Blooms, a finish, & stitcheries.

It's Wednesday again already. Not sure where the time has gone again. I haven't posted about the Vignette hexies in a while but i've been adding to them slowly.
Here's what i've done so far.
Love the bright colours of this fabric range.
I changed the top slightly from when i posted about it 2 weeks ago. I removed one of the stones from the sets of 3 i had on the sides. I then made 1/2 blooms & 1/2 hexagon steps & added them along the sides. Just have to finish the ends & it's ready to quilt.
There was a complaint my red dishcloth was too small(it wasn't). I decided to add more stitches to this one & then discovered when the red one was used the cotton stretched. As i'd already knitted a fair bit of this one i wasn't going to pull it out. I made it rectangular in shape but i'm not happy with it.
Latest block in Michelle's BOM &
the latest block from Paula's BOM.
I'll leave you with some flowers from my garden.
This last little geranium bloom is from cuttings only about 2 months old. I wasn't sure any of them would actually take but the all did. Yay.
Happy Stitching,

    lovely hexagons, I have sent the link to a friend who is making some. Your blog is inspiring me to get into sewing the way I did before we moved house. I just find I can't seem to get back into it yet. But I will.

    So am I correct in understanding that you have TWO hexie quilts going? One you have the top done - and I love that one! - and the other is "vignettes" that are on-going? Those are sure pretty flowers. I think you must be a fiend for hexies! I mean that as a compliment. I wish I liked EPP so much to make that many hexie flowers! I've never done any.
