Yesterday Chooky has a zoom gathering, ladies from Aus, NZ, Canada, UK, the US, Germany and Norway sat and chatted and stitched together. People came and went throughout the day depending on their commitments. I had prepared some half inch hexies and managed to get quite a few done
I have to admit I appear to have an issue counting to six.....
One short when I came to sew them together! 😊
Never mind that can be quickly fixed.
Yesterday as it was a bit cooler hubby planted some new plants into the pots at the front door, fingers crossed they like living there!
Today the lovely Jill dropped off a bag of her left over bits for me to stamp and sew into the cropped diamonds
Lots to play with here.
Between Christmas and New Year I wanted to do some sewing on the machine, it had been for a service so I wanted to see how it was working
I sewed together these two beautiful pieces of summery sunshine fabric the lovely Michelle sent me for my birthday, I think I am making a bag. One side is quilted, the other is yet to be done. So much for my no new projects until I finish something! I have two on the go already!!
The machine is running beautifully, no more pulling to the left and the thread cutter is working again, as is the sensor that tells me when the bobbin is nearly empty!
Happy stitching.
Have you now made the sixth little hexie?
