FNSI Progress
I really enjoyed stitching along with Friday Night Sew In last night. Didn't get a lot done but made some progress with my Gail Pan stitchery that I started back in July whilst participating in Quilt Fabric Delights Christmas in July. I am pleased to say that the top has been put together and pinned ready for hand-stitching.
I have been collecting a few two and half inch charm square packs, so I decided to sew 40 of the 42 squares together into a rectangle and make journal covers out of them. The first one is Hometown by Sweetwater and the second one is Garden Party by Blackbird Designs. Just need to quilt the tops, add a lining and a journal to complete.
Well, that's my post for tonight. Now to check out some of the other girl's posts to see their progress. Thanks Heidi and Bobbi for running another great FNSI.
