FNWF

update...last night I joined in with FNWF'ers  and enjoyed some sewing. I did some more fillers on the hexie quilt

and then I did some sewing on the binding of the Santa wall hanging

hopefully I can finish this today and tidy up all the endy bits front and back.

You can see what the other Friday Nighters got up to over at our lovely hosts place.

Thank you Cheryll for hosting.

Happy sewing.

FNSI

Well thank goodness it was cooler last night...I even had a goosebump or three!! So much better than the night before! I got some things done so I was happy

a stitchery is traced and ready to be started

I finally got to applying the gold and silver to the Christmas wall hanging....I put the glue on 3 days ago....luckily it stays sticky!!

gave the polar bear some silver on his head, some parts are too thick but the glue went runny on me and blobbed....ah well!!

gave Mt Fox some silver around the head....

some gold on the Christmas tree....

and silver on the shading on the wolf and bear...now for the hanging sleeve and label!!

and the I did some binding sewing on the kookaburra quilt...I had about 8 inches to go at 11.30 last night but had to stop...finished it off in bed this morning!! Now for a label and hanging sleeve here too! Feeling quite pleased to be getting a little closer to finished!

Pop over here to see what other FNSI people got done and a big thanks you to Wendy for being host Momma!

Happy sewing!

Surprises in the mail

Today I had to go to the PO to collect a parcel - and ended up with three - felt like it was Christmas!!

All the goodies!!

this was from Jessica a post crossing friend in The Netherlands, she wraps so beautifully!!!

and this is what she sent - a saucer with 3 crochet cupcakes, and 3 key rings, one a crochet ice cream, a crochet cupcake and an owl!! have I been spoilt!

The other parcels were from jenny in New Zealand, she has been to a quilt shop and has found treasures, the tea cup fabric she thinks could be a challenge for the Wednesday night group (like we have nothing to do!! Lol!!) Love this fabric!

and....9 fat quarters, love the batiks, and the Christmas fabric and the starie night fabric is beautiful too ...have something in mind for that...one day!!

Mmmmmm....Halloween fabric - Jenny would like something made up with this - table runner, cushion covers, wall hanging???? Maybe a long skinny table runner?

and two Xmas panels - Jen would like them made into something for her..something else to think on!

this one has glitter!!

the second parcel had a purple owl  lunchbox!! How cute is that??? And it was full on NZ made milk shake lollies....my favourite!!  Well I have to go and do some thinking and planning now and make myself finish what I am currently working on!! I am very, very lucky to have such great friends.
