FNwF September

Well i did sign up but didn't make plans. I just hoped for the best. Yes i did get done what should've been done during August - get the binding on 2 quilts. So they'll have to be September finishes now.

On went Human Nature followed by Elvis & i was set for a day of sewing. I spent several hours making binding
1st up was the Churn Dash quilt, this was put together back in 2014

Next quilt was the red & black star quilt. I think i put this together 2 years ago.

Then last night, accompanied by Star Trek Voyager, i hand stitched the binding down. So happy 2 of the nearly 20 flimsies are now done & dusted.

Pop over to lovely hostess Cheryll to find the links for who joined last night to see what projects they worked on.

Happy Stitching,

More EPP.

Prep for month 7 Icecream Soda blocks was started this week.
 I've made 4 of the 8
& started number 5.

The next hexie in 100 hexies 100 days
As i've been making the hexies for 100 days of hexies i remembered that i wanted to start making some up for a hexie star quilt. Here is the first 10
Now I've just got to make a start on the equilateral triangles that join them.

Day 11 hexies &
 Day 12 of hexies. Bella has been very helpful this week by assisting me sewing row 7 on Purplicious Mischief,  cutting out backing fabric & being a hexie display stand. 😄😄.

Just so you know i haven't been just working on my EPP projects I've been stitching this on & off for a while.

Happy stitching,

My week so far

Some fabrics arrived yesterday so i prepped a few coffins. As i was trying to get a decent shot i was photobombed
I've joined in making 100 hexies in 100 days. I had a lot of hexies cut out & left over from when i was making the Vignette Hexagon Quilt. I now have a good excuse to get them made up & turned into something. Here is the first 7

Its already up to day 9 so i made the next 2 today.

More fabrics for my coffins arrived today so i spent a lovely afternoon prepping them
I totalled these with the ones from yesterday & last Friday & they came to 154. My overall total is now at 645.

Happy stitching,

FNSI August

I make plans but as usual they get thrown out the window. So next month maybe i won't sign up for the sew-ins or make plans. :). lol. I had wanted to get binding made for a quilt i recently had quilted but my daughter asked me to watch the youngest GS for a few hours. Sew what did i do for FNSI? I cut out more fabrics for my Coffin quilt.
Turned them into 70 more coffins
The inner ring are from fabrics swapped with me & the outer from my own fabric collection. Next up after the GS went home was to work on Purplicious Mischief. I added these last 3 blocks to row 7
Then i managed to make a start to adding that row to the top.
Only 1 block was connected before bed called me.

Thankyou Wendy for being a fabulous hostess again. Pop over here to find links to see what projects were worked on by  everyone who joined in FNSI.
