A small gift from me to one of you, lovely lovelies♡Thank you all for your beautiful words re my blogging anniversary♡ Each one of you sprinkled many a smile into my day♡ My Pete pulled out a name from the hat and.......Maggie, it seems the fabric squares will find a home with you. That's a wee bit exciting. So, if you can email me your postal address, I will pop these pretties in the post sometime this week to fly over land and sea, to you. How fun to think a collection of my fabrics will be fashioned into something beautiful, in another part of the world. Lovely Maggie, I wonder what you will fashion from these pretties?? Just look at all those joyous fabrics! Makes my heart sing!

Riley's woolly makes are finished. A knitted jumper and a crochet vest. I stitched a cute Tilda bunny, too, to be sent with the woollies to Riley for Easter. Goodness, the bunny was fiddly. The pieces were so teeny tiny for my fingers to manipulate. I'm guessing, as sweet as the little bunny is, I won't be chomping at the bit to make another anytime soon. Gotta love a bunny dressed in a Liberty fabric dress, though. A teeny tiny bunny for sweet Riley's teeny tiny hands♡</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgM9zG2Y9un7ZnBDnM9QRg7wMvhiTeqt2wHN3OILCwc6tWzIfRwu0IT5vX8xIsWDMnS7ElVB5aumeQesmugm2gnHSyrnbC9i5LpIG-xMrjT37bPsYRf78bwg4EjzvV0BOiKJuD6laVplqHpdrFi0fq3KTewIaQLgivj2OW1BGOJIpzoCe7WKGFSeReibw2Y/s4000/IMG_20240316_145205.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em;

The quilt where hexie flowers jostle for space in a vibrant swath of joyous colour?? Well, I decided to begin the hand quilting. I was going to wait until Old Man Winter descended upon my little place to quilt this quilt but what can I say.....I just wanted to fill many moments with hand quilting happy hexies. Simple quilting with stitches skipping around each hexie flower. You know me, the <i>KISS</i> method of quilting is the mantra I live by. =) There are a few flimsies piling up waiting to be quilted, so best not to wait to whittle down the mountainous pile. Perhaps by Spring there will be a few more finished quilts to wax lyrical about. But then.....perhaps not. I'm looking forward to cosying down in front of the open fire and enjoying a little hand quilting, when the frigid season takes up residence.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEirdJ9ksbCwKQ6xtoMaC50R1niVXrXkDs7DK7a4250-7dovwh4hUgbdMdIQmS45ZnDBl-qUp_Yw9SzlEXArOZLKxaxq52SrdZKY9ym3DVYsyBh-Sa-XFx9HZTS8NKREcir2x0eBIUkWjzCkstU3dZrtWBKj6V9JSAiso4uRSQno3fxG0ZvD5GWHVWS5tHOw/s4000/IMG_20240313_110201.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3000" data-original-width="4000" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEirdJ9ksbCwKQ6xtoMaC50R1niVXrXkDs7DK7a4250-7dovwh4hUgbdMdIQmS45ZnDBl-qUp_Yw9SzlEXArOZLKxaxq52SrdZKY9ym3DVYsyBh-Sa-XFx9HZTS8NKREcir2x0eBIUkWjzCkstU3dZrtWBKj6V9JSAiso4uRSQno3fxG0ZvD5GWHVWS5tHOw/w640-h480/IMG_20240313_110201.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgPQcd7y3Pa9BvyQdv5nEqjznPiM4ZK7gNgPA9KdeShTFyATyAv04yAf4JrAyWY3xlbkylJinKiR5acrFFVXnvPvMP3XBJh-Jek1IMjximeAqtWnRyjUZFswED64DAh1OLW4W9vUD9ec-MmXjcFCVQ9vWB_lYNsli-eokAn2_7f80sqPJ4Z0RtYiRFrZ5pI/s4000/IMG_20240313_105117.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4000" data-original-width="3000" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgPQcd7y3Pa9BvyQdv5nEqjznPiM4ZK7gNgPA9KdeShTFyATyAv04yAf4JrAyWY3xlbkylJinKiR5acrFFVXnvPvMP3XBJh-Jek1IMjximeAqtWnRyjUZFswED64DAh1OLW4W9vUD9ec-MmXjcFCVQ9vWB_lYNsli-eokAn2_7f80sqPJ4Z0RtYiRFrZ5pI/w480-h640/IMG_20240313_105117.jpg" width="480" /></a></div><div><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgCobt2cUAPGTxzeOYxh43lYDJ3-QnVACsMQINGc-C7PvDaRyWrRQt5CQz9TfZ_rddE0mADShFaAowg61kDt75ZpILV-3TlwUKMzBEPtPdhLO5fttEWhU6VBrl3UkC3R_pxDZZ06XHWCpvwKflB1nYJF2uPMeJ3iM3jPj8LXQJGLIixabLZTVZfYud0broN/s4000/IMG_20240315_203337.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4000" data-original-width="3000" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgCobt2cUAPGTxzeOYxh43lYDJ3-QnVACsMQINGc-C7PvDaRyWrRQt5CQz9TfZ_rddE0mADShFaAowg61kDt75ZpILV-3TlwUKMzBEPtPdhLO5fttEWhU6VBrl3UkC3R_pxDZZ06XHWCpvwKflB1nYJF2uPMeJ3iM3jPj8LXQJGLIixabLZTVZfYud0broN/w480-h640/IMG_20240315_203337.jpg" width="480" /></a></div><div><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhZU8V5fkx-2m81zrXdMWM7KiE-AKJfsu_MXyNVcjK1kXo_fCUL6_5VR2U_lmBUxU4khnCUgde0KcG1Zm1wYtjFrDzaZNWaZ-kdBN7ed1Sb87hOg8NytwxHQD3nWnXkqw_F-Lz8CSNoINUcO2iu-1YefPDbaBUGOaj4Vzr7_nRdi02pq6NhKUvIhfbTSPbw/s4000/IMG_20240315_203024.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4000" data-original-width="3000" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhZU8V5fkx-2m81zrXdMWM7KiE-AKJfsu_MXyNVcjK1kXo_fCUL6_5VR2U_lmBUxU4khnCUgde0KcG1Zm1wYtjFrDzaZNWaZ-kdBN7ed1Sb87hOg8NytwxHQD3nWnXkqw_F-Lz8CSNoINUcO2iu-1YefPDbaBUGOaj4Vzr7_nRdi02pq6NhKUvIhfbTSPbw/w480-h640/IMG_20240315_203024.jpg" width="480" /></a></div><br /><p style="text-align: justify;">As it is Sunday I will enjoy a little quilting of my <i>Flower Meadow</i> quilt later this evening and visit the slow stitching ladies over at <a href="https://kathysquilts.blogspot.com/?m=1">Kathy's</a> place.

Old man sun is arising later and nodding off earlier. Autumn. I can smell it. I can see a change in the light. It's a mellow, golden light with the sun's slanted rays beginning to reach further into the rooms of my humble abode, filling it with warm sunshine. One can always sense the beginnings of a new season, can't one??</p><p style="text-align: justify;">This week I was lucky to find a few hydrangeas to pop into a few vases. Mostly, the hydrangeas are donning their autumn shades but if one is to delve deep into the massive bushes there is treasure to be found. =) A few more weeks of blue happiness...how delightful.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">A little more knitting to show this week. Throughout this little while I've continued knitting my sweet Riley's jumper. The back, front and sleeves are finished. Now it just needs to be stitched together and the neckline to be knitted. I might do this later this evening for <a href="https://kathysquilts.blogspot.com/">Slow Sunday Stitching</a>.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">I was listening to a podcast this week; two Norwegian knitting designers, Arne and Carlos, who said knitting and crocheting lowers blood pressure. Normally I would agree with them. The steady rhythm of knitting needles or a crochet hook does usually calm me, lulling me into a meditative mood, but this jumper, for some reason or other I would say there were moments when my blood pressure soared to heights not considered within a safe reading. I have no idea why this jumper caused angst in parts for it's the easiest of patterns. I have knitted many more complicated knitted woollies than this one.....I just kept putting wrong stitches in the wrong place. Let's just say I'm glad this pretty is knitted!</p><p style="text-align: justify;">I've started a crochet pretty for sweet Riley. Another granny square pretty in the softest baby alpaca wool. These soft pastel shades are my daughter's favourite and with Riley's red hair these colours will look perfect on her. Another make-it-up-as-I-go pretty.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj7eV-HdF1oFzCE_EMD56HjYaR3STjWENVohzDysGePh-L3jQvXkzqhv9OXBrWhUhIPk0Ajm33u235RIGYqFCFYg6EPSkqHou0CvnY5J1-lQ0U5unBpu5J8C8_7ncdVhIvnfTqzbCULb2xLraPemHktX4SP2wypcUu2qYMbX6h3dEvjcEabeU3k75WYGm-T/s3868/IMG_20240220_125732.jpg" style="clear: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: justify;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3868" data-original-width="3000" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj7eV-HdF1oFzCE_EMD56HjYaR3STjWENVohzDysGePh-L3jQvXkzqhv9OXBrWhUhIPk0Ajm33u235RIGYqFCFYg6EPSkqHou0CvnY5J1-lQ0U5unBpu5J8C8_7ncdVhIvnfTqzbCULb2xLraPemHktX4SP2wypcUu2qYMbX6h3dEvjcEabeU3k75WYGm-T/w496-h640/IMG_20240220_125732.jpg" width="496" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgJJJ1SCaM7dCEYZ2mbV_f95ALWddD084U0SXuumSLsa7VPevT5zQDJz02PCpSV7ApxlumC4ZaodGl266ysFtRsjE7-UnvJlgXBnjw_4zZokr2w_X8IfTBsnrsdKcQ_JbjHSTJ9eI37g3LTIV7sz5k0DT2OlKSBlC41iNXxvq7FEsKpIZgJdixPTp00kfR0/s4000/IMG_20240224_175443.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4000" data-original-width="3000" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgJJJ1SCaM7dCEYZ2mbV_f95ALWddD084U0SXuumSLsa7VPevT5zQDJz02PCpSV7ApxlumC4ZaodGl266ysFtRsjE7-UnvJlgXBnjw_4zZokr2w_X8IfTBsnrsdKcQ_JbjHSTJ9eI37g3LTIV7sz5k0DT2OlKSBlC41iNXxvq7FEsKpIZgJdixPTp00kfR0/w480-h640/IMG_20240224_175443.jpg" width="480" /></a></div><div><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiEue7TIaKyvvv_0AjSj_stTIFXx3zu0gMf1GW5nBbcVl2oTuVKBn_wdxuuz84bJnLLLJBM0tAuTTZqKiGfA7nkZXjXPXoyO3en0PHwjzOGTvsSvVHKt_THLr0THDe-XJV5JJNIWAmrm1k2uTuJMtDJP7Vnz6-a7B_WNJp54-sKVZKFfmUd8kn58VJb-Ng3/s4000/IMG_20240303_083225.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4000" data-original-width="3000" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiEue7TIaKyvvv_0AjSj_stTIFXx3zu0gMf1GW5nBbcVl2oTuVKBn_wdxuuz84bJnLLLJBM0tAuTTZqKiGfA7nkZXjXPXoyO3en0PHwjzOGTvsSvVHKt_THLr0THDe-XJV5JJNIWAmrm1k2uTuJMtDJP7Vnz6-a7B_WNJp54-sKVZKFfmUd8kn58VJb-Ng3/w480-h640/IMG_20240303_083225.jpg" width="480" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjLJDXIBQbQ7grwx1PhIPNd2ExDGTpuDLDkyz4RSxzn-4W0AJOLPp0jiUWbePyIkryTWXjbDxn9pu8_XoNVPBvjWiYPc0QVZVOp3KRJR3s7kIs_Wey_qeLNoTTx3_zIK45KGfd8lp6M6oF975IP77eXH3suJcUuZ5XUvL_0RFGo8qU4Cna9UclOxpZFxvga/s4000/IMG_20240303_083312.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4000" data-original-width="3000" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjLJDXIBQbQ7grwx1PhIPNd2ExDGTpuDLDkyz4RSxzn-4W0AJOLPp0jiUWbePyIkryTWXjbDxn9pu8_XoNVPBvjWiYPc0QVZVOp3KRJR3s7kIs_Wey_qeLNoTTx3_zIK45KGfd8lp6M6oF975IP77eXH3suJcUuZ5XUvL_0RFGo8qU4Cna9UclOxpZFxvga/w480-h640/IMG_20240303_083312.jpg" width="480" /></a></div><br /><div><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">This week was my blogging anniversary. Twelve years ago I started this blogging journey, boring the 'world' with my musings of my life down here at the bottom of the world and the taking of much too many happy snaps of whatever it is I'm fashioning at the time; and.....flowers......oh the flowers. I thought to celebrate this 'momentous' occasion I would have a giveaway. I've been cutting 4" squares for a charity quilt and as I did this I thought wouldn't it be fun to gift one of you lovely lovelies a bundle of 4" squares from my fabric stash. So, out came the rotary blade and a glut of fabric squares eventuated. Let me know in the comments if you would like a sample of my fabrics. If you are not adverse to square after square of florals and 1930's fabrics, then you may just like this pretty bundle. There are about 160 fabric squares.....which equals 4 packets of charm squares.....so, not bad. Oh, I must mention that there is a little fraying on the edges but that should be okay. I know not why this is so as the fabric squares have been sitting in my armoire and have not been handled at all. Perhaps there are little beings who come out in the early hours of the morning and play with my fabrics within the confines of the armoire?? Yes...that must be it. =)</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj-OVqxwap-f5zAymYB5AaLq4NnxnnKdVwqWdn_MJipHWf723V_jC_K1smy8d8IJeYPYvDnwhVF3RS4qfkklrRh8c5ecY3E0ZKIVWcEX2rmpaZRdfzDvhPUGu4tkkks2WdTLSGHMt1yaCOPVR8FBhW9qDtHojy01xs9PUj0PxqjUoqdTh3VlSv9BQC4gfNH/s4000/IMG_20240302_215352.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3000" data-original-width="4000" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj-OVqxwap-f5zAymYB5AaLq4NnxnnKdVwqWdn_MJipHWf723V_jC_K1smy8d8IJeYPYvDnwhVF3RS4qfkklrRh8c5ecY3E0ZKIVWcEX2rmpaZRdfzDvhPUGu4tkkks2WdTLSGHMt1yaCOPVR8FBhW9qDtHojy01xs9PUj0PxqjUoqdTh3VlSv9BQC4gfNH/w640-h480/IMG_20240302_215352.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjLqxC0JXfZxoakM8Y6oldleCIBEjsfc9gNurTEXsJqa8RrPyskmI0jA-lr_70swPY-ReW1EOSj-BGXIdOjmPPNYShdKgUmhK6gGEOdPe5zLSzcbx6FCgI5AkiCkISN1K4ZI-7wLLYfcMdiy_S1i8o5tQWA-JE83R-FK4CZnD_LJdzAldBEATGn5Vav4wDe/s4000/IMG_20240302_215300.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4000" data-original-width="3000" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjLqxC0JXfZxoakM8Y6oldleCIBEjsfc9gNurTEXsJqa8RrPyskmI0jA-lr_70swPY-ReW1EOSj-BGXIdOjmPPNYShdKgUmhK6gGEOdPe5zLSzcbx6FCgI5AkiCkISN1K4ZI-7wLLYfcMdiy_S1i8o5tQWA-JE83R-FK4CZnD_LJdzAldBEATGn5Vav4wDe/w480-h640/IMG_20240302_215300.jpg" width="480" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">I mentioned I'm stitching a charity quilt for a fundraiser. It's a simple quilt with 4" floral fabric squares framed with bright and happy complementary kona solids. Florals again. =) Well, I am trying to use up my stash. A simple quilt which will be easy and quick to piece together and then machine quilt. Hopefully, my quilt will find it's way to someone who loves bright and happy colours, and pretty flowers. Surely there is someone out there who will not be adverse to my little quilt. =) I kid you not, there are many who live in this far rural outpost who are colour-phobe! Browns, browns and then some reign supreme in these environs. Oh dear, perhaps if the quilt finds its way into their home it will persuade them to see colour, colour, colour in a new light. Perhaps they will gingerly tickle their toes over to the other side....the land where glorious colour abounds. Perhaps they'll take a walk on the wild side. Forgive me....I'm being a tad mischievous.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhuWxANpCQxbuAW8dPaPL6JaF90q56vIKDicf4ISE2lt4vsWS_4OcFQJEzzt-Uzm5ZkGWlbdFJIOXDHQmiZZE1xI8wsgjYi-Hjc9FOiTQVMljpq18GpRmxlp-FyPPGM_XA49c6xKfaQK_EQYFBGDFTbfsxKNH-LzItPnORTuqC3w-Unq-69bDXx9OCUTVfR/s4000/IMG_20240302_214740.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3000" data-original-width="4000" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhuWxANpCQxbuAW8dPaPL6JaF90q56vIKDicf4ISE2lt4vsWS_4OcFQJEzzt-Uzm5ZkGWlbdFJIOXDHQmiZZE1xI8wsgjYi-Hjc9FOiTQVMljpq18GpRmxlp-FyPPGM_XA49c6xKfaQK_EQYFBGDFTbfsxKNH-LzItPnORTuqC3w-Unq-69bDXx9OCUTVfR/w640-h480/IMG_20240302_214740.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><div><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjcFWrkYSKDj6V9Vw6PoQA0rCLu-jhL1cRTyo_LLePLB9EIdpeWUZANUwpjzPsAGKqUdwu_e5dwa41X0IFpsgsQrjgqmCJkigxm_PxXmBtmclBsHbuBsB7JdEhk1iSyvrcZM7K_9kO92fsUQxrrg8nj-ZxxWT70rxnwv6SG95ZVUeaWZZ7WDrtPxza0gZOx/s4000/IMG_20240303_081207.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3000" data-original-width="4000" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjcFWrkYSKDj6V9Vw6PoQA0rCLu-jhL1cRTyo_LLePLB9EIdpeWUZANUwpjzPsAGKqUdwu_e5dwa41X0IFpsgsQrjgqmCJkigxm_PxXmBtmclBsHbuBsB7JdEhk1iSyvrcZM7K_9kO92fsUQxrrg8nj-ZxxWT70rxnwv6SG95ZVUeaWZZ7WDrtPxza0gZOx/w640-h480/IMG_20240303_081207.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><div><br /></div><div>Little jewels of colour glowing in the sunshine<span style="text-align: justify;">♡</span></div><div><span style="text-align: justify;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiG8OitCNpFr_PZDK0zdqk54jcQ72xlSxPNpPmS8LcBZhy7wbKsPgkLVc1ABdspk362Oe7cabw2BvuT9xMIIkddF4cyw_Avp81iJ8WSRY709hDuhRcajhU_HdLh4qBG9yI9-Na7t4_yhel5kw1KIWYUkz8JHSyHTqGBrP1QO7vRtJk3B0IAMbEoTnJLX6NQ/s4000/IMG_20240303_081302.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2958" data-original-width="4000" height="474" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiG8OitCNpFr_PZDK0zdqk54jcQ72xlSxPNpPmS8LcBZhy7wbKsPgkLVc1ABdspk362Oe7cabw2BvuT9xMIIkddF4cyw_Avp81iJ8WSRY709hDuhRcajhU_HdLh4qBG9yI9-Na7t4_yhel5kw1KIWYUkz8JHSyHTqGBrP1QO7vRtJk3B0IAMbEoTnJLX6NQ/w640-h474/IMG_20240303_081302.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">Flowers and glorious colour!

