My FNSI ...

Well I did not realize it has been so long since I posted in here .... way too long really ... but life does seem to get in the way of having fun ... Hopefully my life will settle down enough that I can get back into my sewing room and get a few UFO's finished ... 

Last nights FNSI certainly helped ... 


I managed to put together a quilt top that I started ages ago .... well now it waits to be quilted .. which could take another age to get to ... can't rush these things ... I posted last about this top back on the 5th December ... it is a tube quilt pattern .. and I got the inspiration from BubzRugz Blog ... hers was just so pretty ... made me want one of my own .... I do think I will need to put a border on it ... but which colour to do it in ??? ... there are so many to chose from ... 



I also put together a few blocks for a "leaders & enders" quilt ... it is coming along nicely ... 
and should not take too long to do at all .... I have everything cut out ready to piece them as they come together ... 
I will need 70 8 inch blocks to complete the top .... I have 25 done so far ... so I am off to a great start




Also I made a block for Holly ... she is my May swap partner for Block Swap Adventure ...
