The only place to be over the past few days in lovely humid old Queensland has been somewhere cool. Hexies and air-con seemed a good match to me.
Progress has been made with the cream row of hexies on Brinton Hall. I just had to join two to see what it looked like......
It looks a bit white there but the fabric actually has a little tan floral design and is much nicer in real life. I see lots and lots of 1 inch hexies in my future!
This month's Rainbow Scrap Challenge colour was "SEA GREEN"
Here in began the 'challenge ' part for me....not a colour I would usually have in my stash. However during my search for something 'suitable ' I discovered a little bundle of charm squares...where from I have no clue, but I found a little co-ordinating group of sea greenish squares.....
Plus a perfect birdie red for the applique....very chuffed! So I set to work and now February is done and dusted...early for once lol!
Woo hoo!
The other little keep cool activity I engaged in was diving into the inspiration between the covers of some 'no longer wanted' art mags...
I do hope that you are managing to keep your cool also.
Namaste and Blessings Michelle xxx
ooh! well done! satisfied the sea green task! love your birdy
ReplyDeleteSea green is a lovely colour! We are surviving the heat and are not looking to next weekend, as it's supposed to be a real stinker.
ReplyDeleteWell done with the sea-green work Michelle, very pretty!
ReplyDeleteOh the heat sounds so nasty... so much of the East is really copping it bad... & the West is not really getting consistent summer weather... strange times!
We woke up to frost this morning. Lovely hexxies. I have only made a Hexxy turtle so far. I must try something bigger
ReplyDeletewell done with your block... it's perfect. I'm building sea green houses today

What a great way to use sea green. Such a pretty bird. Your hexies are looking wonderful!
ReplyDeleteYour hexies are so pretty and I love the little sea green block .
ReplyDeleteI think there are a LOT of hexies in your future for this. Such a soft pretty sea green...I really want to join in that ...need more time...less work...
ReplyDeleteBlock is perfect. Stay cool
ReplyDeleteIt was a beautiful warm day yesterday but cooler here today with gusty winds. I love that little bird block.
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely way to keep cool. I have been house painting in the mornings, by the afternoons I look like a zombie frozen in time (cant move these old bones). Take care, Guida.
ReplyDeleteHexies look great....love the February block...but of course it has a birdie....This heat is hanging around with no end in sight...tks for air-con.
ReplyDeleteYour hexies are looking fantastic Michelle, that sure is the best way to keep cool!! The Feb block is beautiful too...I have yet to search out fabric to use!! Enjoy those magazines.
ReplyDeleteAm loving how Brinton Hall is looking Michelle, and you have done beautifully with your rainbow challenge for this month
ReplyDeleteYour hexie blocks are looking great Michelle. Roll on cooler weather I say!!!
ReplyDeleteGlad you have found a way to stay cool and continue doing the things that you enjoy. I am sure there is still more heat to come.
ReplyDeleteYour Brinton Hall blocks look very god. Love the beginning of the red bird block.
ReplyDeleteOverhere it is cold and wet ;-)
Well done on finding some Sea green - I'm thinking I may have trouble with that colour too - but haven't had a search yet! Your wee block is very sweet.
ReplyDeleteYes, inside and stitching is the only choice. I am impressed with the solution to your scrap challenge. You have created a lovely block.
ReplyDeleteHi Michelle I love your sea green block,very cute.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your new mags my friend xx
I spoke to my sister who lives on the other side of Australia - she said it was 41 degrees. I imagine your weather is similar. Keeping cool is definitely in order! Your hexies are wonderful and the sea green looks perfect!