There are those of you, who though I have never met in person it is as if I have known you all my life. I get a sense of "oh.....you too". I feel you and I would have many a merry natter, drinking tea in pretty tea cups as we while away the hours. The Land of Blogging is an inspiring and supportive place where from the comfort of my armchair I visit other lovely blogs and become energised by others' fabulous imaginations and the amazing creativity that is showcased each time. I cannot believe that I have been blogging for all these years, prattling on with stuff and nonsense and that you lovelies keep visiting my little place time after time. I am humbled. I am continually amazed that you do. May I say a very BIG thank you♡ As I wander through my posts over the years; my journal; it brings to mind the pretties I have fashioned, the words I have written.....the photos. Now....if you would like to receive my little fabric squares don't forget to say so in the comments. I will let you know in two weeks time as to whose name was drawn out of the 'hat'. Have a beautiful day, lovely lovelies♡ May there be moments of glorious colour♡ For we all must have a little bright and happy colour in our days♡ May there be many beautiful moments that cause you to smile♡ </div><p style="text-align: justify;">Until the next time..............</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgkUD_nGTZs2hCQVxZKvrLg9e74ZFZ8PfJxfZDmXG7xDw41FyCHXd6Qk54-D39dCzgC_PoO9Ng4s4lAvqwmHh8zaSwf6D3HzCrLfQ1RunKQQfksk__LaBIK16DAq8v6Ipv98S4_XfatHfYUUiDTkh1ruD7h6M2HIiZldTIZtTeIAfOleXAGLyfJwwjmP12C/s4000/IMG_20240302_221740.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4000" data-original-width="3000" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgkUD_nGTZs2hCQVxZKvrLg9e74ZFZ8PfJxfZDmXG7xDw41FyCHXd6Qk54-D39dCzgC_PoO9Ng4s4lAvqwmHh8zaSwf6D3HzCrLfQ1RunKQQfksk__LaBIK16DAq8v6Ipv98S4_XfatHfYUUiDTkh1ruD7h6M2HIiZldTIZtTeIAfOleXAGLyfJwwjmP12C/w480-h640/IMG_20240302_221740.jpg" width="480" /></a></div><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p>Kimhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14782099930159071920noreply@blogger.com46tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5720710250003549011.post-49005820896666761592024-02-18T10:30:00.012+11:002024-02-18T12:38:27.431+11:00Knitting for my sweet Riley♡<p> </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgAdZo5sd013i3Tc3swrwOudEH6Za1XjZMI5Jb2zYg_8eW3PeHJy9bxfUoy8E4ybsIZiiZH9ClbIb2lHubh6hgZMBPUmjTaURXMv0dxeMNZyEdQeOS8rE7m8WVvTwDIYGTFxHiCyr5msoWVc2rE1YsakGlvwYPhNgTptGOsw4_xb5Buw_vmaORU-O2A32F_/s4000/IMG_20240218_102636.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4000" data-original-width="3000" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgAdZo5sd013i3Tc3swrwOudEH6Za1XjZMI5Jb2zYg_8eW3PeHJy9bxfUoy8E4ybsIZiiZH9ClbIb2lHubh6hgZMBPUmjTaURXMv0dxeMNZyEdQeOS8rE7m8WVvTwDIYGTFxHiCyr5msoWVc2rE1YsakGlvwYPhNgTptGOsw4_xb5Buw_vmaORU-O2A32F_/w480-h640/IMG_20240218_102636.jpg" width="480" /></a></div><br /><p></p><p style="text-align: justify;">Hello lovely lovelies♡ A beautiful, Sunday morning greeting to you♡</p><p style="text-align: justify;">This week I've enjoyed a little knitting. A pretty jumper for my sweet Riley. A simple design dancing in colours of green and lilac. There have been many moments this past week where I have put my feet up, settled down in a comfy sofa and relaxed with the constant rhythmic clickety clack of knitting needles.....back and forth, back and forth.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">The pattern is a Patons pattern with simple triangles dancing all over. I'm knitting in a soft 4 ply cotton yarn, Bellissimo Airlie in pretty shades of Lilac and Sea Foam. Love these soft, pretty shades together. Although the pattern is for wool, I decided on a cotton yarn as it's more suitable for the warm climate in which Riley lives.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">So, as I was happily knitting along I realised I made a little boo boo way, way down near the beginning. Being a persnickety gal whose eye tends to always go to the aberration, I unravelled lots and lots of loopy, curly yarn and started knitting again. So, so annoying to see all those stitches disappear into a tangled mess but it isn't long till stitches are picked up and I'm off and away again, immersing myself once more in the repetitive pattern.....relaxed by the rhythmic motion of my knitting needles.......but not too relaxed, as there will be another tangled, loopy mess of unravelled wool!</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both;

I'm sitting in the fernery, with the sunshine filtering in as I knit, purl, knit, purl......with just my thoughts for company; thinking upon my sweet Riley. Just enjoying the rhythmic knitting and the quiet song of the morning......oh.....and a pot of tea......sip and knit.....knit and sip. Later this evening I will visit <a href="Kathy's">Kathy</a> to have a bo-peep at what all the other lovely lovelies who enjoy a little slow stitching on a Sunday are working on. There is always oodles of fabulous inspiration being showcased there. Have a pleasant Sunday, lovely lovelies♡ May you dance a little, sip a little tea and enjoy many smiles throughout your day♡</p><p style="text-align: justify;">A pretty posy of sweet anemones for you♡</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Until the next time.......</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh4e47Lz2VjXic-EhTZ4-VFH0lxo-FTDRr_naFVvqYv_cvz1-Ns5TBK853ndBltrI2ne2nNnZP-aLBg2LWE6hCY71Xx1u8EstYy4pNPI4V5F9_UGQvYcjkpzR4TsPkNkAio9N47Q8bYUDMuZRve6njgoMTOtKlq0K0ZW-ErWS-khc68OTA9ZRWdmoBafBc-/s4000/IMG_20240217_094929.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3000" data-original-width="4000" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh4e47Lz2VjXic-EhTZ4-VFH0lxo-FTDRr_naFVvqYv_cvz1-Ns5TBK853ndBltrI2ne2nNnZP-aLBg2LWE6hCY71Xx1u8EstYy4pNPI4V5F9_UGQvYcjkpzR4TsPkNkAio9N47Q8bYUDMuZRve6njgoMTOtKlq0K0ZW-ErWS-khc68OTA9ZRWdmoBafBc-/w640-h480/IMG_20240217_094929.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p>Kimhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14782099930159071920noreply@blogger.com32tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5720710250003549011.post-84759581098088400452024-02-11T13:29:00.010+11:002024-02-12T09:11:23.832+11:00A Crochet Finish♡<p><br /></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgnD3jfrqWMmlbPFJAfy4SrookADSvJXzDPsbsekVdc0ajEVWnAg5bfymHiQRpMR1kdZFebguf0Vpin4A_hzrcmpjzqoCIBt7hchwhGEEKiiXj2Oev7Fwu5Se5yLKfZFwG0A8LtxscCDUD6e2xzRFerl3VxZ5s7HTcJOb5A9UEnGW8y9Pj4yKWjXmXqEYGp/s3873/IMG_20240206_143927.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3873" data-original-width="3000" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgnD3jfrqWMmlbPFJAfy4SrookADSvJXzDPsbsekVdc0ajEVWnAg5bfymHiQRpMR1kdZFebguf0Vpin4A_hzrcmpjzqoCIBt7hchwhGEEKiiXj2Oev7Fwu5Se5yLKfZFwG0A8LtxscCDUD6e2xzRFerl3VxZ5s7HTcJOb5A9UEnGW8y9Pj4yKWjXmXqEYGp/w496-h640/IMG_20240206_143927.jpg" width="496" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><p style="text-align: justify;">Hello lovely lovelies♡ Another week filled with summer days, summer flowers, and a little crocheting; has sped by. Another week joying in every moment of the warmth of hot days of late summer♡ </p><p style="text-align: justify;">I can sense a change in the light in the early mornings and late evenings. An ever so slight change; so slight that you can hardly notice, but I can sense it. The hydrangeas are beginning to morph into their late summer, early autumn beauty. The sweet peas have come to the end and the roses are beginning to fade as well. The cosmos and dahlias though, are still flowering without any hint that autumn might be thinking about returning to my little place. So, I'll be happily snippity snipping pretty flowers for a little while longer.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">This week I've been crocheting my pretty. I started the sleeves crocheting single rows in different colours; the same colours as in the front and back. As I crocheted along one sleeve and had finished fifteen or so rows I decided I didn't like the sleeve in all the colours. The sleeve together with the granny square front and back just looked too busy.....even for me. What??!! I am that gal who loves busy, busy, busy, but not this time. For this crochet pretty, less is definitely more. <i><span style="font-size: x-small;">But.......you never heard those words escape from my lips. =)</span></i></p><p style="text-align: justify;">So I decided to crochet the sleeves in the same pretty blue as the border dancing around the granny squares of the front and back. And I must say I'm loving this much better. Also, I decided to make shorter sleeves rather than longer ones. I will wear a skivvy or a blouse under my crochet pretty.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">I ran out of the blue wool early in the week and until I could purchase some more, I thought I would attack all those messy, tangly ends and weave them all in. A tedious job but of course, needed to be done. With all the threads having been weaved in I slip stitched the seams together.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">BUT.....</span>after trying on my crochet pretty I didn't like the wide boat neck. It was just too wide so I decided to make the neckline smaller. I just wasn't happy with it. But, to make the neck smaller it meant I had to frog the sleeve, undo the slip stitched shoulder seams, frog the scalloped neckline and unravel the shoulder tabs......AND.... re-crochet everything again! Oh dear, back to where I was last Saturday! Such a pain in the derriere!</p><p style="text-align: justify;">So, Friday and Saturday I began to right the wrongs of my crochet pretty; crocheting along; one treble crochet, two treble crochet, three treble crochet......until all the interlocking little clusters were done and my crochet pretty was finished. Sigh (a very big sigh)....yes finished....at last!</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhlZksiGKbEAMJQmRU5eh9OJcbFkranN9Z8hPUW6kmgbD0P9wr2g7yeIsXbfOvDumDS40KrmRqKb2Kls0zEW38GsaLcZ-oBNCw4HHGi0D9BfxuxczIyXFDZtGCWvhI974J7-4CGqV0_1XhBBtariax8pOkCWzP6XJ7r4GQCChgTeRhCNZCQLbP1yborrw_9/s4000/IMG_20240205_143321.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em;

