So and now to the being productive part, I already visited some others, and they seem to have accomplished so much more, but I have to say to my defense I was hand sewing. Some of you may already know my Flower garden and the little border auditioning. So that's what I did, started on the border. As the whole thing is getting quite bulky I decided to just sew a new piece and sew the border on the quilt later.
As I haven't decided, whether to do all the flowers with the dark center (it's one of the petal fabrics in the center flowers) or use the dark and the striped fabric interchangeing, I decided to leave the centers empty for the moment. The whole adventure was accompanied by
And in between I finished some more "save the Royal Mail" things. H.M. Queen Elizabeth II were custom orders - well I bought the post cards, but they were explicitly ordered by the addressees.

Edit: as I'm preparing for the journey I didn't get much done on my flowers so I will just enter the one in the started border.
Cute socks! Great work on the hexies - so NOT my favorite thing to do!
ReplyDeleteLoved the socks story. I am clumsy enough to wear different socks and not notice it until night too.
ReplyDeleteAre the hexagons handstitched? That's something I could never do. Fabrics and I are not good friends.
The mismatched sock idea is all the rage with young girls around here. They do it all the time. I once wore a blue shoe and a black one of the same type and no one said anything until the end of the day my principal looked down and asked me if I always wore that combination to school! Your wonderful hexagon piecing is going very well. I have never tried that style of patchwork, but admire them at quilt shows.
ReplyDeleteI love your hexies project... it will looks beautiful when everything done. I always love hexagon but in smaller scale project not a quilt... I don't think I have enough patient when come to hand sewing.
ReplyDeleteLove your socks! Your border is looking great.
ReplyDeleteThat border will be great!
ReplyDeleteI love the mismatched socks too! Border is looking lovely and you are so right, it starts to get pretty bulky.
ReplyDeleteI love your socks... perhaps dressing before coffee? It's definitely happened to me... 2 different shoes with one a slightly higher heel than the other!?!
ReplyDeleteI too love the hexis and making them too. Not posting today, as I don't have a photo, but will next week. Take care!
