First FNwF for 2023 hosted by Cheryll. Thankyou Cheryll for having us again this year.
I'm taking part in a doll quilt swap so i started my day early by choosing a pattern & fabrics for it.
All cut out ready to sew. I had to take a break after this as standing on one leg is tiring & painful. :)
Years ago i bought the pattern star a day & some fabric to start it but like everything else put it away for another day. I got it out thinking i'd make a start this year but i haven't enough background fabric. It needs 8 metres. I did consider it as an option for the doll quilt, just making enough for a 20" by 20" quilt. Whislt debating if i will make a years worth of stars & therefore needing 8 metres of background fabric i've made a start & have 2 made. :)
Last night it was back to my embroidery. I'm determined to finish this bom. I think this is block 14 out of 23/24.
I stitched the top of the vine, the side under the vine, the top of the pillar box, the bird & started the girl before trundling off to bed.
Pop over here to see who joined in.
Happy Stitching,1

Your "doll" project will be wonderful... & the embroidery is a cutie.
Thanks for joining in FNwF again in 2023... xox
8 meters! That will be a huge finished quilt. Your stitchery is lovely.
Love coin quilts - I use it all the time for baby quilts now.
I think you can probably go with various backgrounds for your star a day just so you don't need to buy so much!
just looked at your pattern again - well maybe not a mixed backing - but its a lovely pattern!
Your hand embroidery is so pretty! You made the most of your Friday night.
Good progress made on all projects.
Going to be a l9vely doll quilt and the embroidery is sweet xx
That is a lovely stitchery BOM you are working on.
The Doll quilt will be cute.
Sweet stars too.
Nice variety there - Those little stars look so cute. xx
Your doll quilt will be lovely Jeanette. Gosh 8 metres of fabric - that sure is a lot!!! Would be a huge quilt I'm thinking??
That’s a pretty good effort. I think I would be settling for a mini star quilt. That way you have worked on the pattern, but don’t have it hanging over your head.
Pretty. Are those stars hand-sewn?
I saw that pattern and knew I did not have the stamina to do that one. I think 48 is plenty. Sweet embroidery. Time to get all the blocks finished!
