Thanks Wendy for having us for FNSI ..... always fun....
I did some chain piecing on Friday afternoon..... I had 'scrap' HST's that I had made into pinwheels a week or so ago....
Purchased some shocking pink .....
In the evening I did some needle-turn applique on this next block for Civil War Bride... there will be a bird in those branches....
Over the weekend I put all the blocks together......
It's very pink..... not sure I really like it... but someone will....
There was one block left.... so it will become a mug rug one day.....
I have made the binding in the same pink and made some light blue to become a peeper under the binding... will add that once the quilting is done....
Meanwhile ... it has gone into that ever growing quilting queue..... but I am please one more bundle of coordinating scraps has been used up....
My lemon tree has given me 2 lemons this year but a friend gave me a bunch the other day....
There are loads of recipes on the internet.... of course I can't find the one I used but they all look similar!
Righto, Gotto Go...... it's a new week and there are things to be done!! First I'm off HERE to see what others got up to...
Have a lovely week whatever you are doing.... stay safe, stay smiling and stay sewing (or whatever)....

Lemon drizzle cake is one of my faves. Enjoy your week :)
Yumm lemon drizzle cake. You weren't wrong about the pink being shocking. :) The quilt is lovely & bright. Hugs, xx
Yep! That's pink alright! I love lemon cake, or lemon anything actually, lol. You make me hungry; it looks that good. Enjoy your week. ;^)
You have been busy again. The pink does look striking. I agree, a lover of pink will adore it.
And the cake looks delicious!
Oh My your lemon drizzle cake looks so delicious Fiona - one of my faves. My lemon tree is laden this year so I may have to make one. I think the blue peeper will be fab under that hot pink binding - it might help tone it down a bit.
Nice use of your scrap pinwheels - that pink certainly is shocking! I love lemon drizzle. xx
You're right, Fiona - that is very pink! Yummo on the lemon drizzle cake; I used to have a Greek recipe for lemon coconut cake made like that but it seems to have disappeared over the past 30 years.
Pretty pink pinwheels. Lemon drizzle cake is the best.
A great use of your scraps. Lemon drizzle cake always goes down well.
Great to use up your pinwheels, it is pink but someone will love it very much . Our lemon tree has been very productive this year, most go into a G&T 😁.
It's always a pleasure to see what you are sewing Fiona...
And as usual, ALL lovely projects...xox