Another woolly pretty in readiness for the autumn and winter seasons. I finished crocheting the sleeves and joining the seams this morning. I thought about crocheting a scalloped edging around the hem.....I still might. I'm loving this crochet caper. I'm loving how quickly it is to finish crochet pretties. I started this pretty in January and it is finished mid February. Pretty good, considering I kept unravelling as I crocheted along Such a lot of unravelling. =) Though, I might put down my crochet hook for a bit and get out my knitting needles and fashion a woolly for my sweet Riley. She's growing and will be in need of some sweet woolly pretties for the cooler seasons. A cardie perhaps with a pretty pattern. I'm off to browse through some pattern books.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Enjoy your Sunday, lovely lovelies♡ May you delight in many moments that cause you to smile with thankfulness and gratefulness♡ I know I will♡ I'll see some of you lovely lovelies at <a href="https://kathysquilts.blogspot.com/?m=1">Kathy's</a> place later this evening♡</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi50FeCfGiHu0dZwypoN-38CrX3ytlIncsuZALIu-FSgQd6SOqb1ZDZ49KWQtFJ_kzycudH8fz_jCnrH2u7r7Pek1sZVeqL_T89jhbBaELg6rAo0G578mERN_2MF0zwHWVjQUoQG1TuCfj8ORlg-4nhX8ofzTe_7DrTRJzgWOVhU0_BrTcRViEAqhFKeP3A/s4000/IMG_20240211_131327.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3000" data-original-width="4000" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi50FeCfGiHu0dZwypoN-38CrX3ytlIncsuZALIu-FSgQd6SOqb1ZDZ49KWQtFJ_kzycudH8fz_jCnrH2u7r7Pek1sZVeqL_T89jhbBaELg6rAo0G578mERN_2MF0zwHWVjQUoQG1TuCfj8ORlg-4nhX8ofzTe_7DrTRJzgWOVhU0_BrTcRViEAqhFKeP3A/w640-h480/IMG_20240211_131327.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><p style="text-align: justify;">Until the next time......</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgj4g_f4-_BIDxb23FAIKadfRcMvWZAfCVNTo9wyXFaurPP335X4BkvJq7FpPJSU54ewmqDPcY1ZrOX1XaOFSEqi6hD72H2b5q0AvJpXhEGyGKXd2u85IUbEyqxljpBajJLLDyU6tWz5dS_FblAgN5o_yPzHMEb1dhKOep-J0I2Tkh2SI4Ei-zah_v4FOT1/s4000/IMG_20240212_090941.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4000" data-original-width="3000" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgj4g_f4-_BIDxb23FAIKadfRcMvWZAfCVNTo9wyXFaurPP335X4BkvJq7FpPJSU54ewmqDPcY1ZrOX1XaOFSEqi6hD72H2b5q0AvJpXhEGyGKXd2u85IUbEyqxljpBajJLLDyU6tWz5dS_FblAgN5o_yPzHMEb1dhKOep-J0I2Tkh2SI4Ei-zah_v4FOT1/w480-h640/IMG_20240212_090941.jpg" width="480" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div></div>Kimhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14782099930159071920noreply@blogger.com34tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5720710250003549011.post-42565365516838520052024-02-04T08:39:00.009+11:002024-02-10T17:15:12.065+11:00 Happy Crochet♡<p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiSKJrIw-ojuNJIuElJNY4brBUiyH6dHQLA83LgDO9WPiOGXXbWcu1rQZu77KCmkyTT9ewSlF40oTM8b4KgATDE6cXzLEJBm6RHbc58yVxbYUHR-R2Ru7Io17ViVUYGZzcVn2BOr9fdx6mdaHiosqarF80lhKgBqbQXXEFbjQvrfef6RcAG1zqrkVI1_FER/s4000/IMG_20240131_132433.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3000" data-original-width="4000" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiSKJrIw-ojuNJIuElJNY4brBUiyH6dHQLA83LgDO9WPiOGXXbWcu1rQZu77KCmkyTT9ewSlF40oTM8b4KgATDE6cXzLEJBm6RHbc58yVxbYUHR-R2Ru7Io17ViVUYGZzcVn2BOr9fdx6mdaHiosqarF80lhKgBqbQXXEFbjQvrfef6RcAG1zqrkVI1_FER/w640-h480/IMG_20240131_132433.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><br /></div><p style="text-align: justify;">Hello lovely lovelies♡ A beautiful Sunday morning, welcome to you♡ 'Tis a sunny morning here. A lazy day ahead to do whatever I please. I hope you enjoyed a pleasant week. I did. 'Twas another week of summery days to soak in.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">As <i>Into the Woods</i> is now a flimsy I picked up my crochet again. When I last chatted about my crochet pretty I was unsure about the sizing. I thought my jumper might be wider than longer; not so. It's a little longer with the addition of the shoulder tabs. I crocheted two large granny squares; one for the front and the other for the back. As my crochet hook and woolly yarn do-si-do-ed around the large granny squares, interlocking loops of yarn as I went, I just kept holding the pieces against me to determine the size. I know, a thoroughly higgledy piggeldy, let-it-happen kinda approach to determine the finished size. Again, flying by the seat of my pants! I crocheted five rows of a lovely darker blue around the coloured granny square for a border. I also crocheted four rows for the shoulder tabs. It's such a lovely shade. It reminds me of a french blue. I used the blue also for the tabs at the shoulders. YouTube came to the rescue to help me figure out how to shape the neckline. But, oh my goodness, I must admit it took a few attempts. After shaping the neck I then crocheted a scalloped edging. I like the soft look of the scalloped neckline rather than a ribbed one. The neckline is more of a boat neck look, but that's okay. The shoulder seams are joined together with slip stitches.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">I've had a lovely time snapping happy snaps of my crochet pretty.......and flowers. Flowers enhance.....well......everything, don't you think?? They certainly make for a pretty picture. =) Oh, I do love to play 'stylists'. =)</p><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiiOUB7796XmKNPyN2jTrwOiZo71gXz32a9FyScVL49ofmvzrVHhIu0-IuCB9vfmEs7sApjf822lbwa9sGYvvRhXpKmBcR3uQL9mBC8wzu5ch74Q4hgL3G_tkVCQvlCi5LC2YpNC95NrrMFs7UsrRZBfkLai054vV7YwGkDxOm7s5LlcSy7IjlZxY0qquUe/s3553/IMG_20240202_205224.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3553" data-original-width="3000" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiiOUB7796XmKNPyN2jTrwOiZo71gXz32a9FyScVL49ofmvzrVHhIu0-IuCB9vfmEs7sApjf822lbwa9sGYvvRhXpKmBcR3uQL9mBC8wzu5ch74Q4hgL3G_tkVCQvlCi5LC2YpNC95NrrMFs7UsrRZBfkLai054vV7YwGkDxOm7s5LlcSy7IjlZxY0qquUe/w540-h640/IMG_20240202_205224.jpg" width="540" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEihU-bHU8YJk5G7elwqzb4v0AZRcKNcMCM2nbWwv6EjwO4UQlmGRTp9l2uX4Gf9T_5v-fslBiqMWhY7AMfeNo5FV9iIBpj8WmhqTTnKofW8i-TyZIaX-RtM-Tn7qQaQ7AQjp6VfeV2t-twFHfjEZ4MyU_BA7nHS-BM3YaOzHVZeXoTJC3Q7PlW-YenalJEc/s4000/IMG_20240201_100615.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4000" data-original-width="2856" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEihU-bHU8YJk5G7elwqzb4v0AZRcKNcMCM2nbWwv6EjwO4UQlmGRTp9l2uX4Gf9T_5v-fslBiqMWhY7AMfeNo5FV9iIBpj8WmhqTTnKofW8i-TyZIaX-RtM-Tn7qQaQ7AQjp6VfeV2t-twFHfjEZ4MyU_BA7nHS-BM3YaOzHVZeXoTJC3Q7PlW-YenalJEc/w456-h640/IMG_20240201_100615.jpg" width="456" /></a></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjd-hpJa_Mq8vhtFk5NjVU7e9XwGCdXK-Kw4YqIqhgxPsFcLossN0STI0YOAJTQBEKUq_b6XzL2l2gyPTRRylxXDvCntvNlYwMN5o2wRY-oDSMcggWEB6OIBWiGMo5AVcyiHcrhIn5H7q7DV70XhcZj_KW3QP6smbidMRWIIawrmVSEx4wZqdntatlVfa9o/s4000/IMG_20240201_100306.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3000" data-original-width="4000" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjd-hpJa_Mq8vhtFk5NjVU7e9XwGCdXK-Kw4YqIqhgxPsFcLossN0STI0YOAJTQBEKUq_b6XzL2l2gyPTRRylxXDvCntvNlYwMN5o2wRY-oDSMcggWEB6OIBWiGMo5AVcyiHcrhIn5H7q7DV70XhcZj_KW3QP6smbidMRWIIawrmVSEx4wZqdntatlVfa9o/w640-h480/IMG_20240201_100306.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><p style="text-align: justify;">The crochet bag in some of the photos was gifted to me by my lovely friend, Michelle.

Wish oh wish she was here at my little place to keep me on the straight and narrow, woolly crochet path. She could set me right with all my li'l crochet foibles.

