FNSI tonight - why don't you join us?
My project for tonight is this month's Schnibble ISTH from Another Year of Schnibble.
After auditioning several charm packs (note that 3 of those 4 charm packs are Sweetwater - Hometown, Reunion and Sunkissed and that I've a set of Pure hoarded away as well!)....
... I decided to go with Ruby. What yummy colors - I'll go with red and aqua as the colors for the stars.
Happy Stitching!
Second month of SewCalGal's FMQ challenge - this one is feathers. The instructions on the blog are incredibly easy to follow and I just love the way Diane Gaudynski feathers look - they are beautiful.
I took a FQ of a fun sewing print and backed it with some solid blue from the stash. I found this FMQ challenge quite fun to do although it is hard to see the results on the front of this fabric.
Here is the view from the back
Some of them turned out ok although all of then could use much better definition at the top and bottom!
I decided to turn this month's FMQ practice into something useful and am turning it into a dust cover for my sewing machine - just need to add ribbon ties to each side. For the binding, I practiced machine binding.
Happy Stitching!
I finished a small mini quilt this weekend in honor of Valentine's Day.
It incorporated stitching, applique and I even used my newly learned FMQ technique of hearts (or leaves).
It looks great in my kitchen right behind the sink.
Hope you have a wonderful Valentine's Day!
I've linked this finish up to Such a Sew and Sew February 2012 linky party.
Happy Stitching!
