Friday Night Sewing, Brisbane Hot Rod Show, Christmas in July Swap.

Last night I joined FNWF and this is what I managed to get done.
I have had this small kit for quite a few years so decided it was about time I made it up. The photo on the left are the 2" strips I cut out and stitched together to make the background. On the right is a photo of how the finished wall hanging should look and in the bottom photo are all the blocks cut from the panel ready to be stitched to the background. I was on a bit of a roll but couldn't have a late night as I had to be up early this morning for a trip to the Brisbane Hot Rod Show with Chris.  I was still pleased with the start I made.
Here are a few photos from the show.  Chris seemed to be keen on the orange cars today and took quite a few photos of them. Our new car will most likely be red but not too many red ones entered.

Also this week I joined Cheryll's Christmas in July Swap so go here to read about it and if you would like to sign up you can do so by leaving a comment on her blog post. Cheryll's swaps are always great fun and it is a great way of meeting other people who like to blog and have similar interests.
Well, now I am going to check out what other people got up to last night.  Have a wonderful weekend.  Hugs..........