The summer sun smiled high in the sky for most of the day casting warm, summery rays everywhere.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">'Tis the last Sunday in January. Oh no! In my land of make believe it would be January all the time. =) February floats in this week. The last month of summer. How sad. I will just have to make the most of the lazy summer days that are left. I'm supposing that all you lovelies way up there are beginning to see the first glimmers that spring is readying to visit. I suppose the snowdrops and daffodils are beginning to pop up from the cold earth. How wonderful for you. After some of the frigid weather you've had.....you deserve a prelude to the gloriousness that is spring.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">But let me talk about summer. It has been a sunny and warm one here. Each lazy day melding into the next. Long, long hours of sunlight. I love all the daylight hours of summer. The garden has been pulling out all stops. The hydrangeas this year have been the best they've ever been, with sweet peas, roses, gladioli, cosmos and now the dahlias are delighting the eye. Though, I must say the weeds have maddingly grown like billy-yo, too. Autumn will be a busy season in the garden wresting with the unruly weeds, me thinks. </p><p style="text-align: justify;">Summer in this far rural outpost is cropping time. Our little abode is surrounded by paddocks as far as the eye can see. One can always see cows happily munching away, and there are always crops growing. This summer poppies abound. Paddock after paddock of tall poppies nodding in the breeze.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj7DY9xD31sPMxKh30XdwQXrF0SI4yzgRCjcu3xzQZHiQs3cZGvJaOqhRw_qvOCoHWKWxlz4TY43hmabLVtrSJa5-xxY0c2bQy4DsUJG0N0-9dulGyt47ILgCIOio0lUsmxzir0VHynDwFBGS0fOEjA5RTrKIHRG6AfOKpnEpgVlsQityMge37zbGPsH2d7/s3916/IMG_20240128_174624.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em;

text-align: center;"><br /></div><p style="text-align: justify;">This week I worked on <i>Into The Woods</i>. I made more triangles and finished the bottom row. It is now a flimsy. I dithered and dithered about a fabric for the border. Unable to find one in the shops I decided on a green and white gingham in my stash. Gingham has always been a favourite of mine. Many childhood memories of nostalgia swirl around hand stitching pretties with gingham. Cross stitch, chicken scratching designs, and even smocking; on tablecloths, aprons, cushions......so many pretties involving hand stitching on gingham. Gingham is a pattern that has stood the test of time. What's not to love about gingham; cheery bright colours and oh-so-fun. Besides, I love the playful feel the gingham adds to this quilt dancing around all the sweet woodland animals.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">But, if you are not thinking......gingham can present a few problems when trying to match up the squares. That is of course if you don't look at the fabric carefully and determine if the gingham has squares or rectangles all over. My eyes, and I might add, my muddly brain assumed I was working with squares. Ahh.....not so. As I found out after trying to match the sides to the top and bottom; alas my pretty gingham danced in rectangles. Needless to say I've spent hours today unpicking with my trusty seam ripper and fastidiously lining up each rectangle, and then sewing slowly to match each rectangle in the seams. I don't think I have ever used so many pins so close together. There was quite a bit of fabric manipulation as well. 'Tis a persnickety gal, that I am. It's been a snail-like progress. 'Tis soooo much easier to use an allover print, or indeed a plain fabric for a border, but I do rather love the green and white gingham, so I'm delighted I persisted. Somehow, with some fabric manipulation and a good dose of luck all my corners match perfectly. The gingham pattern is seamless. Such serendipity.</p><p style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiFiE7lsTK4b2XYrju1c9Wyx_F09dOMj1iQUIv8qe2XJLOsC8iTi21E4mHQFSgt1LPNcCvv4J8l4c8an2qGu85JokGIn2yqviFIRqIvd-HKUlKo1Cg_X1WtSfyhxkLnMKIfRcVsgbRplHqpx3TpNT7kIfh3FsWioCMxeBqx3M0zvOh6uJx8M7ZqRuf18NeA/s4000/IMG_20240127_070123.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em;

I admit there are a few other flimsies waiting in the hand quilting queue. Perhaps they can wait a little longer until Old Man Winter finds his way here. Winter is the perfect season for snuggling under a quilt and enjoy hand quilting. But, I'm not going to give the frigid season another thought; there's more warm sunny days to enjoy. Thank you for visiting my little place, lovely ladies. I might do a little crocheting and join the slow stitching party at <a href="https://kathysquilts.blogspot.com/">Kathy's</a> place later this evening. Hopefully there will be some progress of my crochet pretty to show next week. May you all enjoy a wonderful Sunday♡</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Until the next time.......</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgxsd8BSCFnW4mqMl25aR8wu37oOpb7el5c1NCW8tT5NvjunMz4xsjm4CGbzgBG1ckRtviHkS1P5KAQ_7xrYJ1_tQ7q7VUu3vG8LIeg-14z2mzvlQRY9htWO02q7_BhQUKeKnKJYs6AkAOWr8YDOkGiwyPOQVk6-VXGx4oTbuubVTMUok1bjFNv6FdI8_kQ/s4000/IMG_20240128_163511.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2891" data-original-width="4000" height="462" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgxsd8BSCFnW4mqMl25aR8wu37oOpb7el5c1NCW8tT5NvjunMz4xsjm4CGbzgBG1ckRtviHkS1P5KAQ_7xrYJ1_tQ7q7VUu3vG8LIeg-14z2mzvlQRY9htWO02q7_BhQUKeKnKJYs6AkAOWr8YDOkGiwyPOQVk6-VXGx4oTbuubVTMUok1bjFNv6FdI8_kQ/w640-h462/IMG_20240128_163511.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div>Kimhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14782099930159071920noreply@blogger.com42tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5720710250003549011.post-72435078263834442632024-01-21T10:15:00.018+11:002024-01-22T15:36:55.457+11:00Diamond-ing And Crocheting Along♡<p> </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgkhBVtW7WTuxy_qGvr2oLjXMZPpFpF4KtNpVYuXhmDQjd-ZbJ8lvqUkO-UD3gG_4Ure-Bl_mABzvMv5NioPbJcl6sP7OCI6o59DpU_5KMdeKzimJm_WgC1Hn-7vDx-G0Bv9bA8eY5nViEl4sX8pSGowPWgEHBRdT9cA74DmUBGJKhLYAA3rrOagvWO_ws7/s4000/IMG_20240119_171359.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4000" data-original-width="3000" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgkhBVtW7WTuxy_qGvr2oLjXMZPpFpF4KtNpVYuXhmDQjd-ZbJ8lvqUkO-UD3gG_4Ure-Bl_mABzvMv5NioPbJcl6sP7OCI6o59DpU_5KMdeKzimJm_WgC1Hn-7vDx-G0Bv9bA8eY5nViEl4sX8pSGowPWgEHBRdT9cA74DmUBGJKhLYAA3rrOagvWO_ws7/w480-h640/IMG_20240119_171359.jpg" width="480" /></a></div><br /><p></p><p style="text-align: justify;">Hello lovely lovelies♡ 'Tis Sunday morning here at my little summery place. Just sitting here in the fernery enjoying a cup of tea, looking out the windows to the garden beyond. The sun is playing hide and seek with the clouds. 'Tis lovely and warm, and cheery in my little glass room.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">So, what pretties have I been whiling away my days with this week?? Some more triangles dancing with diamonds were stitched. These are all made now excepting two half triangles which will be stitched to both ends of the last row. Just two more rows to be made then this part of the <i>Into The Woods </i>will be done. Then I have to decide upon what to do for the border. </p><p style="text-align: justify;">I was in the mood for a little crocheting so I started a new jumper. I had so much fun fashioning my granny square cardie last year that I thought I would enjoy some more crocheting. Another granny square pretty but this time instead of a plethora of little granny squares, I thought I would crochet one big granny square with a myriad of colours for the back and front, with the sleeves being rows of double crochet, again in many colours. Once again, making it up as I go. It should be simple with perhaps the only thing that I need to work out is the neckline. Whatever did we creatives do before YouTube?? Tutorial after tutorial is always only a finger click away. Another thing too, is that my jumper needs to be wider than longer, so I cannot, to my heart's content, do-si-do around and around the granny square. Such a shame I don't have the perfect body shape. Where oh where did that tall, willowy slip of a young girl go??!! =) So, I'm supposing my granny square will have a border of one colour wool.......more on the sides than the length. But then, I might happen upon another way of resolving my problem. I suppose I'll figure it out. Fingers crossed! Hopefully I will experience a light bulb moment and my muddly brain will see the light! Of course, any of you who are well seasoned crocheters, if you can set me on the straight and narrow crocheting path with any advice, it would be much appreciated.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">The wool is a beautiful soft, Italian 8ply wool; Sesia Nordica 100% virgin wool, in gorgeous colours. I had a difficult time choosing shades as there are so many lovely colours. It was more expensive than the Australian wool I normally buy, but then, everything that is imported into Australia these days is a tad pricey.</p><p><br /></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both;

A week filled with many pleasurable pastimes. A week filled with enjoyable, slow hand stitching.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">I've been stitching another quilt. A new quilt. A quilt which started with the desire to stitch together lots of EPP diamonds from pretty fabrics, then forming large triangles. Lots and lots and lots of diamonds dancing with vibrantly coloured and patterned, happy fabrics. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">I bought a couple of packets of EPP diamond papers last August and started stitching the diamonds with nothing in mind as to how I would use them in a quilt. I was just happy to make diamonds. Just happy to pet my fabrics. Large triangles eventuated but as more EPP diamonds were stitched together and a number of large triangles happened I began to see how I could incorporate these into a quilt.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Of course, I ventured down the rabbit hole of Pinterest and discovered the Sweet Surrender quilts others had made. Though each quilt was beautiful, with gorgeous appliqued flowers dancing between the scrappy fabric diamonds/triangles, I wasn't in the mood to commit to another flower applique quilt which wood take forever and a day. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">As I stitched the diamonds my thought was to perhaps use a patterned fabric between each triangle. An explosion of busyness....colour and pattern. After all more often than not, <i>more is never enough</i>, is the mantra I live by. =) I am that gal who loves an explosion of colour and pattern in a quilt. Gorgeous colour and pattern makes me happy. I auditioned numerous fabrics from my stash but each one was either not quite right or there wasn't enough fabric. So, I continued making pretty diamonds, forming triangles as I went along. Slow and meditative sewing, one could say, but at the time it helped to quell my troubled mind, to keep my mind from sliding down the slippery slope of anguish and panic during the time my sweet Riley was struggling to recover in the NICU ward, from the meningitis she had contracted in hospital at three weeks old.....(having been born 11 weeks premi).</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Then, I remembered a single bed child's doona I had purchased several years ago from a vintage shop. I loved the whimsicality of the fabric. Now, I didn't particularly start stitching these diamonds with a child-like quilt in mind, but then why not?? I might just fashion a child's quilt to live here in my home. A fun quilt with a child's theme, for me. Of course, it will be waiting for Riley when she visits, to snuggle under with her Granny as we journey into the land of make believe when reading a storybook or two. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">But, I'm jumping the gun just a wee bit. The fabric?? It's lovely. It's filled with utter delight. It's filled with wondrous whimsy. I admit it is not filled with an explosion of dancing colour and pattern, but that's what happens when you quilt, one changes one's mind all the time. =) If one is choosing from one's stash then one goes with what lays hidden within that stash. Though, I do love the colours. Watermelon pinks, raspberry reds, happy yellows, violets and mauves, lime greens, forest greens, jade greens.....all fit perfectly with my scrappy diamonds.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">There are deer, porcupines, hedgehogs, wily foxes, wise old owls, squirrels, singing birds, rabbits and sweet mice resting beneath toadstools. When I look at the doona fabric stories from Aesop's Fables, The Wind in The Willows, Brambly Hedge and all those storybooks I read as a child of animal adventures and escapades in the woods come to mind. It brings to mind all those sweet creatures who live and sleep, and dance and play, in the woods. Hence the name of the quilt, <i>Into the Woods.</i></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEheL2-v30GibHGRKf2qmhBy3dfMmXJYH8ixIRLtgTaq1ech3uHbDEvI4OalWpDRvKzXmvev8CJzWRfnMNFoET_hPrI_ufExysTC2AtDYCnWaxz9XiHKhWoQEPJ-kXBppkHmqcTVIkOXmd3m1OZVHkaPHn-bnldvJsfBYkvdz2wghkmohdVS6lixHEe8Sbvt/s4000/jan14%203.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4000" data-original-width="3000" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEheL2-v30GibHGRKf2qmhBy3dfMmXJYH8ixIRLtgTaq1ech3uHbDEvI4OalWpDRvKzXmvev8CJzWRfnMNFoET_hPrI_ufExysTC2AtDYCnWaxz9XiHKhWoQEPJ-kXBppkHmqcTVIkOXmd3m1OZVHkaPHn-bnldvJsfBYkvdz2wghkmohdVS6lixHEe8Sbvt/w480-h640/jan14%203.jpg" width="480" /></a></div><div><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Of course, flower-filled fabrics abound within the diamonds!

As my diamonds are paper pieced I hand stitched the diamonds to the fabric triangles and then joined the rows, stitching by hand also. I found the doona fabric stretched a little, especially so as I cut the large triangles, so it was easier to piece together by hand. Besides I'm in no hurry to have this pretty finished. I'm just enjoying the slow stitching. I love that this whimsical piece of fabric has been loved by a child in a previous life. I love that it once covered a child as they drifted off to the land of dreams.</div><div><br /></div><div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgRSAPPK0i0ngAnBEIyMBJ0XGqdvfiXl7pu9QIGF9XpCMjlIWxtFVLM5p2IYb65AbC65nUyuls_TfZAcEZ7Ie8slieV-j1x83MyvBTvRe-e4soFfy1xZo5OiQki30cY8VsPGg5sXkd3qqAIRGO-YCIBDVPR3HJcZU-4kyCiB3RR0hI-mA9kM1kOcrHiEX5A/s4000/IMG_20240110_114503.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em;

