I have not been blogging much as I am not permitted (!) to be on the computer too much these days LOL. This does mean that in the evenings I get exposed to a lot of television (!!) and (luckily) quite a bit of hexagon handwork too :-)
Here are my hexagons so far...
I have a ways to go. I still need to border the rose panel with cream roses and attach it. This I will do last. I am sewing the hexagons in sections. The big gap will become a whole new section which I will join later. (At the moment it is still in 3 sections.)
I got a wonderful and very welcome surprise from Guðrún! More gorgeous rose fabrics.
These have already been added to the above sections, but just need to be stitched on. Thanks Guðrún. The sweets were very welcome too :-)
I have finished the tree skirt. I struggled with the tension on the back for ages and in the end thought that for something that will be used once a year for a few weeks and only viewed from the top I am not going to agonise over it. So it's done and already in use.
This week I also received an African block from Kate for our private blockswap.
We have now decided to swap smaller blocks so that we can potentially work on the borders of our very unplanned quilts.
Thanks Kate, this is a really cute block.
Also on an African theme. Mother has finished 2 scarves for Ruth's Scarves for Africa project...
In case I don't get any more computer time between now and Santa's visit, I'd like to wish you all a Very Merry Christmas and thanks for visiting!
