I cannot believe that August is over half way through.
WENDY gathered us together once again.
My evening consisted of little finishes. Firstly the blanket stitch on my latest Nature's Journey blocks.
And then I did some work on Heartstrings. Stitched 2 Dresdens together.
Which now makes four.....only 5 to go :)
I then stitched the 4 little hexie flowers needed for the centre to see what they look like......I had prepped all the hexies earlier.
I am quite pleased at how they all look together. Sometimes when you choose fabrics you are never quite sure until you see some progress.
So all in all a nice creative evening ....thank you Wendy.
Its been a bit wild and windy here over the weekend so today I have curled up in my favourite chair and devoured a wonderful book.
I think I have found a new author to enjoy......not at all what I expected! A tale that shows just how far women have come and the choices we take for granted!
I hope you have all managed to enjoy your weekend.
Namaste and blessings Michelle xxx
Your finishes are very pretty, Michelle! It's very freezy chilly here today......the wind chill has kept it below 6 deg.

Lovely sewing Michelle... & you accomplished such a lot too... xox
ReplyDeletelovely stitching and your hexies and dresdens are gorgeous!!
ReplyDeleteI’m just catching up on reading your blog and especially enjoying seeing your Natures Journey blocks grow. My version is on our bed at the moment after being tucked away since I finished it back in 2015. Yours will be beautiful. I’m also enjoying seeing Heart Strings progress. I’ve bought the stitchery panel and have the pattern on order, but nothing started yet. Don’t you two look so happy in your wedding photo. Where does the time go?
ReplyDeleteThe hexies, flowers and dresdens look wonderful together. Lots of progress.
ReplyDeleteYour stitching is coming along beautiful.

A productive evening Michelle - I like the Dresdens and hexies together. xx
