FNSI

Hi everyone,

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
