Here is what I did for FNSI:
I layered and pin basted this panel that I am going to machine quilt for a dear friend.
This will be a play mat for her new baby nephew. I'm thinking I must find my sunnies to wear while quilting it though. Wow, this one is very bright in person :)
I made a start on a few string blocks, then decided most of my strings are too wide for these blocks that are only 5" square. That will be easy to sort out later.
Then I worked on this stitchery. It's nearly finished and then I will make it into a thread catcher for my Secret Santa swap. It's been fun to stitch and I will be making more of these! Design is by Michelle Ridgway :)
I've been sorting scraps all week and I had a nice stack of 4" squares , so here are some of them started off in pairs. I love a scrappy patchwork quilt most of all. So, that's my FNSI here at the cottage. Hope you had fun too! xx debbie
You were working on lots of lovely things Friday night, I'm with you about the sunnies lol very bright! :) Barb.
