WIP Wednesday - all about hand sewing

This week is all about hand sewing.

Hand sewing binding onto cushions for the new sofas.

Fussy cutting fabrics and papers for Katy's Spring Carnival design.

And hexagon piecing, lots of hexagon piecing *
* These have been made over the last 2 years not the last week!



Linking up with Work in Progress Wednesdays

The quilt I really wanted to make

Ever since I first started quilting I had this quilt  by Cluck Cluck Sew bookmarked and later favourited on Flickr and later again pinned on Pinterest.  I don't quite know why it has taken me until now to make it.





I bought the fabrics 18 months ago and have been making HSTs every so often for the last 9 months or so.





For some unknown reason I decided that the 3 weeks before Christmas was the ideal time to finish this.





Thankfully it quilted really easily!





I love this one!

Tilda Project

Earlier this week I blogged about the new additions to my Tilda stash. Well here is the picture of what all these projects are eventually (!) going to be . . . .

Lots and lots and lots of hexagons joined together in a more modern Grandmother's Flower Garden. They are done by hand using paper piecing. This is how I originally learnt to do patchwork when I was about 12! All the centres will be made from the same red fabric pictured and the petals will be 4/5 different red and blue coloured fabrics. The path is white with tiny pale pink dots. I think I need about 100 flowers to even consider a quilt. 20 down, 80 to go . . . .
