Another Friday night enjoying sewing with all of you. ♡
I actually had most of Friday to sew. Lucky me!
Remember this quilt?
My day started with sandwiching it. I had previously pieced the backing but hadn't gotten around to sandwiching it. Sew now it is ready for quilting.
In the late afternoon, I spent some time hand quilting this mini quilt. I can only show a peek as it is a surprise gift to someone.
I have a few more cups to hand quilt and it will be ready to bind!
After dinner, I decided to work on another mini quilt that I have been wanting to try. A book shelf...
All the books are sitting on the shelf but I need to add the titles to the books. I did rummage thru my selvages and choose the ones I want to use. There was some picking out going on last night...not my favorite thing to do.
I used this tutorial for this project.
What did you do on FNSI? You can find out what others have done here.
I also have added a few more flowers to my hexi garden this week.
And some beautiful tulips to brighten the day!
Have a wonderful day!
Beautiful

ReplyDeleteI really want to see that whole mini! I really do! I love the quilts I've seen with selvages for book titles so I'm anxious to see yours finished. I really must get some books on my to-do list.
