Friday Night Sew In.....

Ta muchly Madame Wendy for hosting FNSI.....

I went to my fortnightly sew in with the gals so it was fun to cyber and reality sew with friends ...

The evening started with a glass of one's choice and some nibblies and I got straight to work on my binding.....



sewed and sewed and chatted and listened till it was time for tea... and a snack....


It was a very productive few hours (must have been fortified by the snacks!!) and here is my finished Scrappy Trip Around the World....


This is the second of these that I have made.... and I use any colour strips ... very scrappy and lack of colour coordination....


... this was made using Bonnie Hunters Tutorial found HERE....


The backing is a recycled doona (duvet) cover which I love.... and I quilted in each block in the orange peel style....

(easier to see it from the back)


Righto, Gotto Go... I'm off HERE to see what others did ..

    Fiona, if you serve snacks like that everyone will want to keep you company on Friday nights! Love your scrappy trip, it's just the thing I want to use up some of my "whatever was I thinking when I bought this" fabrics.

    Scrap quilts are lovely. All those memories and stories in each little bit of fabric. And they are SO useful.
