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.

Yes, a beautiful fabric range for your Vignette hexies and I like how you finished the edge of your garden. Have fun quilting!
Your hexies are looking great Jeanette , it will be a beautiful quilt . As always the stitcheries are lovely too . Gorgeous flowers growing in your garden :-)
Jeanette, you're living my dream life, lol: crafting and cooking!! How I envy you.
Your work is truly magnificent :)
You have been very busy and your flowers are really lovely.
I am loving your hexie quilt Jeanette.. I haven't done much on mine lately, so must get back to it..
Isn't it great when cuttings 'take'..

Love the bright colors of your hexagons and the quilt top is beautiful!!
this looks all beautyfull
Wow, so much gorgeous stitching. Beautiful flowers, both real and hexie.
love the hexies Jeanette and i found the cotton that i was buying at big W was terrible for stretching,so now i buy panda cotton blend from Lindcraft at $3.99 a ball and it is great no stretching.I start with 51 sts on 4.5 needles and do k1,p1
It is so nice to see all the flowers form into a beautiful garden. looks fabulous.
Your real flowers look lovely too.
Love what you did to Square up your Quilt...
Beautiful Hexies..Well Done.
cheers
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.

My o my... these are beautiful! Love them.
Wow! You've done a lot of sewing. Your garden looks lovely.
Your hexie quilt looks fabulous. I love the way you have set it.
Love your flowers!!!
Your hexie quilt is delightful, thanks for sharing...I have to get in gear and start making hexies again---sorta have been behind!

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.
Just beautiful hexies!! Just a gorgeous quilt!!
Wow...lovely flowers.....:)
Love the Hexies, they look fabulous! I suppose even tho complaining, the red dish cloth was actually being used by someone other than you!!!
Your hexies are looking soooooooo pretty!
