FNSI August.

 I started the day making RSC blocks




after taking a break for lunch i thought i would add the borders to the little tablemat i'd been stitching. Well i should've just stopped at the thinking. I cut the pieces at 6" instead of 10". Putting them aside to hopefully use them in other projects & with the correct size now cut i set to adding the borders. Not as  easy as the look. Quite a bit of reverse sewing until they sat right, still not sure a couple of them are right. Oh well it's done now. All ready for some handquilting

all done & ready for the binding
The Azaleas are blooming nicely this year


This poor plant i thought it was going to die. I repotted it & gave it some fertiliser & crossed fingers. Up until a few days ago i still thought yep it's going to cark it but low & behold it has blooms happening. Yay. The blooms on it a so pretty it would've been sad to have lost it.

Happy Stitching,

I do like your little Christmas mat. The buttons are a nice embellishment. It should sit fine, now that it is quilted. Your azaleas are pretty, mine are still a little while off flowering. It is always nice to be able to save a cherished plant.

Some pretty projects Jeanette. Sometimes things just need a good repot & a cut back & a feed ... & they come away again. Its great that you could save it. xx

Nice job on all the aqua blocks. I love the quilting you did on the Christmas piece, especially adding the buttons. Congratulations on saving the plant. I love azaleas. We had tons of them where I grew up in south Alabama. I don't think we can grow them in the mountains.
