well nearly; I was happy with 10.07am — But WHY the rush?...I decided to stage my very own SEW-IN!!
First up was a block for Sue, a friend of Lizzie's. I was really touched by the story Lizzie wrote and her plea for blocks.

| I hope she likes reds!! |
(quick interruption to grab line full of washing- heavy rain looming..)
Next, more work on my pretties hexie project... a full show in a few days when it's properly done....
 |
| No longer looking like a quilt...? |
(Skies were blue again so another load went on the line)(so windy they dried in no time..)
Then a few finishing touches to the latest "My Garden" block (recognise the cute wee button from my last post?)
 |
| the to-do pile is higher than the done pile |
[Oh dear - what's happening here —
And then there was a quick photo shoot so I could show off the gorgeous purse and pad I received in a giveaway from Di, from Quilting is Blissful!! Cute isn't it? I love the fabric she has used - THANK YOU sweet Di!!
And so ended my day in my cave - it all went downhill after this, with calves calling, hungry family members calling , and more washing to sort.
Have a great week everyone!!
You are showing many nice things, Ik love the Garden-block: the stitchery, the applique, the colors, the fabric chosen and the button!

What an awesome day you had! So much to show for it. I'm thinking maybe a hexie bag?? Love those pretty colours you're using. Lovely progress on all your gorgeous projects.
ReplyDeleteDon't you just love days like that!!
ReplyDeletethat looks like a bag in the making to me??Oh well I will have wait.......
Cool My garden block...I got a bit unsure with the satin flowers as the picture on the pattern shows 2 different coloured flowers, but the stitchery pattern says one?
Anyway very cute.
Oh dear....looks like I'll be a yo yo with the washing today...my turn...see ya!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great sewing day you had.
ReplyDeleteGreat block for Sue.
