It's so nice to have a garden that needs no weeding!! Just a little trimming perhaps but no wheelbarrow in sight!
I didn't show a pic of last Wednesday's flower, so here it is. I didn't realise how much sewing there would be to put the white garden path completely around it so finishing this size was quite an achievement.
(oops the white fabric is a bit see through here and you can see the writing on the card behind it!)
This week, I have changed tack slightly with some different little hexie flowers. I pulled out my 'pretties' fabric (and shopped for some more) and reduced the size of my template... and here's the next little batch of blooms.
I thought using templates this small (6/8ths of an inch) would be fiddly but it isn't, and they are quick to sew — I pretty much had these sewn before breakfast!!
The white border is lovely Raewyn. It does take a bit of time and look at the little cutes, they sure are 'pretties.'
ReplyDeletethe white border looks fine and time-consuming, as one border is made of nearly the same number of hexies as 2 flowers :-)
ReplyDeleteI´ve had a little flowerbreak the last to weeks, but I´ve prepared 105 more hexies :-)
They sure are pretty flowers.
ReplyDeleteThey are beautiful and what a nice fabric.

Hi Raewyn! The white fabric really makes the red and gold pop! Your little flowers are so sweet! I love the pastel fabrics! All of your flowers are beautiful!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful fabrics on the new little hexies form the pretties fabric. And that is what they are: pretty!
ReplyDeleteThe white around your red adn yellow hexy flower looks stunning!

Your hexie quilt will look stunning when you finish it. White looks great around the flowers.

Thanks for saying hi on my blog. Nice to meet you.
ReplyDeleteI'm tossing up not to do a path - just cos I thought I'd get bored doing one colour - but I do like how it gives your eyes a place to rest.
