Rainy Days

 Well we have gone from blue skies creating a delightful backdrop for my gorgeous Frangapani....


To wet, wet and wet!
I have focused my sewing attention on Letter to My Daughter blocks. I have made all the tiny hexie flower rosettes and am working away at the little stitcheries during hospital treatment appointments. They really are such cute little stitcheries. 

I have also stitched another applique block....this block was the one that drew me to the quilt for my DD. Her name means "Honeybee" and loves this motif on all kinds of things....so it seemed perfect.  Pardon the pun....but such a sweet block!
Today I had some time at my machine.....
And now the first piece is assembled......the little stitcheries and hexie flowers need to be added to the top row of squares. 
Not being a fan of machine sewing I am going to habe to be very strict with myself with assembly! Lol!
Tags are getting quite close to the end. I thought I would share just how full my binder ring is at this point in time.


Tag 47 - Birdy......love a spotty dotty appliqued birdy.
Tag 48 - Sheaf Stitch.....a stitch I had seen in books but never executed.....enjoyed it!
Well lovely people.......as it's the maids day off I guess its up to me to make dinner AGAIN lol! So I best get to it!
Thinking of all my country friends caught up in rain deluge and flooding.....stay safe!
Namaste and Blessings Michelle xxx

  1. Such a sweet quilt, Michelle! Love the frangipani.....sadly they don't grow here, although I had one in the Big Smoke. Stay high and dry up there, we are managing to so far.

  12. Your stitchery is amazing, it warms my heart going through the photos on your post. When God was passing out the creative gene you must have ran around and got in line twice :)

  13. Your Frangipani look magnificent in the sunshine Michelle. All the plants are loving the rain and putting on a show. The collection of tags is becoming a wonderful work of art, something to be handed down. And the quilt is just darling, a pretty design and sweet fabrics and embroideries. Can't wait to see the end result. xx

  17. I think the weather has been crazy all over the place. Good to have lots of sewing when you have to be inside.
    Lovely to see all the sweet little stitcheries coming to life and the hexie flowers are lovely.
    The bee bloc is gorgeous.
    And the blocks are looking great together, so you must like some machine sewing?
    The tag collection is amazing.