Another pleasant, summery day to do whatever I please. A walk in the garden?? Gathering bunches of hydrangeas?? Snipping a few roses?? A little book reading?? Of course, a little <a href="https://kathysquilts.blogspot.com/">Slow Sunday Stitching</a> will be enjoyed throughout my day.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Not a lot of stitching has happened here this week, as I have been unwell. A dreaded lurgy I brought home with me. Airports and planes are not the healthiest of places; a Petrie dish of germs. I have enjoyed a little EPP, though. Some EPP diamonds. I bought a couple of packets of EPP diamond papers last September and with no thought in mind as to what I was to do with them.....just 'diamonding' along. Of course, I have a clearer notion of what to do with these pretties now, but that I will chat about next week. I know, I know....such a tease. =)</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Today I wanted to show you a little refashioning of an old and well-worn overcoat that has been in my closet for many years. I purchased it from an op shop about ten years ago and it has seen a lot of wear. So much wear, that if I was going to wear it again it would need a little pick-me-up, indeed, a little gussying up. A comfy, navy blue, pure wool coat with a classic cut.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Last November Pete and I went to San Fransisco to visit our daughter and son-in-law. My daughter said I would need a warm coat as it would be chilly there. So, I dragged out my old, blue little number and pondered how I could add a little beauty, a little oomph. Of course, as it turns out, it was quite warm in San Fransisco and my refashioned blue coat never saw the light of day.......oh well. =) But come this winter, here in Tassie I will wear it all the time.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Last September Pete and I went to our favourite market which turned out quite fortuitous for me. One of those right place at the right moment kinda days. A lady I know from whom I had bought needlepoints once before was going back home to New Zealand to care for her aged mum. So, she had to get rid of her huge collection of needlepoints and other pretties rather quickly. Hallelujah! This was my lucky day. One hundred dollars changed hands and I went home with 27 needlepoints, one gorgeous embroidery piece (<i>which I used on my blue coat</i>) and two gorgeous crochet blankets.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">It's hard for me to resist an old needlepoint. I use these pretties all the time. Fashion a new bag.....tart up an old coat or jacket......fashion cushions, recover old chairs......so, so many pretties can be made from them.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Anyway, back to the old blue coat. I didn't want to go overboard (<i>yeah....I know....kinda hard to believe</i>) so I only added embroidery to the lapels and added pieces of a needlepoint to the pockets. I carefully snipped segments of embroidery from the beautiful piece I acquired from the market, carefully stitching these to the coat with invisible stitches, adding touches of embroidery with stranded embroidered cotton and tapestry wool, here and there. A few crochet flowers snipped from doilies were added into the mix, too.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Goodness, when looking at these photos I see these photos were taken in late September. September, when Spring was just beginning to dance. The waratahs, the daffodils, the bluebells.....all had bloomed to sashay in a happy dance.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhzJSaHRYSCoJKEp6XB3BOFzI_QmAH_offPxQWOOywXSR3hYWXJ9ccKbD2f1v1Kp123CAcvNFSfHY0wxl1r1Ar_OM5VMqGPwQBs5blkLhAq3iVacx7UQpwuWmBrX12kWz6PQXTotueCDNjzjgD0CxwZMgGzErymhj6xQCnr_EqyKjjO4Ofeaf7o2wyBiAdi/s4000/jan7%206.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em;

It was fun to give new life to my old, blue coat by the appliqueing of snippets of pieces of old embroidery and embroidering some new flowers and leaves. In essence a 'new' coat for winter when the frigid season invades my little place again. Plenty of time for me and my old 'new' coat to be sashaying around town. I might just get a few more winters out of my old blue coat yet. But as the very thought of winter chills dem ol' bones of mine I will just soak up all those summery moments of the months of summer I have left. You lovelies, up there in the northern hemisphere can entertain Old Man Winter some more. On second thoughts, you can entertain him forever, if you like. I don't mind. I don't mind at all! =) </p><p style="text-align: justify;">There are many needlepoints left in my armoire waiting to be 'stars of the show' in a new creation. As quite a few of my last haul of needlepoints are large......perhaps I will fashion a jacket?? Mmm....sounds like fun.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Have a beautiful, stop-and-smell-the-roses kinda day, lovely lovelies.

A bright and colourful quilt with a few fun active elements. So, I hunted and gathered some cute kiddies' fabrics and colourful felt from my stash, and began to play.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">For the central panel I cut 4" squares from the fabrics and stitched these into rows of five.

It must be fun floating across the sky on a warm and summery day.</div><div><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjgxxNndV6UKj4TNCdqjv4Zfhw0BfPj2pSRS3OVBuHziQPp5d9-70G901YLM2oRBq0ODC3f-FRSOQWNIDZGxPCySg02WxA-VCkjHkpNN76BJ514z94b3VnnHMadR1JgsyijLV-xPSQTEHbAv0US1FXwtZfvRCr1rdguIBEsdJ7nEC3RQgBs1OANFjDHd6iS/s3929/IMG_20231231_134535.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em;

text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">I machine stitched most of the elements though the trees, bushes, the girls in the windows and door of the house were machine sketched onto the quilt. These were cut from an old doona I scored from a thrift shop many, many years ago. I backed these with Vliesofix then sketched around each one several times with the machine. I knew that the pre-loved children's bed doona would come in handy one day. The backing is one I had in my stash. A lovely print with butterflies fluttering allover. There were a few elements where I used felt.....some of the animals....the flowers. I quickly machine quilted in a meandering fashion. The quilting, I'm not totally happy with as my machine decided to not cooperate in places. So, so temperamental! Not to worry, there is so much visual interest in this sweet quilt I am quite certain my sweet Riley will forgive her Granny. =) Besides, there was a pressing deadline to reach. I had two weeks in which to design and stitch the quilt. I stitched the label on the back; machine sketching the sentiment. The next quilt for Riley?? I want to fashion a nursery rhyme bed quilt totally hand appliqued. But not yet as there are a few other quilts I need to finish. The hand quilting of Flower Meadow, for one. </div><div><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhuyUVijEYLR_7Urd9-TP5i8XT0f8tCrgOPNXugyDx0dODWunl065yMlYm-hCgtbF3JzxcEhNdfaB43KBHI__SCc7SFHSePzuIlmW2F7vIucGPKDTuVKtAUG0VG1ltUBCBtrQIVPqmQloJxHMkJSJYIrvKq_jwOA_6tgJFJxoQFLskgvfa9payb0gbjXaTc/s4000/IMG_20231230_161406.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2904" data-original-width="4000" height="464" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhuyUVijEYLR_7Urd9-TP5i8XT0f8tCrgOPNXugyDx0dODWunl065yMlYm-hCgtbF3JzxcEhNdfaB43KBHI__SCc7SFHSePzuIlmW2F7vIucGPKDTuVKtAUG0VG1ltUBCBtrQIVPqmQloJxHMkJSJYIrvKq_jwOA_6tgJFJxoQFLskgvfa9payb0gbjXaTc/w640-h464/IMG_20231230_161406.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">I had so much fun designing, drawing the different patterns and making this quilt.

Gosh, a very, very long while, since I chatted here. So long that the months of dreary winter have blustered and whooshed away, vacating the place so Lady Spring could gently waltz in and touch the landscape with sprinkles of her floralicious beauty. Now spring has sashayed away and summer has set in for a while. Summer.....to immerse myself in all it's warmth and flowery deliciousness.......how I love thee♡</p><p style="text-align: justify;">I must say Lady Spring danced a dreamy and intoxicating waltz. She cast springtime smiles everywhere. Gorgeous yellows, blues, reds and whites, with heady perfumes filling the air. Daffodils, bluebells,, forget-me-nots, irises, wallflowers.........waterfalls of blossoms cascading down to the earth. Just divine. </p><p style="text-align: justify;">But enough talk of the seasons........I have some news. The most wonderful news. I'm a Granny. My sweet, little poppet, the sweetest little girl, whose name is Riley, made a grand entrance into our little world. A most grand and dramatic entrance. Eleven weeks earlier than was expected. It was thought her birth would be early, but not quite this premature. The gamut of emotions were felt those first three months. Riley was so, so tiny. She weighed 1.2 kilos at birth and was hooked up to all manner of tubes while in the humidicrib. So very confronting, but of course, essential. After stays in three different hospitals, time in the NICU ward following the staff of one hospital not adhering to proper protocols resulting in Riley becoming extremely sick; and oft times which seemed a neverending journey for my daughter and son-in-law, (<i>and I might add, Riley's Pop and Granny)</i> our sweet Riley is now home with her mummy and daddy. Riley was named after my mum's maiden name. My mum and my daughter were very close; thick as thieves, actually. From day one my daughter and mum hit it off famously. Funnily enough, Riley has strawberry blonde/ginger hair, just like my darling mum. So precious. The name Riley means courageous. Fitting really, as the first months of her life Riley has needed a good dose of courage. And........after all the drama and worries these last months, and with little milestones celebrated, sweet Riley who is now nearly five months old thus far, is doing well. Riley, is our tiny, little miracle♡</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Besides making several trips from Tasmania up to Queensland to meet and spend precious time with sweet Riley and indulge in oodles of squishy, squashy cuddles I have been slowly working away on some pretties in I knitted a few woolly pretties for sweet Riley. Of course they are a little big for her but she will grow into them. I've been crocheting as well. Now that I'm a Granny I thought I might teach myself how to crochet a granny square. Granny squares for a Granny. =) I've always wanted to crochet but for some reason or another I've never been able to grasp the fundamentals.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">I found a wonderful YouTube channel, <i>Hooked By Robin</i> and learnt how to crochet a granny square. It took a week though, to 'get' it! Gosh, I wondered if I would ever master crocheting a granny square but after some determination it all came together. All the tangled, messy, woolly crochet somehow weaved together and even if I do say so myself quite a few acceptable granny squares eventuated.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">From the granny squares I fashioned a cardie for me. The front and back in granny squares, and the sleeves in rows of different coloured double crochet. I must say I am amazed that my crochet pretty turned out.....and I must say, I love it. I love how the all the colours dance together. It seems making-it-up-as-I-go, worked again. Although I'm a knitter and have been knitting since a wee girl, I must say I love this crocheting caper. I cannot wait to try out new granny squares......I rather love the variety of flowers that can be crocheted within the confines of a granny square.

A most delightful holiday where I grabbed each precious moment with both hands as one never really knows when one will hug loved ones in far away countries, again. So much fun was had but perhaps photos of San Fransisco for another time.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">I will say though, while in San Fran the lovely <a href="https://karrinscrazyworld.blogspot.com/?m=1">Karrin</a> drove hours and hours to meet me and enjoy some lunch. A delightful couple of hours were enjoyed catching up and nattering about all things life. Meeting Karrin just reaffirmed what I've always known that she and me are kindred spirits. Loved, loved, loved spending those few hours with Karrin. Of course, we could've chatted for many more hours, but Karrin had a very long drive ........four hours!! It was such a delight to meet Karrin; she truly is a treasure♡ Karrin gifted me a most exquisite little wall hanging. A Judith Baker Montana-esque pretty♡ All the details....they are amazing! Karrin's exquisite pretty hangs pride of place in my sewing room where I continually gaze upon it and think upon dear Karrin and the sweet friendship that has developed between us over these last few years. Never in a million years did I think I would meet in person a fellow blogger from the other end of the world, but there you go; life always throws in the most delightful of surprises.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both;

Christmas always stealthily sneaks up on one, doesn't it?? This Granny (and Pop) are celebrating Riley's first Christmas with her and my daughter and SIL, so I will be absent from blogland again, for a little while. Thank you, for visiting my little corner of the world throughout this year♡ Thank you for the gift of your visits; your uplifting words♡ Oh dear, I've been a very bad <a href="https://kathysquilts.blogspot.com/?m=1">Sunday Slow</a> Stitcher these last months. =) Let us hope I will do better in 2024! There is an abundance of kindness and generosity of spirit which swirls around and around in blogland♡ It was an 'interesting' year for my family, filled with many ups and downs but I must say my heart overflows with thankfulness and gratitude for the gift of sweet, sweet Riley, who fills my/our days with overflowing joy♡</p><p style="text-align: justify;">From my little place to yours may your Christmastime be a blessed one filled with many moments where thankfulness, kindness and love permeate your celebrations. For those of you who will find Christmas sad and difficult, whose hearts are broken, may you find a glimmer of hope in the grace and peace that is the Christmas story. As for me, I am ever thankful for the love and grace of Jesus; in the good times, the bad times, those impossibly difficult times. This Granny is so very thankful; and continually amazed at God's love and grace for her♡</p><p style="text-align: justify;">God bless, dear lovely lovelies♡</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Until next year..........</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhnR1SELhiaoTYiJTkTEjazLdLocozzEvO2U4BZermBbQZiIiUDArC3_yqoMRGTMv45yvYhX-ouDv6t07MO7UdgYxyuh6qrUtMjDd4xuLegBOXmZGWHuAgEg1x7llOxXZFMYhdE5l41dZSE29SXsg2ql49Sy8ZsOtkNHT67FAJpVFQHtZJD-excDXxYDw/s4000/dec18%2046%20-%20Copy.jpg" style="clear: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3000" data-original-width="4000" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhnR1SELhiaoTYiJTkTEjazLdLocozzEvO2U4BZermBbQZiIiUDArC3_yqoMRGTMv45yvYhX-ouDv6t07MO7UdgYxyuh6qrUtMjDd4xuLegBOXmZGWHuAgEg1x7llOxXZFMYhdE5l41dZSE29SXsg2ql49Sy8ZsOtkNHT67FAJpVFQHtZJD-excDXxYDw/w640-h480/dec18%2046%20-%20Copy.jpg" width="640" /></a></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p>Kimhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14782099930159071920noreply@blogger.com264Q2JJ7GF+GW-49.3736592 132.2748594-77.683893036178844 97.1186094 -21.063425363821153 167.4311094tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5720710250003549011.post-28461884116592191742023-07-09T16:18:00.002+10:002023-07-09T16:18:17.258+10:00Flower Meadow♡ She's a Flimsy♡<p> </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiNUojgdZrdmhpgQSKuE2wheh52LbjEBZXicIh_xqxGcY2IU6Ult7pPhaGGZLAU7afYzjxkAIW-2ahVLWBdj4hlPnnIIKJDdCnvjaue74eYUkzwJfYIk3JtxWmBGPfDyVdRAVstNYLV9reOIfeYeANkzJD18qI7RYM9fxo9YPMpdB_74fb0jx2FJ6ANRT69/s4000/9jul24.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4000" data-original-width="3000" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiNUojgdZrdmhpgQSKuE2wheh52LbjEBZXicIh_xqxGcY2IU6Ult7pPhaGGZLAU7afYzjxkAIW-2ahVLWBdj4hlPnnIIKJDdCnvjaue74eYUkzwJfYIk3JtxWmBGPfDyVdRAVstNYLV9reOIfeYeANkzJD18qI7RYM9fxo9YPMpdB_74fb0jx2FJ6ANRT69/w480-h640/9jul24.jpg" width="480" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><p style="text-align: justify;">Hello lovely lovelies♡ Welcome to my little place, this sunny, Sunday afternoon♡ A beautiful day, with sunshine beaming warmth everywhere; ricocheting happy shadows and reflections all over the place. Love, love, love when dancing sunbeams illuminate all manner of pretties, in glass doors and windows. My sewing room was such a pleasant place to while away a few hours. I spent the morning in there, tidying up a little, finding new homes for bits and pieces....and I must say it was bliss, drinking in all the sunshine and pretty pretties.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">When last I chatted here, I was buried under an avalanche of fabric, coming up for air only when I found the perfect fabric for the next hexie flower for my <i>Flower Meadow</i>. Oh....and of course......for food. =) Oh dear, the floor was covered with fabric, fabric, fabric. Gosh, such a helluva mess. Well, I am pleased to say I can now see the floor and all my fabrics are neatly stored away again in my armoire and all the itty bitty scraps well contained in a basket. All is well with my little sewing room. Neat and tidy. Just how I like it.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">And.....why are all the fabrics and scraps corralled together once again?? Why, I finished stitching the hexies for my <i>Flower Meadow</i>. She's now a flimsy!! Yay oh Yay!! Truly, I'm beside myself with great joy!! Flower Meadow is now a vision of bright and happy hexie flowers jostling for space in drifts of colour and pattern. All the little hexies for the border are finished, too. Love, love, love the green border........assymetrical as it is. =) Love, love, love all the fussy cut flowers, too. Let's just say I love everything about my Flower Meadow. Love too, the backing fabric which is a pretty green with itsy bitsy flowers flourishing all over. I think this fabric teams beautifully with the quilt top.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgq7tqO5MLJUfYecMAGvnHUZ37wAlUJmxxHHBzH0RUe4G5r3zahYNlPG4-Bd-CTqvnGfHtQ6Zi6DOKOJIWI_7MBQMphbt2JE6Qj9xofnfXz-_katwyp_V3kJs2em4Dwp24tsSk5ohC5xHty5D00mkr-D9hsDQCdsKz9C8FMSkWVts1jlY9_Dmz7k3Wt26cf/s4000/9jul15.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left;

