FNSI results

A little late posting this but I did achieve something during yesterday's FNSI.


I finally got the binding onto my cousin's daughter's quilt.  Took longer than I'd expected, but pleased with it.


I followed a binding tutorial from the Missouri Star Quilt Co and it has definitely improved the look of my binding.

Now for something slightly different...

Over the summer I ended up going to one of those ceramics painting place that I always thought were just for kids...


...I was wrong.  After painting the first mug at the beginning of August I took my sister to another pottery painting place at the end of the month and painted the blue mug.

Barring my inability to paint a steady straight line round the rim or base I really enjoyed painting these and may find an excuse to go again in the near future!

Wedding Banner - In Use

Well I didn't manage to quilt the banner for the big day, but they were able to use it as a banner.


I'm really loving how it's turning out.
