FNSI results

I had a nice FNSI although we had unexpected visitors so I didn't get as much done as hoped!   I did manage to make a little pincushion though which will be a gift for my boss, who just happens to love all things crafty and quilting!
The Happy Hedgehog Pincushion - designed by Fiona Marie
This cute little hedgehog is a free pattern found at fionamarie.com.  I must admit I struggled with his nose and it doesn't look as good as Fiona Marie's one but I think the overall effect is OK.  I do hope my boss likes it!!
It has been one of those tiring but satisfying Saturdays today, we managed to tidy most of the gardens and got rid of two trailer loads of cuttings and garden rubbish.  I am looking forward to a relaxing evening and some Christmas sewing.  Sounds good, doesn't it?
Happy stitching, Wendy

  13. I wish I was your boss!! If she doesn't love it to bits there is definately something wrong with her!! I wouldn't be surprised if you get a promotion soon!
    Seriously.... your little Happy Hedgehog is so cute. I'm off to download the pattern. Only hope I can do half as good a job with it as you have. Ho Hum.....

  14. I saw the Hedgehog pincushion from Fiona Marie ages ago. Being a bit addicted to pincushion I had to make one straight away, but i couldn't part with mine.
