FNSI November

 Not a lot of sewing yesterday for FNSI. Thanks for hosting us again Wendy.

 I cut out a small bag for my GD for Christmas. Sewed the front panel & added the applique. Then i set about looking where i put a pile of red fat 1/4's when i moved. I came across a pattern this week i really like. I had received them in a birthday swap & had them where i could see them if i found a pattern i liked. So they were packed away but i wasn't sure where i put them. I found them tucked away in a drawer with other red fabrics. Yay. 

Then i decided to move crates around that just got shoved in the room when i moved. Probably wasn't a good idea as i moved the stack the cat uses to get up on the cupboard. She had to jump further when getting down.

Afternoon & time for Netflix & hand sewing. Stitched all the applique  &embroidery

the pattern it comes from is actually a sewing set but i think it's ideal for little girls as a carry bag. 


And a cat shape which i stitched the embroidery to & the applique heart. Needs to be sewn together & stuffed to pop inside the bag.

Pop over to visit Wendy here to find links to who joined in last night.

Happy stitching,

That cat is just so sweet & cute Jeanette. I think your grandaughter will love it!! I have been hunting for missing things too - it does my head in & I seem to make a huge mess while searching 😣 & not always finding!!

 At the start of March i had this pile of blocks. I couldn't get my head around how to turn all these differing block sizes into a quilt...
