FNSI

It was Friday Night Sew in.  I was going to a play on Friday night so didn't have much time to do any sewing but I did manage to nearly finish another New York Beauty.
Here are my blocks so far.
As you can see Fudge was very interested in them.  He has commandeered one of my old quilts as his own for lying on when he is in the house and I think he might feel that this new quilt is his.

I also managed to make a felt christmas ornament but as it's for a swap and my partner might be reading this I can't show it to you until later on.

I'm also showing some photos of our weekend away at Brooklodge in Aughrim.
 This is a little private church where you can have a ceremony with family.
 This reminds me of the style of house from Gone with the Wind
 The pub (where we enjoyed a drink or two)
 This is the back of the hotel
 The old pump and trough.  They also had an old telephone box.
This is the little bridge over the stream to the church.
It was a lovely relaxing weekend away and I would go back again.

Here are some recent photos of Fudge.  As you can see he is getting bigger by the day.  He has taken this as his favourite chair (hubby is politely pushed off it if he tries to sit down)
 This is Fudge with our neighbours kitten Toby.  Toby will fillow him around outside and the two play chasing all the time.  If Fudge doesn't turn around at the door Toby will continue to cry until he does.
That's it for now.  Hope you all had a great weekend and for all those in the US I hope you had a great thanksgiving weekend.
Best wishes

Bank holiday weekend

YIPPEE!!!!!!! It's a bank holiday weekend here so a nice long weekend.  The clocks change to winter time which means we get an extra hour in bed on Sunday morning and it's also mid-term break for the schools who are off for the week.

It was FNSI yesterday.  I've been working on a 4 block wall hanging for a swap I'm in.  I need to get it finished to send away by Wednesday.



I'm away for the weekend to Brooklodge in Aughrim for the weekend ( a wedding anniversary pressie from our two girls) so I won't be near a computer.

Hope everyone has a great weekend.

Needlecase

Well I almost got one needle case finished at the FNSI.
My swap partner likes patterns and left the coice and style upto me.
I used different pieces to make up the front and some sewing themed fabrics for
the inside.  I just have to finish the binding off and sew on a large button on the front.

I hope to get it finished today so I can post it away to it's new home tomorrow and maybe I will get a start on the other swap needlecase I need to make.

Enjoy the rest of your weekend.
