FNWF

I love the first Friday of the month because it is usually followed by the first Saturday of the month - so I get an extra dose of sewing...and then sometimes we get a long weekend as well - joy!!

So, this post is a bit late and I can't really remember now what I did when - so in summary for Friday night, and a sewing Saturday I worked on these:
and did some more very "Fussy" cutting

Those antlers are going to be tricky to sew....

And on Sunday I went to the Beenleigh Quilt Show - some lovely quilts and some interesting ideas to stash away.

Here are a few that caught my eye:


 
The detail of the bricks was very clever and the thread painting on the flowers was amazing:
It was hard to get a clear shot as the quilt was moving in the breeze.



And I just have to add this one...this is DD2 - where she works they have a "theme" each weekend...this weekend is "Hawaiian"  Don't think she will win a Vogue award for best dressed but she really gets into the spirit.



Lovely to be sewing with cyber friends - for those with a holiday Monday - enjoy!!  the weather in Brisbane has been absolutely gorgeous lately, so hopefully it will continue.

Thanks Cheryll for hosting us again...

    Love your stitchery project and that fussy cutting is very impressive, especially cutting around those antlers. (good luck with the sewing around them!) The quilts in your photos are gorgeous...such details!
