My Garden Is Growing.

Last night i finished adding the 5th row to Colonial Garden. The white octagons & the green squares were prepared for the 6th row last night so i'll be able to start sewing them tonight. I have a little problem. I'm not sure i can find all the fabrics used in the flowers for the triangle pieces along the edge. Not sure why i never cut them out at the same time as the flower petals. So my thoughts are to use the green in the squares. What do you think?.

Happy Sewing,

FNSI January

It's slow sewing but it's getting there. Last night i finished off the seam adding the 3rd & 4th rows together.

I'm hoping today to prepare more white octagons & green squares for rows 5 & 6.

Pop over to our lovely hostess Wendy's blog to find links to see what everyone worked on last night. 39 ladies joined in last the first FNSI for 2017.

I was really hoping to get to the machine to finish a huge pile of UFO's but frankly it's been to hot to sew. I didn't have any embroidery traced or pre-stamped to work on so i got this Colonial Garden EPP project out again. I'm determined to get it into a top this year.

Last time i had it out i finished off the flower, put 1 row together & started a 2nd. This week i've gotten the 2 rows together, made heaps of white octagons, green squares & have a 3rd row nearly done to add.

That will be tonight's sewing effort.

I started these stitcheries before Christmas but put them aside to finish working on a Christmas stitchery that i'd also started sometime in December. I finished this one last night & the matching one earlier in the week.

Unfortunately despite my precautions the thread ran. :(

FNSI December

I started a new project last night for FNSI. Tried hard not to start anything new but i couldn't resist this cute new pattern by Gail.

When i bought this pattern a little freebie card arrived along with it that had a cute little stitchery on it. This is what i made earlier in the week.

Thankyou Wendy for being a lovely hostess for FNSI. Pop over to Wendy's blog to find the links to see what everyone worked on last night.

During the week i finished the 2 stitcheries that i started for FNwF. Although Pudding Ted is a pillow i'm going to turn it into a mini

I'm thinking a mini for the reindeer too.

FnwF December

Boy did this one come around fast. I think i missed 2016 somehow as it's hard to believe December is here already. Due to a few happenings yesterday i kinda forgot about the sew in until about 3-4 pm yesterday afternoon. Damn there went my sewing plans. Anyhoodle i grabbed out a couple of stitcheries i wanted to start. Got them traced & managed to get a few stitches in.

This cute little reindeer is a freebie on Michelle's blog. Thankyou Michelle. The other stitchery is a kit i bought a few years back & had forgotten about until recently. I was cleaning my patterns, mags & books out & tidying up those i'm keeping & there it was.

Pudding Ted also by Michelle.

Stitching away

Finished this little stitchery for a gift. It's supposed to be a cushion but i'm just going to add borders & staple it to an artists canvas. Before i do that i'll add a row of running stitch & buttons.

Last night i started this stitchery by Fig n Berry

Not sure what's with the photo's. Either a computer issue or a camera issue. Maybe Santa will be nice & bring me a new camera for Christmas. :)
