November FNSI Signup is finally HERE!!

You're FIRED!!! Yep.. that's what Bobbi and I should have heard today!

Early this morning, my cohost contacted me and the conversation went something like this..

Bobbi: "Um.. isn't the Friday Night Sew-In in three days?"
Me: "Wait.. what?... YES! What have we done!!"

This Month has went flying by and the FNSI totally snuck up on us! We thought about cancelling - but honestly.. we ALL have too much to do with the Holiday's right around the corner. We just can't cancel!

So here it is.. the signup is here! Get your name on the list and commit to working on those gifts on your To Do list.. or any any other projects that need your attention.

    Can't join in this month (uni assignment!!)... or next (away, no sewing machine, no way of posting achievement...will probably be doing some needleturn applique and/or stitchery though so will be 'with' you in spirit, lol) ... I will, however have a squizzy around at everyone's achievements once this unit is finished.
    Enjoy your night everyone!!!

    My Friday night happens a bit before yours (seeing as I am on the other side of the world in New Zealand) - have actually got training on Friday night for the job I'm going to be doing on the day of our government elections - so will be doing my patchwork on Saturday - so I figure that will be about the same time as your Friday night sew in! Looking forward to quilting a Christmas lap quilt gift and finishing the binding on a brights lap quilt for myself.

I have a few blocks from a stalled BOM that I was doing, I think I'll make some more blocks until I run out of fabric and either have a quilt or a table runner. :) So, just 2 projects tomorrow.
