FNSI ….it’s got to be Friday SOMEWHERE in the world, right?!

It’s Sunday evening….9pm……and I’ve finished my Friday Night Sew In Project!!!!!…….nothing like extending that Friday Night as long as you can……well…….it is Friday Night ‘somewhere’ in the world, isn’t it?????  LOL

We all know I work best under pressure and our Guild’s quilt show is being held next week……(set up is Wednesday)……we have been given a piece of challenge fabric to design ‘whatever’ we want…..as long as it is no bigger than 36” square……

Ok…….pressure????   I began mine Friday night!!!!!      When I saw the fabric, a brown/maroon/khaki/beige paisley design, I had very little idea of what to do with it…..but as I got to know it - stroked it and talked to it (c’mon….we all do that, right????),  it sorta looked very Australiana to me…….

…..how more Aussie than a slouch hat full of pansies????? (nice tootsies!!!! LOL   just noticed them hee hee)

The design was already drawn for another purpose, so Friday night was prepping the applique pieces, fusing them and starting the stitching….

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I didn’t get too much further than this…..but, in my wisdom (and with a deadline to meet!!), I figured…..”It’s got to be Friday night SOMEWHERE in the world!”, so I continued on into Saturday, and then into Sunday and finished this evening, ready to put in the frame tomorrow……

See what I mean about the Australiana ‘look’……to me, that paisley has almost become an Aboriginal print

….and what better way to commemorate what our diggers did for us all those years ago….

…..and it’s ready (well almost!) to display at our Quilt Show with plenty of time to spare!  So now to take a breather and see what everyone else got up to for FNSI.  Remember, make sure your post is up by midnight tonight, my time to be included in the draw for this month’s prize of ……