Later on this evening I will visit Kathy's slow hand stitching party, from the comfort of my rather squishy squashy sofa and see what all the other lovely lovelies are working on. I will have to find a pretty to stitch, of course. But then, there is some baby knitting I could enjoy, too. Mmm.....decisions, decisions. Just like Cecily, unable to make a decision, I'll enjoy a cup of tea instead.

I have had a lovely day just hexi-ing along. 'Twas so very pleasant.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Early in the morning with the sunshine streaming through the windows I ventured into my unbelievably messy, sewing room to sort through a muddly mess of fabrics. I needed to find three fabrics for three hexies in order to finish a row on my Flower Meadow quilt. My sewing room was (<i>and still is</i>) in a dreadful state of disarray. So, so messy that if one didn't know any better one could believe that a fabric bomb had been detonated. Oh my goodness, fabric, fabric...everywhere. As I entered the room I heard Pete say that if I didn't make an appearance in a couple of hours; if I was buried under mounds of fabric, he would come and rescue me. And he did. =)</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Unfortunately, fabrics galore are needed for a project such as my <i>Flower Meadow </i>quilt, and all the fabrics need to be floral. The fussy cutting of most of the fabrics is required for the flower hexies to give the illusion of a flowers blooming everywhere in a meadow. Hence the need for many, many fabrics; and fabric mayhem. </p><p style="text-align: justify;">So, sitting in the sunshine with my quilt pinned to the curtains (<i>alas, no design wall</i>) I auditioned fabrics to find the perfect ones for three hexies. Goodness me, it took a while. And....of course the fabrics I wanted were hidden at the bottom of the pile. Now that the quilt top is nearly finished, it is getting a little more time consuming in finding the perfect fabric in a colour that dances in harmony with the rest of the flowers. The flowers in this quilt are gathered here and there in drifts of hues, so although the growing of the flower meadow in the beginning was reasonably quick, now it is not. A little more thought and dithering is required.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">But I found three fabrics, made three little hexie flowers and then stitched these to the quilt, to finish the row. I think there are only two more rows of hexie flowers to make until the quilt top is finished.

Thirty five hexie flowers.....but hey, who's counting. =) I made quite a lot of progress from last Sunday. So much of my days was involved being buried by mounds of fabric, forming little gems of hexies into flowers and then stitching them onto the quilt. This week, perhaps I should try to tidy up my sewing room. With only two (<i>I think</i>) rows of hexie flowers to be fashioned, the re-organising of my sewing room should be achievable. Famous last words!! Hope you all enjoy a beautiful Sunday when it dawns at your little place. Thank you, lovely lovelies, for gifting my day with your sweet visit♡</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhHuC7lH3C4kDXMGfSCtsM8TdUJPhoG6pglT7Fr3rZwp9Y-45T5I5CW421NXQnpbVOOJxxF2s_D5Pk5GGGqMDx9kZA6EueAuSp8ab43y5upNuQivPloEepd2OmREULzFjOTpEPoV4thud8ADlV6FwlfdsqXcWUh5OKPojQKVfS6yLL8neHgUNxmGqtJ9A/s4000/jun18%2015.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4000" data-original-width="3000" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhHuC7lH3C4kDXMGfSCtsM8TdUJPhoG6pglT7Fr3rZwp9Y-45T5I5CW421NXQnpbVOOJxxF2s_D5Pk5GGGqMDx9kZA6EueAuSp8ab43y5upNuQivPloEepd2OmREULzFjOTpEPoV4thud8ADlV6FwlfdsqXcWUh5OKPojQKVfS6yLL8neHgUNxmGqtJ9A/w480-h640/jun18%2015.jpg" width="480" /></a></div><p></p><p><br /></p><p>Until the next time..........</p><p><br /></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhXI30YC7uqw3ruQxFlEmnSNlUVpdjtSbYOfTIJoNIccFZ0vU2K4vtAnvo6p1574T4DiIomPyZattRhM0eJkhY4PpBsPLjp6wMHMw_z2M7Y0JtIRp9Qf7mtPB1MoSUnx_klLN8xURtPmljo9Bdbs49JqnXTXGzSRPPLFyJkqmysb9a7VZyTRzQlOxtSFQ/s4000/jun18%208.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4000" data-original-width="3000" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhXI30YC7uqw3ruQxFlEmnSNlUVpdjtSbYOfTIJoNIccFZ0vU2K4vtAnvo6p1574T4DiIomPyZattRhM0eJkhY4PpBsPLjp6wMHMw_z2M7Y0JtIRp9Qf7mtPB1MoSUnx_klLN8xURtPmljo9Bdbs49JqnXTXGzSRPPLFyJkqmysb9a7VZyTRzQlOxtSFQ/w480-h640/jun18%208.jpg" width="480" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><p><span style="background-color: white; color: #444444; font-family: Arimo; font-size: 17px; text-align: justify;">Linking this week to </span><a href="https://kathysquilts.blogspot.com/" style="color: #2288bb; font-family: Arimo; font-size: 17px; text-align: justify; text-decoration-line: none;">Kathy's, Slow Sunday Stitching</a><span style="background-color: white; color: #444444; font-family: Arimo; font-size: 17px; text-align: justify;"> and </span><a href="https://quiltingpatch.blogspot.com/" style="color: #2288bb; font-family: Arimo; font-size: 17px; text-align: justify; text-decoration-line: none;">Frédérique's, Quilting, Patchwork & Applique</a></p><p><br /></p>Kimhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14782099930159071920noreply@blogger.com38tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5720710250003549011.post-63309393540895851202023-06-11T17:00:00.010+10:002023-06-11T20:03:47.244+10:00Colour My Wintry World With Flowers♡<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhP4I2W7w4QTbnRtvPr3JypAHjdJ3hIzZp51zotVNKut18sXCP-Bf4gUhFKEYg_RxjFK5nQHOfy02lMKqRqNxCQEsqKYPyKiaV0YqKpEWKv5IWTyAhFysaISMsJD6opAULdOoV6p3BO5T8ERno_TZLSO66bVI_W_RCcwfyYk_DIZq-0A9mki9yFGIJGaQ/s4000/jun11%202.jpg" style="clear: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3000" data-original-width="4000" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhP4I2W7w4QTbnRtvPr3JypAHjdJ3hIzZp51zotVNKut18sXCP-Bf4gUhFKEYg_RxjFK5nQHOfy02lMKqRqNxCQEsqKYPyKiaV0YqKpEWKv5IWTyAhFysaISMsJD6opAULdOoV6p3BO5T8ERno_TZLSO66bVI_W_RCcwfyYk_DIZq-0A9mki9yFGIJGaQ/w640-h480/jun11%202.jpg" width="640" /></a><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><br /><p style="text-align: justify;">Hello lovely lovelies♡ A lovely Sunday welcome to you♡ It has been a dreary, wintry kinda week here. But I don't care as there have been splashes of sunshine in the form of pretty winter flowers, new Tilda fabrics and a few more hexie flowers flourishing on my <i>Flower Meadow</i> quilt.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">'Tis amazing how flowers put a sparkle into my day, especially a cold winter's day. My garden is bereft of flowers, but my beautiful friend, Trish, has gorgeous proteas blossoming in her garden at the moment, so when she asked me if I wanted a bunch or two, I of course said a resounding YES! These flowers would put a smile in any ho-hum kinda day.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">The two proteas are Special Pink Ice (Special neriifolio x Susanna) and Protea repens - Sugar Bush. Although many consider proteas native to Australia, they actually hale from South Africa, but share many of the growing requirements of our Australian natives, so they thrive really well here and are very popular. Both flowers are stunning and will look fabulous in a vase for a very long time.....and the flowers are huge. Just gorgeous!</p><p style="text-align: justify;">I purchased some new Tilda fabrics this week. Have you seen the new Tilda collection?? There are three collections, called Bloomsville, Garden Vista and a blender collection....Abloom. Apparently the Bloomsville and Garden Vista designs are inspired by old chinoiseries and a sweet motif found on a vase from a factory that closed in the 1960's. The fabrics are blooming in colours of Fern, Sky, Blue, Iris, Cornflower, Corn, Turquoise, Dijon, Prussian, Pine, Lagoon......all dancing in bright, summery hues. I particularly love the blender fabrics called 'Abloom'. They are quite simply gorgeous. Tone Finnanger has done it again. Goodness, she is a clever designer. I am slowly replenishing my floral fabrics as I have gone through quite a lot this past year, so these gorgeous fabrics will be a welcome addition to my stash. </p><p style="text-align: justify;">With the baby quilt now finished, and as I dream up some more pretties for my wee poppet I picked up my <i>Flower Meadow</i> quilt again. This week I have been preparing more flower hexies and stitching these pretties to the quilt. I have been evening-up the sides with the green fabric as I go. As it is Sunday, I have enjoyed a lovely afternoon slow hand stitching my Flower Meadow in The Fernery, for, surprisingly enough, after a woeful morning Old Man Sun decided to cast little bursts of happy sunbeams over my little place. All these flower hexies are a vision of summery loveliness sustaining me through these dismal winter months. </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgappPPPdXdL1ut0jIhcEEA0S93R76BD81ORAl9YsLC5RxSDAZAWxPMkwDClidUcD4py7H-tZavyJn8EF525Ook_FEG3kceYEyS9Az9IAvniPqp7oBjie8sViK7UM2X2w9U4mJfFjX92eyuGog3PHJG_OTrtGJ7VB17oz4Mn2q9SKufoE-uuylRzYRXRg/s4000/jun11%2020.jpg" style="clear: left;

