Friday night sew in August report!

hubby and i managed to get the little human into bed before 7pm - so that meant i was off to my sewing space then! lucky me!

i was very disciplined, bordering on boring, this FNSI - i restricted myself to UFO's only.

first i finished off my mother in law's blocks for her 60th birthday quilt.

then i got to work on my hubby's requested tv watching quilt. his challenge was to make it entirely from my stash (he is a bit of a tight-arse!) as then he would enjoy it more. i decided on a disappearing 9 patch some time ago, as it would hide my mismatched points more easily!

i had kind of just been going along cutting 3" squares and piecing them together, but i thought i should get organised with some colours etc, otherwise there wouldn't be a spread of the fabrics....

so i got all my colours out and started cutting....

then grouped them into piles of 9 separted by the insert from some flat fats i had...

then i pieced a few together....

getting some idea of what it will look like...

then i called it a night!

much fun - it is nice to put a whole night aside and be out by myself doing craft.  glad i have the excuse to do it once a month with FNSI!!!

p.s. for those in Oz, don't forget to vote today!!!  despite what our Mark Latham might think, making your vote count is more important that protesting by donkey voting.  if you don't like what you are seeing in the major parties, consider a minor one or an independent.  but whatever you do, make it count!  people have fought and died for our right to choose our government
