Well Christmas is over and the New Year around the corner. We had a lovely Christmas and more importantly, a low stress one.
Over the past few weeks I have been plodding along with the stitcheries for block 3 and 4 of Down in the Garden, putting off the actual piecing of the blocks. Last night I decided it was time to put them together so that I could tick them off my 'catch up' list.

| block 3 |

| block 4 (this block is just missing the hexie flower on the yellow check square) |

| progress so far.... |
I am happy to say there are three new rows to this project. I have another two to add on and then the task of making fill in hexies will be on the cards.
Narelle (of pins and whiskers) is co ordinating '1 christmas item' again for next year. I have chosen my first Christmas item to make and have put my magazines with Christmas patterns to one side for easy access to lots of inspiration.
That's me up to date for now.......
Hope that you all have a great and safe New Year!
See you next year!

Both projects are looking great and how you have progressed with both these! Well done! I foresee two finishes soon!
ReplyDeleteHappy and productive (sewing) 2012, Marina. The quilts are looking good, I am so tempted but am determined to finish every thing before I start another thing. Maybe that should be my New Year resolution...lol

Enjoy your break.

Your work is gorgeous, Marina. Love how your hexies are looking. I went and checked the Supergoof blog and you are right - her work is beautiful. A good idea to commit to one Christmas item a month - sounds manageable doesn't it :-)
ReplyDeleteDitG is so so pretty! The thread changes you have made suit the fabrics you are using, just divine!
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness all those hexys!
