A finish, some starts and FNSI

Over the course of the past few days a finish was achieved.... the long hot mat that was being made for when several dishes are laid out on the kitchen bench.

 I did do quite a bit of fmq on this one even though it cannot be seen but it was done for my own satisfaction of saying that it was attempted.    The skill still needs a lot of practice but it is improving and doing it in small areas felt far more comfortable than over a large quilt.

A start was made also on the capsule/pram covers.   I decided to go with 5 1/2"  squares which meant that 36 squares were cut in order to have a 30" x 30" finish.  Progress so far on the first one

When joining  in with  for FNSI the blocks for the second cover were cut.

After putting the machine to bed I wandered out to watch Midsomer Murders and finished off the shaping of the crown on the purple/lilac beanie that was started last week.

Thank you Wendy for organising us again.    Don't forget to go over here to catch up with what else was happening in other sewing spaces last night.  

Linking with Table Scraps

Happy sewing all
