9 patches

 Up to week 10 in the tiny 9 patch challenge. There is 100 blocks of each size. I've surprised myself that i'm still making them. :)


Possibly 20 or more years ago i was given a different blood lily to the one i had but i think it has only flowered once in all those years so imagine my surprise when out watering one day to discover a flower. I was waiting for it to open properly to take a photo but grubs got to it. :(
I turfed that grub off & hoped it would open more but when i went back a day of so later another grub had found the flower. 

Happy Stitching,

Mini blocks are just so darn cute. Thank you for putting them into size perspective next to the scissors.

Oh no. Your thriving flower was working so hard, years it appears, to show itself only to be shot down.
