Last night I sat down and completed the final Christmas gift for this year.
Can only give you a
sneak peak.
Next I decided start stitching my "Postage Stamp Quilt" . Heidi had invited us to join her in Feb to make this quilt. She has kindly put a tutorial on her blog.
I thought it would go together quickly but it is not so. Maybe I am just a slow seamstress.
Stripes ready to go.
My first set completed. I will work on it again later today.
Must away now as I am off into town for a coffee with a friend.
That postage stamp looked like a challenge. SOOOO many seams and matching points!!!!
ReplyDeleteIt's always nice to view the results of FNSI. Hope you enjoyed your coffee and friend.
Well, there you are! Congratulation
ReplyDeleteon finishing up your gifts! You Must be SOOO proud of your self! I am getting closer to that goal! I firmly believe that little "Maria" is helping me "BIGTIME"!!!! Thank you so very much!:) I still cannot believe that she lives with me!

All your work will be worth it! Good job on finishig your gifts!
ReplyDeleteYour postage stamp quilt is going to be gorgeous! I didn't sign up for that one, so I'll be enjoying everyone elses. I was too tired to get much done for FNSI, so I may have to have my own SNSI.
ReplyDeleteI love your quilt. I will have to look at the tutorial.

Uhm, trust me, you are not slow... I decided that the postage stamp is a life long project. I got one secion done back in Feb and another one since then... I figure one every 6 months is about my limit.
ReplyDeleteJust hopped over from In Stitches. Postage Stamp is lots of sewing, but so worth it.
ReplyDeleteHi! I am visiting from Holly Jolly Blog Bingo, Blog Roll.
ReplyDeleteLucky you, all your pressies finished! I am still frantic.
Happy Holidays.
