FNSI for May.

Friday I had the vacuum cleaner out to clean the house but I got sidetracked when I walked past the Cave and went inside and started sewing on the binding on Simply Serene.





I joined all the bits of blue bindings I had ready sew onto the back first and fold over to front and machine sew down.



Taa Dah !!!!  Folded ready to donate. So happy to have a nice quilt suitable for a man. 

Simply Serene is a great simple pattern which I'm sure I'll make again.

In the evening I sat and hand sewed the bottom quarter of LaLa Passacaglia together... 

My next project to work on will be putting the first top and bottom borders on "Sunshine and Lollipop"

Now I must away and plug in the lap top before I run out of battery.

Happy stitching

Finally

have time to sit and catch up on posting on my blog after a month of appointments either for hubby or myself......

Been busy doing some more blocks for "Sunshine and Lollipop" BOM and now it's time to join them all ready to add boders.



 For April FNSI I've been joining the La Passacaglia blocks. 



Sill have many more blocks to make but thought to start joining the ones that are completed.




Also put together the Fish RSC blocks from last year and it's now ready to sandwich, pin and quilt.







Completed Aussie Hero blocks for April and for May's FnwFs I did the ones for this month.

Some of the ladies have joined Chooky to make a quilt called Simply Serene. I enjoyed putting together this nice easy top that is now sandwiched ,pinned and ready to quilt. Will be a great donation quilt.


 



After a lot of sewing thought it was time to give the machine a clean and a drop of oil.



I've also enjoyed doing some knitting while binge watched hours of " Poldark" 

Will make myself a cuppa and catch up on lots of blog reading...

Happy Stitching and keep well.

Hugs Maria 💖
