Friday Night Sew-In, Finishes and ....

So tonight is October's FNSI! I will be working on wedding quilt blocks!  I am over half finished with the blocks.  After a few little diversions from them, I am ready to get back to them!  I'll let you know tomorrow how I did!  Will you be joining me in the fun?

I have a FINISH!  During the Charming Girls' Quilt Club's Christmas in August Sewing Party (here), I started the Frosty Flakes BOM by Dawn Hay at As Sweet As Cinnamon.  It is now finished!  This little quilt encompassed 'sew' many techniques:  hexies, applique, embroidery, beading, piecing, free motion quilting!  What fun this was to make and the best part is that it was made entirely from my stash! It matches a Christmas ABC quilt I made several years ago.  Thanks Dawn for this little quilt pattern!

I also wanted to show the finished wristlets I made for a friend's wedding.  I started them on the September FNSI but was waiting the hardware.  Here they are...all 12!

And I'll leave you with some more color and texture pictures from the Fall O Ween challenge!

Tomorrow I'll be back to update you on the FNSI results!

The results are in....FNSI

Last night was the Friday Night Sew-In!  It was a busy week for me so I didn't have time to remind you.  Did you remember to join us?  Hope so!  

This is now my FNSI went....

Right after school, a friend and I headed off to the fabric store to pick out some fabric and supplies for wristlets that she has commissioned me to make for her bridesmaids and a few other special ladies in her wedding.  

After playing with color combinations and fabric choices, she made her selection.  

We then headed to the zippers to match the fabrics. Next was thread and then interfacing.  

We headed to the cutting table to finish up.  We were on our way!

  

I was anxious to get started [especially knowing it was FNSI]!

After a quick bite to eat I was ready to settle in for a night of sewing!

Press fabrics.  Cut out patterns.  Sew, Sew Sew!

And the results...

Aren't they cute!

I will be making a total of 12 wristlets.  The 2 green ones are one of a kind. There will be 10 of the yellow and purple wristlets. The rest are all cut out and prepped for sewing...

Here are 2 more Frosty Flakes that I finished but haven't had time to show you all.  

Block 5

Block 6

Only 3 more to go!

Hope you had a great FNSI!  I did!
