Well my FNWF turned into FAWF (afternoon) as we went out for dinner. I felt like I was doing lots of bits and pieces but ended the afternoon with, a stew for the new parents down the road,
backing was pieced, as was wadding
and Finns quilt top got borders, now it is ready to be sandwiched, hopefully today 😀 I might even add a few more circles, I will see. This is supposed to be hand quilted with big stitches, I haven't done that before, so we will see how it goes.
The last little bit of free range quilting has been done on the fairy quilt, now I have all the thread ends to sew in.
I had planned to do some hand stitching when we got home but I had a soak in the bath and read a book and then went to bed, exciting bunny that I am!!
You can see what the other FNWF'ers did over here, thank you Cheryll for hosting us.
Happy stitching.
Very cute quilts.
ReplyDeleteFinn’s quilt is so cute. I’m sure it will be treasured.
ReplyDeleteThe quilts are lovely. What thread are you planning to quilt with? It will look great hand quilted.
ReplyDeleteLovely quilts
ReplyDeleteWonderful quilting, but there's nothing better than a soak in the bath, a good book and bed! Hugs, Valerie
ReplyDeleteMore lovely quilts. Finn is going to love his quilt, or his mother will love it. Lol
ReplyDeleteGreat job! Two quilts getting down to the finish line. Have a great weekend!
ReplyDeleteLove Finns circle quilt. Burying threads is not my favourite.
ReplyDeleteThe adorable quilt is getting there.... I have never done hand quilting on a quilt before either...

Finn's quilt is coning together nicely. Pretty fairy quilt.
ReplyDeleteLove Finn's quilt - you were quite busy considering your dinner out & soak in the bath
ReplyDeleteOh, a long soak in a bath with a good book, at the end of a busy day sounds like the perfect thing to me. LOVE Finn's quilt. It is filled with such fun and visual interest and delight. I love the thought of big hand quilting. It is going to look fabulous. You and big hand quilting will be the best of friends.
ReplyDeleteYou still achieved heaps. Circle work is looking terrific.
ReplyDeleteWhat darling quilts and the pillow too. Good luck with the hand quilting! Book, bath, and bed sounds great to me! LOL!
ReplyDeleteFinns quilt is looking good, and I think that the idea of the soaking bath and a good book sounds just perfect.
ReplyDeleteI love Finn's bubbles, Sue, what a lucky wee boy!
ReplyDeleteLove the look of Finn's quilt........
