His party was yesterday and the weather cooperated. He wanted to have a kickball game with a bunch of his friends and then just run around and play. A perfect birthday for a 10 year old.
I was so tired after the cleaning, planning and hosting of a birthday party that I almost forgot that it was the Friday Night Sew In. I enjoyed spending a couple hours cutting and sewing. Here is the fabric for a swap that I am in. It is a red/aqua swap of 3.5 by 6.5 bricks. So I cut my bricks from this fabric.
My favorite is the little hedgehogs.Next I pulled out the bags from a No Sew Swap that I had done. I was in a pink green white group. I haven't sewn them together yet because everyone had a different idea of pink green and even white. I put them on my design wall and replaced colors till I had blocks I liked.
I broke a needle and was half done with one. I only have 8 right now, I will either put a sashing and a border around these eight or I will come up with a ninth.And last but not least I sewed on the binding of this quilt. One more too the finish pile as soon as I decide on a name and put it on the label.
Well as I look back I really did get a lot done.

Hey birthday boy, welcome to the two digits!
I haven't played with my no sew blocks yet... Gotta get through the the other UFOs.
I'm exhausted looking at all you have done! Great job!
Happy Birthday to the B-Day boy!!
I think you got a ton done!!! I love the pink and green blocks....you just need a ninth block....I love the red and aqua combo too, it is so pretty!
I did the Friday nite sew in for the first time last night...it helped me get motivated!
You REALLY got a lot done. Way to go!
I'm impressed with how much you got done after a bithday party! I would probably have spent the evening with my feet up...
You did get a lot done. I find cutting fabric as very tedious and I'm always glad to get it done.
