Yes that time has come again, albeit too quickly for my liking!
why can't two weeks feel like four weeks and not two days.
Back to normal tomorrow, I don't know how I am going to get up in time. It has taken me two weeks to perfect sleeping in! How wasteful to throw all that hard work away.
I shouldn't complain though the next round will come around quickly enough and I have had a wonderfully restful break and had lots of creative time.
two more blocks were finished for my live, laugh, love quilt and all the rest of the main blocks prepared.
I still haven't made up my mind about the upper and lower border but there is time to decide.
I made a few more of the little hexie pin cushions, I found lots of photos of these made out of fabric and crochet on the net but didn't find any tutorial to share for those who have asked so stay tuned when I make the next one I will share how I have made them.
Found another sweet little cross stitch design that fits in the hexie shape too.

Being the last day of my holidays I wanted to get to play with some special fabrics.
I have been wanting to use these little 1/2 square triangles that I got from Lynda ever since I sewed and trimmed all 300 or so of them. Boy was that a marathon effort!
so out came the machine and I had a little play....
Three blocks are a great start to I don't know what, but it is a start lol
Once you make a start the rest has to come eventually......right?
well there's no fighting it any longer....... Tomorrow will be here before I know it so I am off to enjoy the rest of today..
have a great week
See you all later in the week for my Christmas item for this month!
cheers
marina
Super sweet stitches and pretty pin cushions

Good luck with the alarm tomorrow. I always found the school holidays flew by. Solved the problem by retiring!
A shame you're off to work tomorrow, you have been so incredibly productive these holidays. You are killing me with those little pincushions......they are adorable and I can't wait to get home and try to make one! Looking forward to your tutorial too.
ReplyDeleteWhat are you a productief woman, The little hexie pincussions so lovely.
ReplyDeleteAnd the Quilt you made with the stitchery waaauw so gorgeus.
It's always great having time off... But someone has to pay taxes! Sleep ins are soooo over rated anyway! :)
ReplyDeleteWhat is it with holidays, you just start to enjoy them and they are over! �� I like the look of the HSTs, they are very pretty.
ReplyDeleteJust wanted to say how much I enjoy your blog... and those little hexie pincushions are so sweet! Here in NZ our holidays are just started so I must practice sleeping in too...

What a great holiday Marina. Everything looks so wonderful and those little triangle blocks are so neat!
ReplyDeleteYou had productive holidays, I love your quilt with the wool, it's looking very beautiful. Everything else is lovely too.
ReplyDeleteLove the half square triangle blocks and all of the stitchings. Hope you managed to get up in time and that the day went okay.
ReplyDeleteYou do seem to have packed a lot into your two weeks. Hope you wake up in time! xx
ReplyDeleteI love what you've done with the half square triangle blocks. Pretty block versions. And the applique quilt will be lovely! I'm thinking of you back at work today. Don't work too hard. :)
ReplyDeleteThree lovely projects! The wool stitchery one is wonderful.
ReplyDeleteHi Marina - wow I have really loved to catch up with all the lovely posts I've missed here - lots of beautiful things to see - those tiny hst's look challenging - and the hexy cross stitched pincushions are super-gorgeous... well done, I love to see your work! x
ReplyDeleteHi Marina, I presume you are a teacher? I live in Melbourne, too. I am just wondering where you live and teach?
ReplyDeleteLove your quilt blocks.
LOVE your pincushions and the blocks. I'm a bit of a hexie addict these days so I'm going to have to try these, and I also have a bundle of tiny HST blocks from trimming other blocks so I suspect I'll be playing with your block designs as well. I've made a little basket block that I love and I think a collection (for what, I'm not yet sure) would be fun.
ReplyDeletelovin' all your project. the little stuffed hexies are so sweet.
