A few weeks ago I cut spotty fabrics into hexies, with a plan to use them with yellow to bulk them out. But as I started stitching them together I realised that even with the added yellow there wasn't going to be anywhere near enough to carry on with this density of flowers.
Lisa had two brilliant ideas when she was home last week.
Firstly to do two bands of flowers, top and bottom, and to then have the middle mostly yellow with random flowers and hexies dotted around.
Secondly, for her to take some tacked hexies on the train and she would stitch them on the way home.
Yay! Thank you Lisa, love you xxxx
I started this blog for me - it expanded to show BFF Jackie what I was doing - and a few others have invited themselves too - everybody welcome! Mostly about patchwork, with random comments about embroidery, family and life in general, come on in, put your feet up, and I'll put the [virtual] kettle on.
I love them they are fab, i love the yellow, well done Lisa!!
ReplyDeleteVery, very purdy and huge pats on the back to Lisa too.
ReplyDeleteGreat idea of Lisa's and so sweet of her to help sew them. These hexies look great against the yellow, btw :)
ReplyDeleteI've been seeing lots and lots of hexagons around. I love them. 😊
ReplyDeleteGreat team effort!
ReplyDeleteWhen you're done Lisa, I have a list!
ReplyDeleteThe hexies are gorgeous, and how wonderful to get a helping hand stitching them.
ReplyDeleteHmm, so does Lisa stitch for hire? I have several EPP pouches full of projects...
