FNSI December

 I had plans for FNSI but they went out the window so by the time i got to do any stitching it was evening :) Not to worry as i spent the day with the GC's & at least the lawn got mowed before we have more rain. :) :)

What did i stitch? Blocks for Beanie Season by Fig n Berry creations

The first block is done, i only had the beanies to do & the 2nd started. 

I need to trace more out now as that was the last one. The quilt has 40 odd blocks & i only traced about half before i got tired of it. :) AND by more thread. Despite using only one strand & buying a heap of red i'm running out. :(

FNwF December

 A busy day yesterday for FNwF. I started early to make up a kit i've had many, many years. Called Colour & Carry it's a handy bag for littlies for their colouring in books & pencils. Inside is 2 pockets, a large on on one side the other is split into 2.

The binding was hand sewn down in the evening.  Then onto more ladder star blocks. I'm at the half way mark now. I've been through every check/plaid fabric i had so now it's time to start again. I'll have to try not to get the same 2 fabrics together this time so my blocks look all different. :)
After mowing half the lawn, sewing down the binding i really wasn't up to anything strenuous so i grabbed out my hexie diamonds. I finished off the blue one which i'd started on Thursday night, completed another & started on a 3rd before my bed called. :)
