FNSI August.

 I made an early start for FNSI catching up making blocks.

1st up yellow wonky log cabin blocks.

Next block 25 from sewcialites 3
which i posted in the Sewcialites Facebook group only to be told i had a whoopsie. Well darn it. So out came the quick unpick to fix it. Stupid thing is i had laid them all out how they were to be sewn so i really don't know how i got it around the wrong way

Next the Christmas block from Joy's sew along
and left over triangles, getting a nice collection of these now
sampler block also Joy's sew along
time to prep the pears to applique down.
That done it was late afternoon & time to relax with a movie or 2 on Netflix resulting in 4 pears done
A while back i bought 2 zygo cactus & one burst into bloom a week or so ago
the other had flowers forming & i waited patiently to see the colour only to discover they were same as this one. So disappointed as i made sure i had bought 2 different ones. :(. The freesias have been forming flower spikes & one has just opened

Happy Stitching,

Beautiful blocks Jeanette & such an assortment. I would not have noticed your "woopsie" until you mentioned it but I could see it then once you'd said. You will be glad you unpicked it & didn't notice it further down the track. Gorgeous colour cactus. xx

Nice rescue on your wonky block. Love those log cabins.

Lots of beautiful blocks, I am convinced there are fairies in our sewing places who turn blocks around when we are not watching!! The cactus flowers are lovely, ours are in flower at present too. Nice to see the freesias, the scent the garden beautifully.