How can I sprinkle a little beauty into the 'world'?? But a few flowers, a few new fabrics and a little hand stitching of a pretty quilt and there you go, a new post in which to wax lyrical about colouring my wintry world with flowers. Why should all you lovelies who are deeply immersed in the joy of spring/summer have all the fun. =) The world is a much better place with a few flowers, a few new pretty fabrics; and definitely a little hand stitching of a pretty quilt; don't you think?? Thank you once again for visiting my little place where, this week, I have been colouring my little place with the beauty of flowers. Flowers gifted by a beautiful friend♡ Flowers flourishing on gorgeous fabrics; and flowers blooming on my <i>Flower Meadow</i> quilt♡ Have a lovely day, lovely lovelies♡ May your day be coloured with splashes of beauty♡</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi3h6tvhGuPQyOR4NuJyBmsfHdKdwndl1pHowcKoEJhq1PCkXA9yh18aNnW-qvfRWQZTObkNwGrXAqNOSkH0B4E1xrFBZceJIgLwmh1pd0TwK5yXbtlNPKiFjY9JnrKvpODGTFYYiSGIsa6kfNOQzk9fStaYMlce43yTJg3hDIYFca5rg_1R_4cnZurNw/s4000/jun11%2037.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4000" data-original-width="3000" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi3h6tvhGuPQyOR4NuJyBmsfHdKdwndl1pHowcKoEJhq1PCkXA9yh18aNnW-qvfRWQZTObkNwGrXAqNOSkH0B4E1xrFBZceJIgLwmh1pd0TwK5yXbtlNPKiFjY9JnrKvpODGTFYYiSGIsa6kfNOQzk9fStaYMlce43yTJg3hDIYFca5rg_1R_4cnZurNw/w480-h640/jun11%2037.jpg" width="480" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">Until the next time........</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjL5mTu4QR8CbTMMMpR2qPmaY5hp84xNIMDPLbBmEa1UkxUsaH4GcA_qPLJabGnlSjQ-TPjx__OiMnlObWMPrQrBETQAtQQmoZexTS37FSCpNzuhDTZm1Fy9Bl6qBaZgqead4buVY-eKxPm38DVegqPWcQsTTKmKhz6d037IPqgryYaKuEEM8Ls3E6z7Q/s4000/jun11%2018.jpg" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3000" data-original-width="4000" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjL5mTu4QR8CbTMMMpR2qPmaY5hp84xNIMDPLbBmEa1UkxUsaH4GcA_qPLJabGnlSjQ-TPjx__OiMnlObWMPrQrBETQAtQQmoZexTS37FSCpNzuhDTZm1Fy9Bl6qBaZgqead4buVY-eKxPm38DVegqPWcQsTTKmKhz6d037IPqgryYaKuEEM8Ls3E6z7Q/w640-h480/jun11%2018.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #444444; font-family: Arimo; font-size: 17px;">Linking this week to <a href="https://kathysquilts.blogspot.com/">Kathy's, Slow Sunday Stitching</a> and <a href="https://quiltingpatch.blogspot.com/">Frédérique's, Quilting, Patchwork & Applique</a></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #444444; font-family: Arimo; font-size: 17px;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><br />Kimhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14782099930159071920noreply@blogger.com33tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5720710250003549011.post-14170192076090856192023-06-04T19:40:00.009+10:002023-06-06T08:21:50.223+10:00A Sweet Poppet's Quilt .......A Quilty Finish♡<p> </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgXmGIiP5QDNpPfO0diRSbTQIQm8t9VTs-zvUeogTW4tNexOsfnslMX8c0y3BzOsT-EGSCtrUz5BDeihQ-0HTKvU2O_kaf1DDOF2Oz8Y9bMBkEtLZCjEjuJZPnp4LVnbUuAvrIx0LJE37JvbiHLQxsrAOeM4WcOqSXoZx49pc_GcJ1qc2V8D77wAyK9gw/s4000/jun4%201.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4000" data-original-width="3000" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgXmGIiP5QDNpPfO0diRSbTQIQm8t9VTs-zvUeogTW4tNexOsfnslMX8c0y3BzOsT-EGSCtrUz5BDeihQ-0HTKvU2O_kaf1DDOF2Oz8Y9bMBkEtLZCjEjuJZPnp4LVnbUuAvrIx0LJE37JvbiHLQxsrAOeM4WcOqSXoZx49pc_GcJ1qc2V8D77wAyK9gw/w480-h640/jun4%201.jpg" width="480" /></a></div><p></p><p style="text-align: justify;">Hello lovely lovelies♡ A beautiful welcome to my little wintry place♡ The month of June. Which of course means in this little part of the world.......winter!! But let's not talk about my least favourite season, let us talk about happy things. Let us talk about a quilt finish. Yep, the wee poppet's quilt is finished♡ Let us talk of sweet quilts, teddy bears, flowery lights, and sunshine; for today was the perfect sunny day for a wee photo shoot. =)</p><p style="text-align: justify;">This wee poppet's quilt is one covered in Australian flora and fauna. Jocelyn Proust fabrics where there is a menagerie of sweet animals playing among Australian native flowers. Cuddly koalas, bashful bandicoots, swimming platypuses, hopping kangaroos with sweet joeys peeking out from pouches, running wombats and adorable echidnas who slowly waddle along; all playing hide and seek among the gum trees and pretty native flowers. Flowers such as lilly pillys, wattles, bottle brushes, Tasmanian blue gum flowers, waratahs. As for the birds perched high up in the eucalyptus trees; there are magpies, willy wagtails, cockatoos and kookaburras, all singing a merry song. I suppose this quilt is an I-spy-with-my-little-eye quilt, where my daughter and her wee poppet will enjoy many a delightful time looking at each-filled hexie, imagining stories of adventures in the Australian bush. The backing and border is a Jocelyn Proust fabric <span style="text-align: left;">flourishing with stylised 'Corymbia Ficifolio' an Australian flowering gum tree.</span></p><p style="text-align: justify;">I fashioned this quilt using the English Paper Piecing method with papers I have from the <i>Sweet Sunday</i> quilt which I made several years ago. I hand quilted this sweet quilt with the stitches marching in straight lines diagonally up and down the centre panel. For the border the quilting stitches do-si-do in a merry fashion around the flowers and gum leaves. The batting is 100% cotton, nice and light.....and snuggly.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgpZge7A4-rTYnF1WoiikfXaPTurFPhiuM12LkeOh4OvoQoxbHL9Ic8swuQ92DdrzZxnc_9D7iahCu-EpV5GQRLRe2T4BMO7Bwhv-CImCSyvk-6cUpAsy4a4o2ASpnhafykb3ZIk6bqEzNmphiHpw6fHi2o9QDoPxSagpx4eHmtS93qYvHd3Xbp2vELZA/s4000/jun4%205.jpg" style="clear: left;

The weekend has been one where cosying down inside has been the thing to do. The parlour, my place of choice in which to recline and relax.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">The parlour 'tis the place to be on a chilly day such as today. 'Tis a lovely space. A calm and restful room. 'Tis a space filled with treasures which have been collected over the years. Paintings, prints, rugs, sofas, chairs, lamps, quilts, tchotchkes.......gifts made for me by my girls when they were children.....books........oh yes, we cannot forget the books. There are many bookcases with many a book jostling for space. These inky treasures are everywhere, waiting for me to revisit them once more. For I am that gal who revisits favourite books over and over again. They are old friends to me. Some books are as delightful today as the very first day I picked them up. I can remember the thrill and excitement of picking up a book for the first time and embarking on a new adventure within the pages bound by a wonderful binding. Oh, how I love the binding of books! Books that I read over and over in my childhood....my teenage years....they are all old friends that have fed my imagination and soul through the years. And....talking of books I have just started to read '<i>The Bookbinder of Jericho'</i> by Pip Williams. I recently read her first novel '<i>The Dictionary of Lost Words</i>' and loved it. Though, I must say there were parts that were heart-wrenching to me. I cried many a tear reading this book. I wonder if '<i>The Bookbinder of Jericho</i>' will pull at my heartstrings??</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Pete and I have sat in the parlour most of today......and yesterday, actually. We have both been in the car travelling here and there for most of the week, so we both desired to relax and not move too far from the fire. The weekend was one where it was too cold to venture outside. The glow of the fire with the wonderful warmth was too enticing. So, we read, chatted, drank copious cups of tea, nibbled on home baked biscuits and cakes. Oh......and I captured a few happy snaps. =)</p><p style="text-align: justify;">I have worked on the wee poppet's quilt, too. I will join <a href="https://kathysquilts.blogspot.com/">Kathy's, Slow Sunday Stitching</a> party later. The diagonal quilting is finished and I am now quilting the border. I was going to have the quilting stitches march one behind the other in straight lines around the border but I changed my mind; having decided to hand quilt around the centres of the flowers and leaves. Not every flower and leaf, but here and there. The border fabric is flourishing with stylised 'Corymbia Ficifolio' an Australian flowering gum tree, so I thought quilting stitches do-si-do-ing around and around the flowers and leaves would look more fun than straight lines. I have sat in front of the fire all afternoon and happily hand quilted away.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj6W1KFlIol1unBDOgufXhebsRbmeU0_iRYI94ZWDqzhs4uDdaPzLGbs2SZZwQtbFLM26yV29PRMkWtX6GDGEtw-CIdPUhaYEAqoZCoRYe04E6k1q0mLDX0QZpuyPJ5QohDjjy7KVx51wwRxP1Y8LM_2KWhaFuizJM0wgAVfVEq7clwh0W5wvYxZ-mjiQ/s4000/may28%201.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em;

reading and hand quilting my wee quilt. This morning I lit many, many candles adding a warm, ambient glow to the room. It is always my aspiration to add beauty wherever I am. =) Yes, I am that gal who must have a plethora of candles flickering, illuminating the room with the softest light, with reflections dancing in the glass and mirrors. Love, love, love a room aglow with soft candlelight. Oh, I must tell you a funny story about me and my penchant for candles. When we first moved to this little corner of Tassie a farmer drove by one very dull Sunday afternoon and looked in and to her surprise saw our little home alight with a plethora of candles. Apparently she loved what she saw. She went home and told her husband of what she had seen at our home and insisted that they buy a lot of candles. His response?? "What on earth do we need candles for???? We have electricity!!!!" Oh dear. I'm guessing candles are kept in the farmhouse for only those times when power outages darken their world. How sad. Life is far too short not to have a million and one candles aglowing; don't you think??</p><p style="text-align: justify;">If you were to peek through the window into the parlour this evening, I wonder what you would see?? Why, like my neighbour farmer all those years ago you would see a room bathed in the softest of candlelight. Of course, I would invite you in. You could sit in a comfy sofa and warm your tippy toes by the fire. Oh, and you and I would partake in some tea and cake. Why, Pete would pop his head around the corner and say g'day. Doesn't that sound delightful?? So, so love my restful, homely little parlour.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgGO4EWEPxcoN8iOmTXP0tfTIvbabHbSt5IcglQ4nJvVEWSW168EvzenP71OmL8QMfaLY64jU-8i4Q4jCS8L77IPEy3yOleSiro4J-An6P-4SU5c6RNnz7cFaTKM5b6lx_MzZtmaVuQLGWJbuFnFLKMuBBohQZjnReRlucG2ZxXYS8Den2valq4eoFaJg/s3733/may28%2041.jpg" style="clear: left;

Here at my little abode there are big picture windows where Old Man Sun's sunbeams invade every dark corner shooing the chilliness away. I do believe sunshine is my very favourite thing in life. Well, let's just say.....one of my favourite things. 'Tis the season for thick, woolly jumpers, boots, woolly blankets and snuggling under the quilt one is quilting. Yes indeedy, winter is the season for hand quilting♡</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Jack Frost has set up residence. Yep, he finally arrived. And, I must say he arrived with great gusto and oomph! Every flower which was hanging on to dear life with one last breath, gave up the ghost and fled deep down into the ground. The hydrangeas; quite lovely one day, burnt and ugly the next. The dahlias, a pitiful sight of charred-like misery. The dahlias have been cut back to ground level where they will bloom again in summer. The hydrangeas I fear will just have to look dreadful and bereft for a while as they won't be pruned till August. Though, I must say regardless of all my belly-aching, the ice-sheathed ground, as far as the eye can see and the beauty in the ice-etched leaves is rather sculptural and artistically beautiful. All right....all right....there is much beauty in winter. There.....I admit it! But.......I did say to Pete last evening......."only three months till spring!". =)</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiwl9zjehEnW1_pAROyZ3AuChPyASJOcaTKEoUzRz3JiNQjCNfHUHws5YJ9Cxh4VXqQn5KyXTb65C112f23d0B9vG35Gd2QRQNdPTi3q_mVqMsLHhluZuwVJmAYnYTiSrQwLjUIfLgoiu3z3qSybo4IEu7KidgFmYnzBoBd7t_ccc2K0v-VYeN7kCtoFQ/s4000/may21%202.jpg" style="clear: left;

There's not a lot to say, really. The hand quilting on the wee baby quilt has begun. The stitches are skipping up and then down the length of the quilt, in diagonal lines. Hand quilted stitches happily skipping along in a merry fashion. I don't suppose the quilting will take too long, then I can bind the wee quilt and send it on it's merry way wrapped in many kisses and hugs♡ This wee little quilt just makes me smile♡</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjhz7wTvRYZxD6VpN9vAWx3y53D-lm2bGdlp1CA9iy9ZBncCiIcn8wimXZRsyt-x8cenflKZtChx6O2jcrybb5inTStYu4aZ4BfPYjqchCGV5Vkzggri7y8jUyDR6WmXrxh6jJPB3GMmBrJ0zaiakET62X4miVZrkPq8jA0Uvno6CfELx3Z9FVs7Mhs7g/s4000/may21%2031.jpg" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3000" data-original-width="4000" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjhz7wTvRYZxD6VpN9vAWx3y53D-lm2bGdlp1CA9iy9ZBncCiIcn8wimXZRsyt-x8cenflKZtChx6O2jcrybb5inTStYu4aZ4BfPYjqchCGV5Vkzggri7y8jUyDR6WmXrxh6jJPB3GMmBrJ0zaiakET62X4miVZrkPq8jA0Uvno6CfELx3Z9FVs7Mhs7g/w640-h480/may21%2031.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiLIouZCFrab-iv0kZ5_vQcLtAyomT7yqnOoqETOB-mv8SyqKg0fI3BfO5xG1qFmHEqvRTwOzPmPuU50JM8Aqa_FynogiskKOBxiNFXMAyR3Jf-hqUFbwJ8e0NBacfF5ddi3QRIz7F5eOn-tZbiqmeWWgTZ8MCiNIkbbfvzE7HEoRnzv9Kz0CcJbJi_5w/s4000/may21%2032.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4000" data-original-width="3000" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiLIouZCFrab-iv0kZ5_vQcLtAyomT7yqnOoqETOB-mv8SyqKg0fI3BfO5xG1qFmHEqvRTwOzPmPuU50JM8Aqa_FynogiskKOBxiNFXMAyR3Jf-hqUFbwJ8e0NBacfF5ddi3QRIz7F5eOn-tZbiqmeWWgTZ8MCiNIkbbfvzE7HEoRnzv9Kz0CcJbJi_5w/w480-h640/may21%2032.jpg" width="480" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><p style="text-align: justify;">Another Sunday nearly gone.

