FNSI results

I'm sorry this is so late but I got up this morning intending to do my post only to find hubby had left earlier to go to a hot rod breakfast and taken the camera with him so no photos until he came home, then of course not much Internet service so had to wait until now.
As usual I had the idea I would get so many things sewn on Friday night but the time passed in a flash and I only got a couple of the items on my list crossed off.
I am going to do Jenny of Elefantz 'Daisy Days BOM' so I started by tracing out the first two blocks ready to stitch. I am using Scrumptous by Bonnie and Camille so had to choose different thread to what Jenny has used.


Here are the fabrics and threads I will be using.
I also worked on my Tis the Season Chilly Penguin bag. I chose a different stitchery to use, so finished that off before cutting out my hexagons for the bag front. I am using the 1" iron on hexies from Hugs'n'Kisses. This is my first real go at hexies so hope it goes well when I stitch them together. I am using  Nancy Halvorsen fabric from my stash.


My Aiming for Accuracy blocks were next and are going slowly with a bit of unpicking going on. I had the first one done so managed to get Block 2 finished as well. Hope by the time I get to the end I will have mastered getting my seams to match up with no unpicking. Below is block one then block 2. Playing catch up here too with two more to go, and a new one made available each Thursday. Sorry the first two photos are a bit blurry due to my late night photography. Took the last photo with the two blocks today and the colour is much better.



I would like to thank Wendy for hosting FNSI as it always gives you more incentive to get things done when you know you are stitching along with friends.
Well that is all from me tonight. I popped around to visit some other blogs today.  It looks like everyone had a productive night.   Happy Stitching till I see you again...........
