FNSI results

Friday was the last FNSI for 2011, it amazes me how quickly this year has flown by!  I decided to work on the Christmas Stitchery banner that was a free sew-along with Sew Happy Me.  It had been put to one side while I concentrated on Vignette sewing and Christmas gifts and I was up to the last stitchery ...
Although I had imagined I might get up to sewing on the bindings, this was as far as I got ... the stitchery finished, all the stitcheries and backing fabric trimmed and pinned together and the binding fabric cut.  I also covered some buttons, using my scraps of the Scandinavian Christmas fabrics.  Here is a close up look at the buttons ...
Aren't they cute?!  Hopefully I will get time tomorrow afternoon to sew it all together.
Thank you to Heidi for all the FNSI's, there is something inspiring about knowing stitchers all over the world are sewing together!  To see more FNSI finishes go http://handmadebyheidi.blogspot.com/.
Happy stitching, Wendy

    Wendy, this is frightening, but I was just working on some fabric covered buttons for a bracelet! :) Your snowman is beautiful, and I need to finish mine.
