I'll be stitching alone, hubby and girls on a scout camp. Not quite decided what to work on but I've got plenty of UFO's to chose from!
I'll be joining in as much as possible. Not sure if I'll get to the sewing machine or just some stitching but I certainly have bubbles in the fridge.

I will be flying solo also, I believe :) ... Am aiming to get my weekend cleaning started on Thursday, finished Friday morning, so I can sew to my hearts content and begin Friday afternoon/evening ... Saturday morning will be taken-up by my daughter's gymnastics and swimming lessons (but I'll probably take along either some stitching or crochet to work on while I wait, lol!), and then back at it Sat evening ... Sun, morning also out coz of church (and yes, can't get out of this week as I'm on Sunday school duty for the littlies), but straight after lunch, I intend to be back at it :D ... Gonna be good!!!
I'm hoping to get a move on with several of my current WIPs - I figure if I have some of them out ready, then I can just work on whatever takes my fancy on the day ;)
I'm in Darwin, and blog at http://craftygodchick.blogspot.com ... though, admittedly I haven't been very good at posting lately - oops!! I'll make sure I put up some progress posts over the weekend :)
Looking forward to it!! I've spent most of the last month either cutting down my scraps into workable sizes/strips, and crocheting doilies lately, so I'm keen to get the machine out to sew on :D
I will be on my own also, but lovely to know there will be lots of others stitching along. I have a quilt for one of the Grandies that needs to be worked on.
I am from just north of Brisbane.

I am hoping to be able to get lots of sewing done this weekend. And I have been severely ignoring my blog so perhaps this will be the "nudge" I need to start posting again!

Sounds like a fabulous weekend of celebrations ahead for you Chooky - unfortunately I won't be able to take part but I look forward to seeing everyone's posts about their celebration!!! Have a great time!!!
I still have that date reserved! As I sew, by myself, and get some borders on 3 tops, my post will be updated throughout the day. I'll leave the bubbly in the fridge, otherwise I can't guarantee how straight my borders will end up! :o) So, it will be tea and coffee and other goodies to munch on.

Getting some FQ and the border bolt! Love that quilt! So what's the occasion? Did I miss something? sox
Seems everyone is going to be partying this weekend so I better join in too. I'm going to sandwich a quilt and start hand quilting it, perfect weather for it as it's a bit chilly in Tasmania. After my trip to the US i have taken a liking to Margaritas so I can't guarantee my stitches will be even :-) You can find me at http://scrapnstitch.blogspot.com

Great!! A international-weekend-sewing party!!
I also love to join this weekend, although there isn't much time to sew.... our new kitchen is coming next monday; the old kitchen was removed last thursday.... we are -kind of- camping in our own home... LOL
But: the sewing still goes on, because I just LOVE to sew.
Currently I'm quilting the Sweet William-quilt; a pattern made by Susan Smith.

Have fun everyone and enjoy your weekend!!
Love from the Netherlands, Ria.
The plans we had for Saturday were put on hold! Quietly there was a Yipeeeeee from me. My first thought was - now I can join Chooky & the girls for the chook shed party.
Happy 2nd Birthday to the chook shed & the lovely Chooky blue xx Can't wait to check out all the stitching that been going on over the weekend. Ann - Central West Australia @ lavenderbluestitches .blogspot.com.au
