FNSI Report

I have seen for months now bloggers talking about FNSI and decided since I was likely going to be sewing something anyway that I would sign up . So what did I accomplish , well I worked on two things , first off I sort of finished Henrietta Whiskers , sort of you say , well I still need to do some embellishments but I do have the top completely sewn together and all the applique is now done but I need to do the embroidery attaching the stars in the outside borders as well as some eyes and some buttons which will be sewn on once it is quilted . So here is a picture of what the completed top looks like .
Forgive the wrinkles as I had to spread this out on the bed and stand on the bed to get a picture of the full quilt but itsn't it cute . I also did some work on the baby quilt and am pleased with what I accomplished , have all the sashings sewn on and the row sashings are sewn together but the blocks are not yet sewn together and I must do some stitching around the little bears to keep them in place but so far so good .This picture is before most of the sashings were sewn but it will give you an idea of what it will look like.
I fussy cut these little bears from a border print but wish they were a tad larger but it  is what it is . To see what others have accomplished on their FNSI visit with our host Heidi here
 I am  off now for the city , need some new footwear ,enjoy your day and thanks for the visit.
 hugs Sheila
