3 Cats and a Quilter: FNwF November

Yesterday was FNwF & would've been my Dad's 99th birthday so despite feeling quite sad i set to with my sewing.

First up was a ufo. The blocks were stitched in 2019 & then i abandoned it when i got to the borders. Not sure actually when i stitched the borders after that as i can't find any photo's, I did find one in 2022 when i tried ironing on the transfers & that wasn't a success. Anyhoo time to finish it up into a top at least. :)

After a short rest i decided to give one of Bonnie Sullivan's a try. She had recently made a quilt using plaids & checks. Hers is from recycled shirts, mine is from a stash of plaids & checks. Not sure why i have so many. :) But time for them to go. I may have enough to make several quilts. lol

First 2 blocks. I quite after that as i kept making mistakes with the green block & it was the second block & it was getting late. The patterns is called ladder star.

After dinner it was time for hand sewing. I had started a Lucy block on Thursday night

and got this far by the time for bed.

Pop over to our lovely hostess Cheryll to see who joined in to sew last night.

Happy Stitching,
