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. :)

Pop over here to visit our hostess Cheryll.

Happy Stitching,

Love the colour and carry bag Jeanette - what a great idea for a gift. I am working on a kitset too - sometimes its good to have everything there & not have to decide on colours etc. xx

The color and carry is a great project and would make a nice gift for a little one. You had quite a productive Friday, both in and out of the sewing room.
