Wendy at Sugarlane Designs is back on deck again this year as FNSI Queen - thanks so much Wendy! I love to sew at times like this, simultaneously(ish) with about 50 other ladies from all over the world.
Today I went to my Patchwork group & got some great sewing done... I thought I'd take the plunge & start a new project... because of course I have no UFOs or WIPs at the moment, ha ha...
I just couldn't wait any longer to play with my beautiful Kate Spain 'Honey Honey' charm squares... my new project needs 96 sets of half-square triangles & I managed to get 60 sewn today.
This is a project that will fit in around others & eventually be something just for me.
I'm stacking them in groups of 10 so I don't lost count!
The evening saw me doing a little more on my 'Birdhouse Row' - so easy - one eye on the cross stitching, half an eye on the Australian Open tennis & the other half an eye on the cricket.
The list of ladies is HERE

A Friday morning delivery from the Missouri Star Quilt Company has my mouth watering... more Kate Spain, this time it's 'Horizon'... And also some delicious Fig Tree Fabrics 'Somerset' charms & layer cake plus some yardage. Three stunning projects are planned with all this...
Despite them being so very different, Kate Spain & Fig Tree Fabrics are two of my absolute faves, so this box is the best fabric-y eye-candy I've seen in ages. Big Swoon Right Here!

I'm all up-to-date with my Sew Sweet Simplicity BOM blocks... & after trying a slightly different way of sewing my Flying Geese units, they're turning out so much better... I was not going to be beaten by a fabric goose!
Gotta confess, I'm mighty pleased with my precision joins here!
My Sewing Space is about to become a whole lot more comfortable to spend time in... we're doing a re-vamp of the air conditioning here at home... will keep us all happy... Exciting!
~ Have a Wonderful Weekend & Thanks For Stopping By ~

I totally missed the Friday night stitching this time, (in the midst of dental work), but I've popped in here to give you a VERY big THANKYOU for the wonderful package that arrived for the Aussie Swap!!! Love all the bits & pieces & in the process of blogging about it now.

Oh the hst in Honey Honey sounds yummy ;) How could you only have 1/2 an eye on the Cricket, it was such a great game! Oh I am swooning myself over that fabricky goodness, lucky you're so far away, lol. Well done on mastering fg- the different ways of making them are definitely worth a look when you are struggling. Your blocks are so cheery, well done on such sharp points. Quilter is a term you easily merit :)

You've done a lot! I love The Missouri Star Quilt Co but have not ordered from them as yet. Fig Tree fabrics are a bit of a favourite of mine as well; so beautiful. Yay for new air conditioning!!

The Kate Spain fabrics are very pretty. Not used them before. And what a stash you have received there! You did have a productive night on FNSI.
Love the colours in the charm packs you're using for your quilt and who couldn't love fi tree fabrics as they are just soooo gorgeous!! Love your cross stitch it looks so effective just using the one colour :) Barb.
You have been so busy and all your projects look beautiful. Your joins look amazing! Love your shopping too.
Hi Anthea, thoroughly enjoyed catching up your post. Kind Regards, O'faigh
Lots of loveliness here. Horizon is such a great range have a couple of projects planned to use mine.
WOW lots of yummy goodness there from Missouri Star Anthea. I haven't even looked on their site for so long no with the exchange rate so bad and they have increased their postal rates as well. Your Sew Sweet Simplicity blocks are so lovely Anthea.
Du warst aber fleißig !
Liebe Grüße
Käthe
