FNWF - May

When you have the luxury of being able to sew all day . . when do you officially start FNWF??

I figure that is up to me  . ..so my day's efforts included:

Counting & some extra cutting of Novelty 5" blocks and the necessary number of half blocks.


Cutting and cutting 5" French General and FG-like blocks and the necessary number of half blocks.

Darn - there are only 170 good ones and 10 "sort of OK" ones.  I need 200 . . . hunting....hunting...


These are in preparation for an upcoming retreat...getting some charity work organsied  . . .hopefully a few will do some charity sewing....


Then it was some "me" time....I am sitting & waiting for this week's FPP block, so in the meantime I thought I'd whip up this Kiwi block.  This is actually my Chookshed Challenge #5 project, so I will do a separate post later....but he turned out kinda cute.


Now, I better get myself organised for  . . .yes...another sewing day tomorrow!

Thanks, Cheryll for hosting us again.
I hope everyone had some "me" time and was able to craft a bit.

    Oh nice job with all that cutting! Bugger about being 20 short ….. I’d be very tempted to just grab a couple of fat quarters lol

    The Kiwi bird …..I’m hoping I saved that pattern somewhere ….maybe my emails??? I’m meant to be doing them and the other birds as my number 5 apparently

    Love your Kiwi block! So sweet! Retreats are so much fun although there is a lot of preparation required before attending. I hope you have a great time.
