Thank you
WENDY from SUGARLANE QUILTS for bringing us altogether once again.
After some "hunting and gathering " I had quite the creative time.
Friend Fiona and I chatted remotely and stitched which was a very nice catchup.
I basted the second row of elongated hexies for Wings while we chatted......
The second row of joining was also begun....
In the afternoon I got back to my pencils and continued working on my current art project......a beautiful rose and blue banded bee. I am loving drawing this. An art friend gave me permission to draw his fabulous macro photo....I am lucky that clever friends think of me and my pencil obsession!
I love it so much.....I CANNOT leave it alone!
When the good natural light was gone however I did set it aside.....until later today!!!
I settled down to watch my regular Friday night ABC favourites and worked on my
"Sew a little happiness " project. I wanted to finish this little block of work....
The little rabbit represents the very strange Easter we all had!
I got a little further with the next block of work.....finishing the sunflower and starting on the cotton reel.
I am really loving this project.....not sure what to do with it once it's done though.
I was thinking maybe a big block keeper.......Definitely no rush!
Have a lovely weekend everyone.....I have a date with pencils, a rose and a pretty bottomed bee.
Namaste and blessings Michelle xx
