Monday following FNSI

I enjoyed cutting the remaining slices of the Christmas Tree skirt. I started earlier in the day to make sure I was joining others. The colours are not true, more grey and cream. Hopefully it will go with their colour scheme. I also found some calico for the backing.

Sewing with my Singer 222 is always fun, the stitches are so neat.
Now to catch up with blogs. I wish I could remember how to add links to Wendy the lovely hostess of FNSI.

FNSI Two Weeks in a Row

I've still got a few blogs to visit and a few comments to reply to but the good news is I found my camera. Not particularly well hidden, just me not seeing. I have retaken the robin.

I didn't retake the hexagons as I've changed my mind, having laid out my choices. So on with a different project this evening. After doing the boring ironing after tea, I ironed the fabrics for a Christmas tree skirt for my son and his family. I found I had not cut out as much as I'd thought. So the rotary cutter will be my friend.

Friday Night With Friends

Well I did baste a lot of hexies for the outer ring of my first rosette from the Millefiore quilt. I can not find my camera, it is in the house I'm sure.

So just a very, very blurred photo from my ipad.

Earlier this year I was lucky enough to take a class with Shirley Bloomfield at a Traditional Quilters weekend retreat. We started a Robin Wreath needle turn applique. I have worked on it over the summer and now it is ready for quilting.

Again very blurred, although it looked fine on the ipad.

Shirley was an excellent teacher, very positive and encouraging.

Now I have time ( just back from my allotment) to see what everyone else was sewing, then I must find my camera.

A big thank you to Wendy at Sugarlane Designs for hosting a lovely time to sew with others around the world.
