One Flower Wednesday with Harvest Home

I've cut into the jellyroll :o This jellyroll made a very lovely ornament on my shelf however, after some 2 years of sitting there I thought it was finally time for it to look pretty somewhere else...i.e. on our bed! I ran up my Inklingo 1" hexagon pdf yesterday and got some printing done. This morning I've sat and worked out what other fabric I need to get in addition to the jellyroll. I've settled on the blue shade after a lot fiddling about and am just now waiting to hear if there is sufficient available - I hope so because I'm not big on decision making, particularly where fabric buying is concerned and it takes me a very long time to make a final choice! 

Here is today's flower - I actually made it last night. I took my printed hexagons along to Matthew's cricket match with the intention of sitting and cutting them out. Well, I not only cut them out, I sewed together my flower. Hoping to get more printing done today and make a start on the next flower tonight - I'm looking forward to some relaxing stitching after the stress of having to plan and decision make this morning! :grin:

 

 

Decisions, decisions...

  I mulled it over and decided that now was the time to cut into my lovely Blackbird Designs Harvest Home jellyroll. At 2.5" wide, I think the strips are a good size for some 1" hexagons. I'm itching to start printing them off ready for next week but I have a few other things to finish off first of all.

I've been trying to decide which fabric to use for the Klosjes this morning. I have a Rouenneries charm pack that I could make use of but might go with an assortment of pinks/browns that currently live in a wicker basket on my shelf - they look very pretty there but I'm sure they'd look even better made into a quilt!

I have a few more flowers ready to sew in the same colours as yesterday and intend those to become a little table runner for Catherine's dressing table so I will continue stitching those as well.

Somebody decided that I needed a little help this morning while I was away making a cup of tea!

 

Actually, I'm not so sure about the help - looks more like she's having a snooze to me!

 

One Flower Wednesday

 I love hand sewing and I've been trying to resist but...resistance is futile! I kept happening across little Gardens growing on blogs and the need to grow my own Garden was irresistable. I had promised myself to finish off my Tail Feathers quilt before starting a new quilt...these are only tiny though and they're super quick to make with a cup of coffee so I think they can almost be overlooked as an altogether new project :) Here's my one flower for this Wednesday - would have been more but my preparation time went out of the window yesterday when school phoned to tell me that Matthew was poorly...one nasty 24 hour tummy bug later and he's back running around again I'm glad to say.

 

1/2" hexagons made the Inklingo way

Now to figure out my get out clause for starting on some Klosjes...I've been eyeing those up for ages. I think the reasoning is the same as for the Garden...they're small, they're a cup of coffee's worth of stitching and they're fun!

p.s I went out into the sunny garden to take a photo of my flower only to find my camera battery was flat...hence the rather uninteresting scanned pic for this week!
