Some finishes

I'm in a mini swap that involves cats. Yesterday i finished the required mini
made up a couple of extras
Then i traced out this cute stitchery from Jodie & stitched up last night to add to the swap package. I only trace 1 out. Jodie's pattern has 4 cats in it.

FNSI/Easter sewing March

Didn't get a lot done but i worked on a UFO. Most of the blocks were prepared years ago but for one reason or another put aside. The Adventures of Hannah & Harrington has managed to find it's way to the top of the UFO pile.


Blocks  5, 6 & 7. I did a little secret sewing too which i can't show as it's for a special quilt.

Pop over to our lovely hostess Wendy to find links to see who all joined in the extra long FNSI.

Friday Night With Friends March

My project i chose to work on last night is a UFO. I'm not sure how many years back i started it - maybe 4. It's Tail Feathers by Natalie Lymer.
I finished the applique bird plus the embroidered bird & managed to start the tree block before bedtime. This is set 7. Each large block is made up of 3 small blocks so i've 10 little blocks left & i can't remember if i've done the 4 applique birds for the corners. Time to get this UFO done & dusted though i do have older ones i should be finishing. They are all on my list & i discovered it's a bigger list than i thought.

FNSI - February

My project of choice to work on yesterday was the first 2 blocks from The Splendid Sampler
Hearts All A Flutter by Pat Sloan.
Wings by Jane. I had chosen a range of fat 1/4's for the project but yesterday decided that i would use up my Bonnie & Camille scraps.

Last night i added a few stitches to this
The 9th Brutus. It was a free BOM several years ago by Red Brolly called Catalicious. I only had 3 left to stitch but i just put it aside & never finished it. My aim this year is to get those UFO"s finished. :)

Thankyou Wendy for being our lovely hostess again. Pop over here to find links to who all worked on projects yesterday.

Friday Night With Friends.Jan 2016

I made an early start joining in Friday Night With Friends.. I'd started this little wallhanging Wednesday but gave up in frustration of trying not to have matching colours together. I gave up & finished it with matching colours together.
Next up was some Gingie stitcheries i've had sitting finished for while. My intention was to have it done for Xmas but mojo went on a holiday.
I'd traced out the next stitchery a long while back & started stitching it before Xmas but then put it aside to do some owl stitcheries which was supposed to be my daughter's Xmas present. Well guess what ? The stitcheries were done but that's it. No wallhanging. Now it will this years birthday present. :). But i digress. I picked up the stitchery i had started, finished the embroidery, added beads & yesterday turned it into this.
3 finishes yesterday & 1 earlier this week. Off to a good start for 2016.

After i finished sewing the binding down i made a start on embroidering some little ornaments.
& the finish from earlier this week
Pop over & visit our lovely hostess Cheryll for the links to see what other fabulous projects were worked on last night.
