FNSI for July 2020

It was the third Friday of the month yesterday and even though dear Wendy had a scare this week she still organised us for a lovely evening of sewing together at FNSI....
Do hope all went well with tests Wendy..

I always like to have a few things ready to sew for these special evenings and this week I finally quilted " Intrepid Traveller" a quilt I put together while in isolation . It is a pattern from this years "Quilt Calendar" and made by finally cutting up a Bundle of FQs I had in the cupboard for years....  last night I put on the binding and now it's completely have a finish...
When I was cutting up all the blocks for the quilt and I was tossing the off cuts into the bin and

because this was some fabrics I treasured thought could I make something from these scraps ????
so I retrieved them from the bin...



and started to sew them together as a leader and ender project into 5" blocks
sew last night I sewed six scrappy blocks together , used  FQ s for sashing and made them into placemats.
 
now ready to be sandwiched and quilted.
I'm pleased I saved the scraps.....








next was to sandwich , quilt and put the binding on this small wall Hanging ......

             It was my No 12 UFO from Sunday Stitchers so I'm pleased I finished it in time....

Thank you Wendy  for a great evening of sewing and will enjoy visiting other over the weekend HERE

Must away and get the washing off the line,

Happy stitching and stay safe everyone.

Hugs  Maria ❤

    What a lovely finish, Maria! I am especially enamored of those scrappy blocks and that sweet kitty wall hanging. And I keep forgetting to tell you how much I love the kaleidoscope quilt on your header. Well done my friend.

    Love the tumbler quilt and it's always fun to have a finish!
    and what a neat 'scrap' quilt from leftovers--
    I am working at saving more of the small pieces--
    and love the kitty on the bench--

    and just found it recently and it's in a pile to --someday lets' finish this!!!
    be safe--luv, di

    Wow - 2 for the price of one. They certainly are pretty fabrics, so use them all!! I try to use all my scraps, either in small quilts, or place mats for charity. I've finally done a little stitching.....

    I love your quilt! And I did the exact same thing with the scraps from my dresden plate quilt years ago. Sadly I don't have the quilt or the mini I made with those fabrics.

    Well done on the finish Maria - I love it!! How cute did those placemats turn out too - I find it very hard to toss any sort of scrap...! Love the kitty - I remember stitching this block years ago - I had a red cat quilt I was making, hmm haven't seen it in a while...!

    Love your idea of using up those leftover pieces, and reminds that I have a few somewhere, as it's hard to throw out fabric isn't it?
