Stitch Maynia Day #21 and Final Finish Friday!

 I have decided Friday's are going to be "finishing things".....mostly craft projects that have languished or gotten buried underneath other craft projects!  I did do a final finish which I will show on YOP Sunday and then after that I pulled out a mini-quilt to finish.........I also set up a little ironing station on my kitchen counter as the pieces are small so no sense dragging out the big ironing board.............I just put a double folded towel down on my cutting board and my iron is sitting on an iron rest that's heat proof.

It's slow going because I have to cut out all the materials first and once again it is bending over my cutting mat and I can only do it for so long before my back needs a break.  I'm hoping to get all the cutting done today though.  I do have one square sewn but that's from a while ago.
 

My Stitch Maynia Day #21 is a free pattern from the Drawn Thread and it is in remembrance of 9/11...it's hard to believe it happened 20 years ago!  I just thought it would be nice to have a little something to bring out each year not that I could ever forget.

Here's what I have done.  I chose a tomato red which almost looks orange but I'm hoping the blue will tone it down a bit............

I also printed off a SAL called The Sewcialites which is free and has been going since last September....I'm a little late to the party.  But there are free quilt blocks put out every Friday by Fat Quarter Shop and each block is by a different designer.  The blocks are labeled Beginner, Intermediate, and Experienced. I figure I will start with the beginner blocks and move up from there.  Right now I am just printing it off with no plans to start anything.

Remember yesterday when I  mentioned having ordered from Country Stitches, Brenda Gervais's shop?  Well, her ears must have been ringing or someone tipped her off because today I got an email from her stating she had shipped all but one item which was out of stock but she refunded me the amount and the shipping.  PTL!!!  I am excited now!   

I hope you all are having a great Friday.  Do you have certain days when you do certain things?  Curious minds want to know!

Happy Trails!!!
