FNSI Results

Actually I had MoRe than just the night sewing... I had most of the day... yeah!
Most of the sewing was SeCReT stuff shh...but some projects I can show you...
I volunteered to sew the binding & label on a charity quilt...so that was finished first.
Next job was to sandwich/pin the baby play rug for DD2 friend...
The quilting will be done over the weekend I hope... fingers crossed xx
I needed to replace a trim on my North Pole flimsy, then add a border, before pinning ready for quilting... so that was the next item on the agenda.
I'm happy with the result too after a fabric disappointment.... more on that later.
The rest of my time was spent on swap items... Oooh so much FuN !
Thanks Wendy for allowing us to come over to sew with you at FNSI.
