Have become this.....
My "Wings and Pretty Things " is officially a flimsy now. After some quilting magic happens I am going to bind it in the beautiful red spot that started this whole quilt.
Now thats its 'officially' finished, I can 'officially' begin Natures Journey. As I told you in a precious post I have the centre background pieced and ready to go. But on studying the pattern closer I decided I wasn't a fan of the different block in each corner of the final border. Call me anal but I decided to change it to 4 blocks the same and that being 4 hexie flowers.....so that was my first foray into the new quilt.....little hexies!
More of this happened too.....
So there are now 3 Flowerville blocks assembled....
I do love those fabrics.....please excuse my daggy '70s carpet in my sewing cave....but it keeps me warm! Lol!
Over the past couple of weeks I have dived between the covers of these two books. Courtesy of my dear Daughter and enjoyed both....but to be honest I was hoping for different endings *sigh*
Now if I can manage to move myself from my beautiful sunny spot I have a little bird on my drawing board wanting attention.
To all my friends in Victoria. I am thinking of you. Please stay safe.
Happy stitching!
Namaste and blessings Michelle xxx
such a beautiful quilt above Michelle. I forgot about the stichville - I have that to start also. Gosh I'm terrible. I've really been inspired by cross stitch of late. So many nice things to occupy my mind in these troubled times. Our covid cases here in Vic at the worst ever today. I think we will all be in lockdown again soon. Take care.
ReplyDeleteSuch a lot of beauty on your blog, as usual, such pretty blocks and stitcheries. The little bird sitting on a spool, I think it is, looks so nice!
ReplyDeleteWings is such a beautiful quilt Michelle, congratulations on the finish. Looking forward to seeing your next quilt. Your Flowerville blocks are lovely. More books to add to my to be read list!! The virus is scary here in Vic at present, I too am thinking lockdown will return.
ReplyDeleteWings and Things is just gorgeous. Love the spotty fabric for the binding.
ReplyDeleteOh, Michelle - that is such a pretty quilt! So are your flowery blocks. Did the books not have happy endings? Sometimes that is just the way it has to be.
ReplyDeleteLove the top quilt and the colors of the other is lovely, I love these colors. The book of Celeste Ng, have I too (in Dutch of course), not read it yet. You have a pretty little bird on your fabric. Greetings and stay well.

So much loveliness Beautiful Iam a fan of Nicole Alexander Never read the other one xx
ReplyDeleteYour flimsy looks stunning Michelle. I am just playing catch up on all your posts as have been away down to my Mums again. Those books look really interesting - I love it when folk post books they have enjoyed. xx
ReplyDeleteLove your cute appliqued birdie! Nothing wrong with changing things on a quilt to appease one's own eyes. I rather like it. Well done finishing it. We are keeping safe but have absolutely no faith in our Premier or PM. So many mixed messages and such ineptness is staggering. Questions are being asked to no avail.
ReplyDeleteThis is a fantastic flimsy finish. Love all the gorgeous detail in your work. And the red spot binding will be perfect.
ReplyDeleteAnd the Flowerville blocks are looking wonderful.
Wings is beautiful Michelle - I have loved watching this quilt grow. Cant wait to see it all beautifully quilted as well. Are those little 1/2" hexies? Your Flowerville blocks look great - so many little pieces but the effect is beautiful. xx
ReplyDeleteLove the quilt! What is the line of fabric you used that is under the little hexies. I have been doing a lot of reading lately will look up your books.
ReplyDeleteI always enjoy seeing what you are stitching and boy, this one is so pretty, Michelle. I have the papers and I am going to try hexies too this summer as a special sewing thing to mark my bd. Happy Stitching, dear!
