Seeing Red

An early start has been made on FNSI today and I now realise just how time consuming it is cutting and sewing strips for my four red  log cabin blocks which were nominated as my OMG for January.   Now that I look at the photo the blocks  need to be arranged differently as some  of the fabrics are a bit too close together so before the next colour is announced for February hopefully these will be sewn together.


Once they were completed it was then onto finish off a dress for the charity that I have started making dresses for.  I  have joined forces with another lady to make size 6 and as  they need approx. 60 dresses of this size we will be busy over the coming months.


Thanks goes to Wendy for organising us again this year.

Linking with Em's Scrapbag.   So Scrappy   Oh Scrap.    Finished or Not Friday

Back soon and in the meantime


Happy sewing all

    Love how the log cabin has a circular finish by using the red and white fabrics.
    Sweet little dress and a great reason to sew :)

    I like the way your log cabin block gives the illusion of being round. The dress is adorable. Sixty dresses is quite a goal. Which charity are you making them for?

    The red log cabins are going to be so effective when done! It's a good pick for the RSC. Good on you making the dresses - yes, that's a lot to make!
