Belated FNwF show & some other finishes

Last Friday was this month's FNwF (Friday Night with Friends) evening, and although I started late, I did manage to get a few items done.

I finished off (hand)sewing down the binding on the table runner I began earlier in the year as a thankyou gift for my daughter's childcare teacher from last year (yes, SUPER late, I know!)

Now all it needs is a wash & to make some 3D flowers to go on opposing corners ... or maybe I'll just skip the flowers and just give it to her like this (??... hmmm ...).  I took inspiration from some table runners that Rhianon (@ The Nifty Stitcher) made for Christmas gifts and shared on FB this past December.  Thankfully she was happy for me to do this as I adore the ones she made!!  The backing fabric is the same as the cream w/ blue flowers in the outer border.  

FMQing deets ... The white centre is divided into 8 squares, each quilted in a feathered design; the brown border has a loopy design with two different heights to the loops (1/2way & full); and the outer border has a continuous one-sided feather (using the brown border as the 'inner stem').

When this was finished, I completed the remaining stitching on my SKoW tree block.  Here is the finished block ...

Earlier in the week, I was also able to manage doing some sewing/stitching most days.  I finished off my SKoW shoe block (stitchery & needle turn) ...

The needleturned hearts on the Red Book Bag stitchery ...

** I am using Sarah Fielke fabrics for this bag in her 'Pond' range, currently available at Spotlight.  I have all the fabrics cut out for this bag now, ready to be put together; I just needed to get some Pellon yesterday, and I hope to have this finished and put together by the end of next week (I'm being realistic here, knowing how much uni I have to work on over the next few weeks!!)

And last night, I even managed to start working on one of the stitchery designs being shared by Wendy B & Dawn in their 'Seasons of" BOM.  This pattern was shared here, and the following two here.  The next one, I am expecting in the next few days *wink*.

I slightly adapted the seat ... hope that's okay Wendy? xx

So there you have it ... a roundup of my latest stitching sessions.  Now to go get some cleaning/sorting/organising & uni assignments/work done.  Enjoy your (Aussie) school holiday week!!
