Fristly last night I finished off the leaves for the scissor keep and pin ball. They have been pressed and prepped ready for sewing together. It is from Inspirations maagzine and the orginal was worked on silk with beautiful silk threads. I chose a white fabric and DMC threads. There was a conversion for the silk to DMC but I didn't use it and now wonder how much of a difference it might make.
This is a pic of the original 'we are family' quilt designed by Bronwyn Hayes from Red Brolly. The pattern featured over four issues of Homespun magazine Vol. 13 - No. 1 - 4.
This is where I started off this morning ......
and ended here with a completed top. You can see from the original pic I changed blocks, colours and even left blocks out lol. Suits what I wanted so why not. All those beautiful fabrics were all $2 fat quarters that I picked up back in April and washed and put away for Lance to give me for my birthday. I love them all and one day I might have to see if that store still has her $2 fat quarter table lol. At least the stash has grown a bit but I can still get the lid on that 52ltr tub. Might be time to go shopping and get another tub and fill it lol. Might just need to find the money tree first.
Well that is the first half of my FNSI and I will be back in the morning with the second half.
Have fun stitching the night away everyone.

Your embroidery looks wonderful Katherine!! And, of course your family quilt is so very, very pretty. Your fabric choices are always lovely, and even better when you consider you've purchased some at a good price. You are certainly still very busy. Cheers.
All this stitching is inspiring! Great job!

Wow! Every piece is terrific. You must be so pleased ( unless you've passed out from exhaustion)!
Just wanted to say hello to you Katherine... we share many of the same friends.. You mentioned going to Bendigo to shop, we are very close to Shepparton..
Love your garden pictures and the quilts you are working on..
Oh Katherine, you have done an amazing job on this quilt top, well done my friend!
And picking up all those cheap fq's was great, leaving more $$ on the non-existent money tree for more fabric buying!!
So pleased for you!
Gorgeous work.
Your family quilt looks happy.
Enjoy the new projects.
