Table runner

Yesterday i finished this cute table runner by Gail. A recent ufo now ticked of my list. :)

Happy Stitching,

A Flimsy.

Towards the end of last year i was busy working on swaps, gifts ect & getting slightly aggravated with myself that none of my ufo's had been worked on again during the year. I decided enough was enough. 2014 was going to be it for ufo's. No swaps except for the private online one. Also there was to be no new projects until everything i had hanging around half done or partly started was finished. Well that didn't last long i have 4 new projects started. :) I also know within my limitations that the tops that are half done or partly cut out will most likely only be flimsies at years end but i'll be happy just to have achieved even that small amount of finish.

January saw little done due to hot weather but the last week was finally cool enough to sit & sew. First top was partly cut out maybe 10 years ago. Early last week i finished cutting out the piece need & i got down to the business of making a top. I finished it Saturday.

1 down & i' don't know how many other things to go. :) lol

Happy Stitching,

Block one completed.....

of A Merry Christmas Garden, Gail Pan's new BOM.

I loved making this block & can't wait for the next one.

Happy Stitching,

FNSI & a finish.

I started my FNSI off early. I prepared the fabrics for Goodnight Irene. A sew a long run by Terry.

Fortunately for me a lot of the 2-1/2" squares had been already cut out. :) Next up was choosing fabrics for Gail's new BOM A Merry Christmas Garden. I had a hard time choosing some of the fabrics. I walked away for a few hours thinking on them & decided that they would work. Means using stash fabric rather than buying any which make me happy.

By night time i was ready to quietly sit & stitch,

I did the embroidery on these from Michele's BOM Fellowship Of The Flowers. They need to have beads & sparkly wool added yet. I'm trying to find sparkly wool similar to what Michele has used . Lastly i moved onto block 6 of Tail Feathers, a BOM put out a few years back by Natalie of Cinderberry Stitches.

& my finish

To sew what the other ladies got up to pop over here  & visit our lovely host.

Happy Stitching,
