FNSI November

 Thursday evening i traced out a Christmas stitchery to do

and made a start. Friday for FNSI i stitched some more

Recently i noticed a flower spike shooting up out of a bulb & thought it was a late flowering hippeastrum but to my surprise it turned out to be a spider lily

i was a wee bit excited to see it as it hasn't flowered in years & i thought i'd lost it.

The blood lilies have all bloomed & the look quite a sight

Thankyou to Wendy for hosting us again

Happy Stitching,

projects

 Although i'm enjoying sewing the little hexie project i felt i needed a break to do something else. :)

The hexies so far. Fabric on left is for the next round. 

I went looking in the kit box hoping i had something ready to go as i really didn't feel like doing any tracing or cutting. I found a pattern i'd bought several years back with a pre-printed panel. Perfect. Alas it was stitched with Cosmo threads so i had to spend quite a while finding DMC equivalents. 

I'd noticed that the blood lilies had blooms starting to form & 2 had broken out

several more coming up in this pot.

only 1 in this pot.

The hydrangea has flowered & looking quite pretty. 

Happy Stitching,

 Yesterday i laid out the Patchwork of the Crosses blocks to see how they look & to take a photo. A bit hard when there is so many blocks & a photobomber. This one was the best of all i took. :)

Now to start prepping all those squares to join the blocks together. :)

Happy Stitching,

FNwF November

 I started FNwF early as i was determined to get the 56th(& last) block of Lucy done. I started here

& it's finished. 

I may have started a new project. :) :)

Called Mrs Holder's Hexagons. I spotted it recently on Instagram & looked it up to find out it was a project from Temecula quilt company back in 2016. It's done in a concentric circle pattern & i'm using 1/2" hexies to make it.

This is the picture of it from Temecula quilt Company blog.

I spotted a flower forming on one of the hoyas i have

then happened to look up the tree where tendrils have taken themselves & spotted one which had opened.

Then after all the lovely rain(thunderstorms) i found a bloom on the on the crocus which has since had a 2nd bloom.

Pop over to hostess Cheryll's blog to see who joined in.

Happy Stitching,
