Thanks Wendy for hosting FNSI..... always fun to sew with others even if it is distantly...
I started this next block for "From the Heart" on Thursday so continued with the needleturn on Friday night whilst watching Vera on TV ......
I am now this far, still a fair bit to do... a couple more nights and it should be done...
I carried on with pressing and trimming the HST's today and have 4 coordinated piles.... I will get 40 pinwheel blocks out of these - I will need to add some plain fabrics to makes something that is a more useful size.....
There is an odd feeling of accomplishment having a nice little pile of trimmings!!!
Righto, Gotto Go.... I'll keep going with that needleturn.... and pop over to other blogs and see what the other FNSI'ers did.....
Enjoy the rest of your weekend...
Pretty fabrics in those HST's. I am also a "Vera" fan.
ReplyDeleteWell done on all that trimming.....always the most tedious part!
ReplyDeleteThe needle turn looks very fiddly but a lovely result although I´m not quite sure how you watch the telly at the same time lol. xcx
ReplyDeleteI'm in love with the pattern you're working on. That is so cute. I'm intrigued by your little HST. What will you do with them? Looking forward to seeing more. Enjoy! ;^)
ReplyDeleteLovely bird house - you are churning through that one too.
ReplyDeleteBusy, busy! I agree, you have to love trimmings
ReplyDeleteGreat birdhouse block and a nice pile of sweet HSTs....
ReplyDeleteReally pretty applique project.
ReplyDeleteYour needleturn is beautiful Fiona but looks fiddly to me. I am unsure what HST's are but they look such pretty fabrics. xx
ReplyDeleteLove your applique block. Looking forward to seeing it when it is completed.
ReplyDeleteYour needleturn block is looking gorgeous Fiona and very satisfying to have a pile of neat HST's and a pile of trimmings. xx
ReplyDeleteThe From the Heart block is lovely - the fabrics you are using suit it so well. Well done on the prep work for all the pinwheels - a nice pile of trimmings always makes me happy too!
ReplyDeleteLove your applique block. Nice patient work on all the trimmed HST's.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful applique block Fiona , well done trimming all those blocks.
ReplyDeleteA few HSTs at a time is all I can handle trimming! But it is fun to see the little scraps piling up :)
ReplyDeleteLovely...and then I wonder what to do with the trimmings instead of throwing them out 😁
ReplyDeleteThe HSTs are very pretty. They will make a lovely small quilt.
ReplyDeleteThat certainly is CuTe...xox
