Cats & Quilts - a match made in heaven... (except maybe those stubborn little clouds of fur that latch on to the fabric!)

Kitty Quote of the Day

I love cats because I enjoy my home; and little by little, they become its visible soul. - Jean Cocteau

FNSI - Little Things

Last night I had a Friday Night Sew In along with many of you worldwide. It was a great Friday night for a sew in in Perth. The weather was stormy, the temperature had dropped dramatically & the rain was falling. A night in front of the TV watching the AFL footy semi-final, then 2 ABC police & forensics programmes while stitching was perfect.

For once there was no stitchery happening, just lots of little things coming together. I made these hexies on Thursday night.


And Friday night sewed them together. Little Brun helped by supervising which fabrics to put in what order.


Next it was cut up lots of little squares.


That orange circle is the large size clover yo-yo maker. And by bed time I had 15 lovely little yo-yos made.


Another 10 were made during the second semi-final footy game today so only 5 more to make. The yo-yo maker certainly makes it easy.

To see what everyone else did on their FNSI, go to Heidi's blog, Handmade by Heidi, where there are 127 bloggers signed up for last nights sew in. It's a great way to find new blogs & bloggers whose work we can ohhh & ahhh over.

Happy stitching

    What a sweet little project you are working on. Hope you enjoyed the AFL game. It was on here as well. Hubby was happy with the outcome although it was such a close game and could have gone either way.

    Hi Tracee, your hexagons and yo yos look wonderful, what are you making with them.
    Your blog seems to be fine now. Hope I didn't worry you too much.

    I'm loving all the yo yos Tracee, so neat. And you know I love any hexy any time... is the yo yo maker easy to use? I'm interested to teach myself how to make them

    Your fabrics are so pretty! Great Friday night stitching. Can I ask you where you purchased the mini-quilt frame from that you so generously gave to Leanne (she is my stitching buddy here in Tas) and I am keen to buy myself one!!
