Happy New Year to you ALL
I wish you all a wonderful sewing year for 2015. Last year went far to fast for me, family wise and sewing wise. It came and went and left me with many projects not completed. So this year I’m not planning to do as much and hopefully I get some of them done. I would like to complete quilting my 1930’s Grandmothers Flower Garden quilt
1930’s Grandmothers Flower Garden quilt
that I’m trying to complete for some unknown quilter from the 30s!!!!! Plus my own Hexagon quilt I started in 2010 with Sue Daley called This Goes With That!!!!!!
Sue Daley’s This Goes With That bottom 1/4 of hexagons are just placed there not sewn together photo taken in 2013
I will work on these when I’m not working on my lovely Love Entwine of Esther’s.
Where I’m up to on my LE at the end of 2014
I have roughly 50 hexagons to add before the top is finished, hexagons are made they just need to be sewn together!!!!!
I have pinned the hexagons from the right side and have started sewing these together the last few nights.
Have taken this photo to remind me where I placed these hexagons; they are now in a little pile in the drying cabinet waiting for the day when I get to them,??????
I also have around 50 plus blue hexagons to make for the backing around the edge of the quilt??????
I have offered to do some sewing repair s for a local shop, this is a fun project that i do in the evenings when watching or listening to a DVD.
Soft toys waiting for a little TLC
One of my Xmas present was a stand for my sewing room from my DS and DDIL
Quilt stand with some quilts I am working on this year I hope??????
DS and DDL’s quilt I made them many years ago, I never added the binding and Laure gave it to me just before Xmas and asked if I would do it for them. It has been well used and washed over the years so my tacking must be very very good. LOL This is one of my first quilts I made this while living in PNG in the 90’s where I learnt to quilt. I fell in love with the dresden plate design and still love using it.
I’m off to link with Esther now http://www.estheraliu.blogspot.com/
Till next time happy sewing every one who does sew????

Did you know that one white piece in between the two flower vases on Love Entwined is missing the tiny red circles? I wasn’t sure if you just hadn’t gotten to that or if you missed it – not to be rude or anything! I really and truly do wish to finish Love Entwine but I must finish a different applique quilt first as it is nearing the end – I can’t seem to concentrate on more than one applique quilt at a time anymore.
I love your hexies quilts and you have a lot of work still. I am trying to finish up some projects and then try to go a little slower and really take my time on projects but doubtful that will happen.
