is time after that I need to make a vest to celebrate Valentines Day.

I'm primarily a cross stitcher but i'm going to join in and make Friday nights time with my sewing machine. I've had a quilt sitting partly done in my sewing box for a few months now.
I haven't done a FNSI for some time now. I have a bag I need to work on a bag for a flickr group. http://www.flickr.com/groups/ss2011/
We are doing an Amy Butler Style Stitches Challenge.
I can't believe this snuck up on me this month! I need to pay better attention!
It's been awhile, so I'm up for it again! I've missed it!! :)
Hi there
I have heard about this group and I am really excited to join you all.
i'm commenting for Melissa and for me - we're both on!
Yeah! I cant wait til friday. My dd is staying the night with a friend so i'm takin over her room. It's warmer than my sewing room. Been washing fabric to prepare. Cant wait.
To quote my son's fav TV character SpongeBob, "I'm ready, I'm ready, I'm ready....."
Can you tell what we've watched TOO much of lately?
Yes, I am gathering UFO's. So a Friday night sew-in is what I need. Count me in!
My December plans fell through with unexpected company and events :( So, this Friday is ON!! I'll be sewing all night! Need some chocolate!
Just what I need, some motivation to finish those bits and pieces!
I love knowing that others are stitching with me. tysm for hosting this.

I finally got to working on some sewing this week. I'll be sewing some more on Friday. Just in time to join in!!
Yay! A sewing evening and a nice treat to end the week. Here's hoping for enough energy Friday to sew. I have lots of UFOs to finish so I have lots to choose from.
Think I'll give this a try, maybe I can get a little quilting done:)

I'm definately ready for some FNS ... just posting about it on my blog now.
I plan to make Christmas gifts during FNSI each month this year. Thanks!
Looking forward to catching up on some projects.
Lots of UFO's to work on this time. I'm hoping to have a stack of finished projects by the end of the night!
Yeah! FNSI I can't wait, I have plenty to do, let's see what I work on :)
So much to sew. This will give me a kick start on a Friday night.
Super excited for another Friday night sew in!
Oh boy! What shall i work on this time?? I have plenty of options!
So excited, I'm not going to miss this month. And thankfully for you I have learned how to cut and paste the URL! Can't wait till Friday.
Oh boy, finally a Friday night I can play along! I've wanted to participate for a while, but always had something else going on. But not this week! I have lots of projects to work on.
What a great idea! No more excuses for having my projects sitting around, undone :)
I'll be posting about this tonight. Thank you!
Am so looking forward to my first FNSI.
I have a few things to work on Friday night. I can't wait to start! This will be my first FNSI.
Quiltingly Yours

There must have been a lot of resolving to join FNSI--I'm number 100! Friday night is the first meeting of a quilt class for me--so I know I'll be sewing.
I couldn't wait to join this year...My Homie, Suzan from The Reluctant Quilter suggested I join. I don't know what I will be working on yet, but I am excited none the same!!
Fun! Friday is the start of my UFO group's weekend anyway, and the night I usually chat with my stitching buddies. Now I can add more fun to the mix!
This will be my first FNSI. I'm excited as I have lots of UFO's needing finishing.
Need this really bad!!! i have not been in my sewing room except to drop stuff off for almost 3 weeks!!!!
I'm so excited to join in!
I was planning to sew anyway. What a great way to spend a cold winter night!
I'll be working on my grandson's blessing outfit.
I have never done a Friday Night Sew-in before, but I was determined to this year! I have one very important project that I must finish soon, so that's what I'll be working on! Thanks for hosting!
Thanks ladies for hosting...
I'm in! I haven't done a Friday Night Sew-in in forever so I can't wait!
Oh thank you for hosting. It's always fun to do the Friday Night Sew-in!
I hope to work on and finish some of my UFO's. FNSI is a good motivator for me.
I am really looking forward to sewing with everyone on Friday night!
Now this is an idea whose time has arrived! thanks for getting this together! see you all tomorrow night! ktj
First time for me. I am so excited! I am going to make some pillowcases!
Want to thank you for hosting these sew ins. I sign up I forget to post about it the next day or so. I don't sign up and I post!. I am going to get it in the right order some day. lol Thanks again!
I'm a first timer, but anxious to sew with you all! Thank you! I've sandwiched a quilt tonight and hope to start the quilting tomorrow!
Geeze, how did I miss the post about the sew-in? Oh well, better late than never.
Wow! I can't believe how long this list is becoming. It's fantastic--think of all the creative energy that will be flying around the atmosphere when we all start quilting Friday night!
I'll participate in this great idea again - so count me in!
I am so excited, this is the first time for me to join. I guess I kept getting jealous of Kim and Gran having so much fun, so I am in!! Hugs!!
Pam

Perfect idea to get me back in the groove after the holidays! Thanks!
I will be joining you tonight - first time for me on the official "Friday Night Sew In".
First time joiner! I can't wait!
I'm going to be working on a cross stitch project, Snow House, from the Anniverseries of the Heart by Blackbird Designs. Maybe I'll sew a pillowcase, too. This time, I'm planning to actually take a picture of my work to show all of you!
Yay! I've already told husband that I'll be in FNSI tonight. And I have 2 projects on the docket!
Hello,...almost forgot to sign up... BUT I'm in tonight!!! I'll spend my evening with 'MON AMI'. See you on Saturday on my blog;)
This is the push I need every month (could you turn it up a notch to a swift kick in the pants every month?!?!?) to make some progress on my pile o projects!!! (as in last year's Christmas stuff....sheesh!!!:)
I will be joining you for my first Friday Night Sew-In. I'm looking forward to it.
Thank you for organizing this.

This is my 2nd Sew-In, and I'm hoping to get a lot done on my postage stamp quilt-along. I need lots of strips cut tonight and sewn for blocks before Monday. Thanks for the Sew-In.
This will be my very first sew-in and I'm excited. I've only committed myself to do two things tonight. Frankly I'd be happy to accomplish one of them before I fall asleep at the sewing machine. LOL Looking forward to seeing what everyone will be working on.
I'm ready to sew!
150 that going to be the lucky number right? I see a lot of my friends are sign in so this is my first offical sign up, normally I just do it in my head! cw
Nearly forgot to sign up! Woo Hoo!! Can't wait to get home - turn on my HEATER next to my sewing machine -and SEW SEW SEW (low of like 4 tonight here!)
Yesterday I counted my UFOs and PIGS and realize I really need to be participating tonight. It will be fun to read about what others accomplish.
I cleaned up my sewing room and will be working on a new quilt for my eldest daughter.
This is my first ever FNSI! I can't wait!
This is my first FNSI. This will be lots of fun.
I have been looking forward to one. I am so excited!
Woo-hoo! I have a list of projects to sort out, so it will be a good, good night!
I am so excited - this will be my first Fri Night Sew In. I have everything ready to go. I just need to figure out how to get the FNSI blog button on my blog????
I am a bit late in joining. But I am here!
I was sure I had signed up a few days ago, but couldn't find my name...so signed up again...and then found my name. oops!

Woot! Took me three sew-ins to actually get my results post up on Saturday itself lol.
Yay! This is like Weight Watchers for Quilters. I love it and I am so glad I stumbled upon your blog. I need the kick in the pants to destash and complete UFOs.
