FNwF May


 Last night i joined in with Cheryll & friends for some sewing. I haven't felt like crafting lately, what i dod is in dribs & drabs. I had planned on starting early & getting some ufo's done but as usual my mojo had deserted me.

Going through my box of prepped projects a couple of weeks or so back i had pulled out 5 blocks from a quilt from many years ago. It was made up of 12 blocks by various designers. I didn't want all the blocks so only bought the 5. I  have been slowly stitching them for the last 2 to 3 weeks. When i had counted the blocks & realised i only had 5 & that wasn't a good number for a quilt I've been thinking on what to do with them. Do i makea series of small hangings or add 4 pieced blocks & make a large hanging. Fortunately i still have some Bonnie & Camille fabrics that i can use in whatever i decide. The blocks i bought were all kits using their fabric.

Anyway the block i stitched last night was from Natalie Bird of The Birdhouse


When finished it has a cute green peeper border then surrounded by hexagons appliqued to the background.

Pop over to Cheryll's blog to find links to who joined in last night

Happy Stitching

What a cute project! I think it would be nice to add 4 blocks and make a small quilt with them.

At least you achieved something on the night. Such a cute elephant. Thinking about and planning a project is also a good use of the evening.

5 is such a bad number!!! you could try a small thing using 4 and the extra could be a bag or sewing folder or cushion . .???

Oh that little block you are stitching is just beautiful Jeanette. I find my crafting mojo frequently goes missing for awhile ... we just have to wait sometimes for it to return. xx
