At FNwF

After spending a lovely few hours enjoying Music at the Podium... 
on a beautiful evening with a good band, family, food & a few drinks...

I returned home & made a block in YeLLoW for So Scrappy's RSC 2021...

I used my Fiskars 8 inch rotating cutting mat and a 2 1/2 inch bloc loc ruler while making the HST & realised that I LoVe using them both, as it makes those pesky little blocks extremely easy to square up.

There were 21 of us all virtually together last night...
I hope you all enjoyed a night of sewing or stitching or whatever craft you chose.
I'll be over to visit your blog sometime over the weekend...

ALSO: Linked to RSC2021 ...

    Your yellow block looks lovely. I did hand applique on an Ella block while watching a movie.

    Lovely block, I did some stitching but it is for a group of Needlecraft Haven and I am not sure if I can show it on my blog yet.

    I have been promising myself a rotating mat for a while now, must make life so much easier. Your yellow block is great. xx

    Sounds like a great day Cheryll, nice that you were able to do both sewing and socialising :-) I've never used a block-lock ruler but I have heard good things about them. A great choice of block for your RSC. Two small children here for the weekend meant no sewing time for me but maybe next time!!

    How lovely to attend a live event. Looks like a gorgeous setting.
    The yellow block is so sunny! Lovely and bright.
    I am only just discovering the bloc loc accessories. Borrowed one recently and love it.

    Sweet blocks, Cheryll! They look so sunny & cheerful. I wouldn't have been able to make such perfectly pointed HSTs after day in the sun. Lol!

    Thanks for the warm welcome back to blogland! I did actually join in for the Friday night stitching, but I seem to be a little lacking in IT skills as coming back to my blog I no longer seem to be able to reply to comments, have a spam comment that continues to show up on every post even though I've marked it as spam and when checking my blog posts I see gobbly goop ..... so trying to work it out - meantime getting soem stitching done & love your blocks!! Also looks like a fun night

    Your little frame is such a nice way to draw the little yellow blocks together as a group.

    What a lovely way to spend the evening - on both fronts. Aren't those little rotating mats the best. I think mine is one of my favourite quilting tools, although I don't use block lock rulers, as I press my HSTs open. The block looks great.

    Yellow is such a bright and happy color, isn't it? The Music at the podium looks so fun! I am going to have to try the rotating cutting mat again. For some reason when I bought mine I think I tried it once and hated it so I gave it to my Sis, who LOVES it! Go figure.....
