Last week I said I would show you what I am doing with my 'pretty' hexaflowers. I could have sewn flat out today to finish it but I had a few other things I needed to do instead. However, here is a sneak preview!!
As you can see I have sewn the hexagons (5/8 inch sides) onto four and a half inch squares. Next comes a chequerboard. So far the effect is very pretty and sweet. Its not the best photo sorry, I had trouble with getting the light right and didn't want to take them outside. (Indoor plants these ones!!)
A cow and I had a bit of an incident this morning, she was pushing to get somewhere we didn't want her... in the process the fingers of my hand got bent right back. As the day progresses, my hand is becoming sorer and more immobile!! Fingers crossed it will mend itself FAST!! So far it hasn't slowed down my hand sewing :-) (That's my main concern!!)
oH SORRY about the hand--but it did give me a smile--not that you hurt yourself--but that your first concern was that it not affect your sewing--way to go girl friend!!!
ReplyDeleteI happened to burn two knuckles on my left hand this morning on the toaster--but they are better now--so must of been a "accident' kind of day!!!!
Love Love those Hexie flowers and what you are doing with them---Hugs, Di
Excellent yellow flower and I like the layout for your 'pretty' hexaflowers, so pretty! And, oh dear, your poor, poor finger! :(
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautilful flower you have made this week.
ReplyDeleteHope your finger quickly is geting better.
Looks great what you have started with the hexagons.
Your yellow flower is so 'springy', can't wait till mine are flowering, I think they are still a month away yet. The joys of the Deep South! Those 'pretty' flowers are gorgeous, I love the layout you've chosen. Beautiful!! Hope that hand gets better fast.
ReplyDeleteI had to do a double take at those yellow flowers well camouflaged ..very cute looking little hexies...so so pretty.
ReplyDeleteYour hand! Get better, get better, wee hand as you have much to do!
Your flowers look so pretty and I feel so sorry for you now that your hand hurts. Hope you get better soon.

Fabulous retro daffodil! I like both types of fabric that you're using for your flowers - the indoor flowers look so soft and gentle and very pretty, I like the way you're using them. Hope your poor hand soon heals.
