Full on back at work this week so there has been little sewing, just a few stitches here and there. Musn't lose site of the deadlines for some projects.
when I saw this fabric I just had to have some. The hexies are quite large but so beautiful! Not sure what to use it for but one day I will work out what to do with it.
thankyou so much Rosalie!
One good thing about this week is that I have had some squishy parcels arrive in the mail. My order from Erica's arrived. Some beautiful Double Chocolat by 3 sisters. Perfect for finishing my Park Avenue Hexies..
I just need to make the two end borders with some applique designs from my Quilted Crow book. This project will be for the next holidays, I hope.
Two yards should be more than enough with some to spare for using with the extra leftover flowers - that is on the long term project list.
The next squishie was some lovely fabrics sent to me by Liz (village quilters), some new flowers for my novelty garden.....
They are cut out and ready to go..
I also cut this set from some fabric that Tracey (Mistea) sent me at Christmas time and it has patiently waiting to be cut.
the last squishy was from Rosalie (Briar Rose).
Some ready made flowers in the most amazing fabrics! Wow they are gorgeous.
thanks to all of you girls for adding to my flower stash.
As tomorrow is the first of February it may be time to make a list for what I would like to achieve for Feb,
- finish the top for Down in the Dresden Garden
- finish hexie bag
- make a christmas item or gift for the christmas gift box
Hopefully there will be some crafting time this weekend.
Happy days.

Wow, the brown fabric you'll use in your hexie quilt is lovely!
ReplyDeleteMany great hexies for other projects too!
Nice squishies - how sweet of Rosalie to make the flowers for you.
ReplyDeleteHave a wonderful weekend.
Nice post Marina, it has left me with a lovely contented sigh. Hexie joy. Love the brown fabric it really compliments those rosettes and I adore the russian doll hexies. I am going to have to pop into Dotty Dolly's now as they have just had some of that fabric in. May have to follow your example and start a list for February. Where has January gone?
