Happy Stitching,

FNSI July

 I made an early start for FNSI. I'd stitched this block from Joy up a week or so ago all it needed were the borders

Again with the left over triangles i made up 2-1/2" blocks.

I didn't get block 20 made last week for sewcialites 3 & block 21 was now out.

Block 20. I didn't realise until it was altogether i'd used the same blue fabric. Well it stays as i don't want to waste fabric cutting up a different colour.

Block 21

Joy is also doing a sampler sew along so i thought i would join in with that too. First block is a simple 4 patch.

After taking a break it was time to decide on what handwork to stitch in the evening. I chose to make some propeller blocks. I've finished one & ready to stitch the 2nd. 

Happy Stitching,

 This months colour is aqua

A while back a lady posted about a quilt she made of baskets & offered her pattern to anyone interested. So i put my hand up for it. :) I've made 5 of these tiny baskets so far. They measure 2" on a 4" background. All needleturn.  

Last blog post i meant to add some photos of plants flowering in my garden so here they are

Checking my plants one day to see if they needed watering i had a pleasant surprise. I'd bought this bulb last year & wasn't sure it had survived. I was a wee bit excited to see it flowering.

At a recent plant fair i found this little cutie. I did leave it on the ladies stall when i first went past but as i was waiting for coffee i decided if i went back & it was there then it was mine. The lovely lady even dropped the price for me when i told her my little story. :) I'd never seen such a small syngonium. So many plants could've come home with me that day but i rushed out of the house leaving my trolley behind. Ah well probably just as well as i have to many pot plants as it is. :) :)

It is in a bit of a sorry state in this photo but looks much better now. :)