How are you all on this Sunday?? 'Tis late here in Tassie. I have enjoyed a lovely Sunday. 'Twas Mother's Day today. A lovely day was enjoyed by me and my Pete. A perfect day gallivanting around the countryside, drinking in the autumnal beauty and a stop here and there for coffee and cake. Are you celebrating Mother's Day at your little place?? If you are, then a beautiful Mother's Day to you♡ Mother's Day is always bittersweet for me as my girls live in different parts of the world and my darling mum passed a very long time ago. But.....Pete always makes sure I enjoy my day. My girls gifted me with lovely surprises. Flowers♡ Books♡ They know me so well, as flowers and books are my very favourite gifts to receive. My daughter who will soon be a mum herself sent me the sweetest book; <i>How to Greet A Gran</i>. So fun. Now I will be proficient at greeting grannies in their language from all over the world. =)</p><p style="text-align: justify;">I finished hand stitching my wee poppet's quilt top. The border fabric has been machine stitched as well. A pretty Jocelyn Proust Australian fabric in aquas, teals, purples, pinks and moss greens. A perfect fabric to happily live with all the sweet fabrics of the quilt. Now for the quilting. Simple hand stitching, me thinks. Just straight lines skipping one after the other, diagonally. The backing is the same as the border and the batting is a 100% cotton. My daughter and son-in-law live in Queensland so cotton will be perfect for their climate.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">I have been enjoying a little knitting, too. Goodness, it's been many, many years since I have knitted woolly garments for a wee one. The needles are tiny and the garments so little. It doesn't take long at all for the garments to quickly knit up. I am going to have the best time knitting for this wee little poppet.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjFqAXrWnef7_t-KHxlZ96-HXZUI1Xlrb7KNzSMBfQ6qBbZ99KL7-DwdRAJwIALkTeCaeQ2etK-gLflo_GbnFhdfycLpBWn58nE4_F4G-vbQ4pd3BFVCnlskNJ_yy-nBm2ADYlQk3idQyx7SHlLLhBVw58KvQfukpSIZFWpG_sWPWLtt2QeR1XCKs0SSg/s4000/may14%205.jpg" style="clear: left;

Who would've thunk it??!! But my bed is calling out to me......I cannot resist. I'm just in the mood for hopping into my electrified bed snuggled under cosy quilts. One of my favourite times of the day is collapsing into bed at day's end. =) Gosh, I live a boring life, don't I??!! I must be getting old!! Granny old!! Traipsing around the countryside, coffee-ing and cake-ing all day long is seriously, exhausting business. I look forward to visiting all you lovely <a href="https://kathysquilts.blogspot.com/">slow hand stitchers</a> tomorrow morning. So, have a wonderful Sunday, lovely lovelies, when it comes aknocking at your door; and to all of you who are celebrating Mother's Day; have a joy-filled time♡</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Until the next time........</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEil07W4B4n2dSgrfY58bCKAJoQR-mQfD6cUNjHea-p7-RxfdPcQZ668I8p20HAAudX3oHMqxuNazr0BroQBTPyt76mSkEelsQawXjkvSfRIVD_ar0HEHkXbFVC2ChbsmRqHVm1RsED6oEXE5MzHsHNP3uk_b0j7E5z9UFkR_Zpeke9COAEvsN5WYAehCA/s4000/may14%2015.jpg" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3000" data-original-width="4000" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEil07W4B4n2dSgrfY58bCKAJoQR-mQfD6cUNjHea-p7-RxfdPcQZ668I8p20HAAudX3oHMqxuNazr0BroQBTPyt76mSkEelsQawXjkvSfRIVD_ar0HEHkXbFVC2ChbsmRqHVm1RsED6oEXE5MzHsHNP3uk_b0j7E5z9UFkR_Zpeke9COAEvsN5WYAehCA/w640-h480/may14%2015.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><p><br /></p><p><br /></p>Kimhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14782099930159071920noreply@blogger.com31tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5720710250003549011.post-20365513257846678822023-05-07T17:12:00.012+10:002023-05-07T18:25:15.460+10:00Some Exciting News♡<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhIE8Kiec5hJDptNS-AJwLzN1SPoOsDhpsCvg8oEw23rusZ32P4MIHTdGSi5-w8pQoEoXx6pRnC8EJDpvkzndego_NsDwceOdtlFtNRtDrG4vNFnxEQk2HPxVglhgX4D7VQht_haZXjfzi7PKKEXVxWp6tgkvUNzjC5iARzZJM3Q63ijd_txtGwwY8Qig/s4000/may7%206.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3000" data-original-width="4000" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhIE8Kiec5hJDptNS-AJwLzN1SPoOsDhpsCvg8oEw23rusZ32P4MIHTdGSi5-w8pQoEoXx6pRnC8EJDpvkzndego_NsDwceOdtlFtNRtDrG4vNFnxEQk2HPxVglhgX4D7VQht_haZXjfzi7PKKEXVxWp6tgkvUNzjC5iARzZJM3Q63ijd_txtGwwY8Qig/w640-h480/may7%206.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><p style="text-align: center;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: center;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;">Hello lovely lovelies♡ Here I am again at my happy, little place, this sunny but chilly Sunday afternoon. If one can sit in a sunny nook (and I did), or sit in front of a cosy fire (and I am), to escape the chilly breeze then one is warm and content. I must say though, even if it is a wee bit chilly here today, the sunshine has lit the sky in the prettiest of blues casting sunbeams here, there and everywhere. May I ask.....how are all you lovely lovelies?? I hope you are dancing through your day. I am♡</p><p style="text-align: justify;">My daughter and son-in-law visited for a bit. We all had the best time. It was both my Pete's, and my son-in-law's birthdays, so we all celebrated. I cooked and cooked; and cleaned and cleaned (<i>after all one has to go the nth degree to dust out all those cobwebs</i>). Gosh, spiders love to hang out in my humble abode. The Daddy Long Legs love it here. Even more so, now 'tis chilly and the open fire is blazing away. It amazes me how I swoosh all those cobwebs away and the very next day the arachnidian, gossamery, silken threads are loop-de-looping again, dangling from whatever surface is found. I have become accustomed to the amazing workmanship of critters from the arachnid family. I could watch the artistry of spiders spinning their delicate web for ages, but when visitors come we really cannot have spiders weaving their intricate handiwork all over our guests while they sleep..... smothering them; now can we??</p><p style="text-align: justify;">I have some news! Such exciting news!! I am going to be a Granny. And, my Pete is going to be a Pop! How marvellously fabulous. The wee little poppet should be arriving sometime in Spring. So, so very excited! </p><p style="text-align: justify;">So, what is a granny to do but to begin the begin of the plotting, and fashioning of sweet little pretties. So many pretties to imagine, design, knit and stitch. So, so many fanciful imaginations colliding around my muddly head. Where to begin??</p><p style="text-align: justify;">A quilt for a cot is always a fabulous idea. My daughter took a fancy to some Jocelyn Proust fabrics in my stash, so these are what I am using. I purchased these fabrics for a baby quilt I fashioned a couple of years ago. They are sweet fabrics with Australian flora and fauna printed all over. Sweet kangaroos, koalas, wombats, echidnas, kookaburras, parrots; set among native flowers. I am using dotty fabrics in various colours to add to the mix. The pattern?? Why, hexagons of course. =) I am re-using some papers that I used for my <i>Sweet Sunday</i> quilt.....just a couple. Another EPP pretty. The first 'little poppet' quilt of many, I suspect. Why stop at just one, I ask??!!</p><p style="text-align: justify;">I have pieced the main part of the quilt top together with only the levelling of the sides, and the top and bottom, to be done. I will be stitching these pieces to the quilt later this evening. Then, a border skipping around the main part of the quilt will be added. I purchased a pretty Jocelyn Proust print for this; and for the backing. My daughter has decorated with other Jocelyn Proust floral fabrics within her home so this sweet little quilt will fit in perfectly. Her favourite colours are teals, mints, peaches and oranges, tangerines, turquoise, salmon pinks, dusty mauves, mustards.......so these fabrics are perfect for her.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both;

Autumn is dancing it's vibrant, gloriously-hued dance. So much of the garden has died down for the winter. Though the trees are beautiful in their burnished shades. And of course, the hydrangeas are still making me smile. Love watching the petals change into the beautiful shades that only hydrangeas can do. Believe it or not I am still picking bunches of hydrangea flowers that haven't begun to change as yet. These flowers have been delighting since December. Truly, the best flowers....ever!! Of course, they are gorgeous in summer, but what I also love is in autumn hydrangeas taking on a life of their own, morphing into earthy shades of green, burgundy, rust......and dusty blues. I have been watching them dry and shrivel up slowly....so pretty in their demise. A wry thought just crossed my mind ........in winter I tend to shrivel up and die, too.......which ain't so pretty.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh-PSCIC94tMQKEjaLrKW-zi9e4cS7MvWc0QQBiRJCl7TRS8Tr3XGd0I5rE-Jv2E5QHhscoE4PIUCiw7Hf6xiKtJQFBOodNB9hTu26N91Bq3j4sNUD_wJ3CzY6GN_h3KXNGbyBuG-CS0MtCg_FOsXe0Z5Gvh3Zhjq_XkiC0MBsZ7CnBbh_Q4OTiy33PUw/s4000/may7%2018.jpg" style="clear: left;

text-align: center;"><br /></div><p style="text-align: justify;">There's something about old hymns that speak to the weary soul. The words, the lyrics, are poetry to my soul; balm to my weary heart. And with every new day there is much being played out on the world stage to cause one to be weary. I love the music to those grand old hymns. I love the cadence of the melodies; the sweetest of harmonies. Melodies which when sung in church the strains soar like sweet angels to the loftiest of places. Truly, is there any sweeter sound than a group of people en masse, singing a hymn?? I'm not only speaking about those grand old hymns, but I love too, the hymns written today. The group Anthem Lights, <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oUHcofV1tLo">here</a> and <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f26P1ftbCco">here</a>....comes to mind. They have imagined beautiful new arrangements in medleys of hymns. <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8kvFtXphmMU">Celtic Worship</a>, too is a group combining great voices and instrumentals. Such a beautiful and unique sound. I want to jam with these people. <i>In Christ Alone,</i> a new favourite hymn of a lot of people; written by Keith Getty and Stuart Townend in 2001. Who said hymns are old fashioned?? Certainly not I.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgaWz4jm5MyjIjeeEoXmpx_-MKwhqDx_ockEXp1nKDgCY5DIMW7-nvx0boOjZBx-S2TQUFLdrzP3fbB1Uwv3nSQucGgYPZpQ-hn4f6aRcCyPbjLFJjpjnw8apbegHoCP0eHuIHshRe-ZqDT65wpt37sw320nGyT1eZuyfQ3Cwd63z_Yo0cZ65-oWJMKxg/s4000/easter23%2025.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4000" data-original-width="3000" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgaWz4jm5MyjIjeeEoXmpx_-MKwhqDx_ockEXp1nKDgCY5DIMW7-nvx0boOjZBx-S2TQUFLdrzP3fbB1Uwv3nSQucGgYPZpQ-hn4f6aRcCyPbjLFJjpjnw8apbegHoCP0eHuIHshRe-ZqDT65wpt37sw320nGyT1eZuyfQ3Cwd63z_Yo0cZ65-oWJMKxg/w480-h640/easter23%2025.jpg" width="480" /></a></div><p style="text-align: justify;">This Easter, I am singing a hymn of thankfulness to Jesus for the gift of new life.

May I sing sweet songs to Him in the good times, the sad times, the difficult times.....those days when everything is a struggle. No matter what season of life I find myself in, may I always sing songs of praise and thankfulness to Jesus♡ "<i>Many things about tomorrow I don't seem to understand; But I know Who holds tomorrow, And I know Who holds my hand."</i><span style="text-align: left;"><i>♡</i></span></p><ul class="lyric" style="box-sizing: border-box; color: #212529; font-family: system-ui, -apple-system, "Segoe UI", Roboto, "Helvetica Neue", Arial, "Noto Sans", "Liberation Sans", sans-serif, "Apple Color Emoji", "Segoe UI Emoji", "Segoe UI Symbol", "Noto Color Emoji"; font-size: 18px; list-style: none; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><li style="box-sizing: border-box; list-style: none; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><br /></li></ul><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi1A0O4UlO4EZZHTSp9UOgGRfpryAv1eSQJe_OszSFkmSE59sGvcCreItDNu_sAxNI2YTcoMn8xFv0X2LxTQvnFq5PlcBgXsa1AMbzP5HyZRGm34ZxgZXt3gQrm3F4oeJJS-FhuF-q1UaZspuJsFjjPsNozT_LCzz1a5eYal6Q0D4qyXggSJA198kskuQ/s4000/easter23%2026.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4000" data-original-width="3000" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi1A0O4UlO4EZZHTSp9UOgGRfpryAv1eSQJe_OszSFkmSE59sGvcCreItDNu_sAxNI2YTcoMn8xFv0X2LxTQvnFq5PlcBgXsa1AMbzP5HyZRGm34ZxgZXt3gQrm3F4oeJJS-FhuF-q1UaZspuJsFjjPsNozT_LCzz1a5eYal6Q0D4qyXggSJA198kskuQ/w480-h640/easter23%2026.jpg" width="480" /></a></div><br /><p style="text-align: justify;">Tomorrow is Easter Sunday.

It is well with my little world, this sunny, Sunday afternoon. Well, at least it is well with my <i>Flower Meadow</i> quilt. </p><p style="text-align: justify;">I am hexie-ing along again. Just moseying along preparing what seems a gazillion little hexies for my <i>Flower Meadow.</i> I've decided that I'm okay with a little asymmetry (<i><span style="font-size: x-small;">well....I think I am</span></i>) re the sides of my quilt. I'm okay with this quilt being a little skew-whiff. I've thrown my arms up into the air in surrender and decided to listen to my little pretty. I acquiesced to her small but incessant voice and went with her plea of keeping it simple. All thoughts of grandiose borders have been thrown out the window and my meadow of bright and happy hexie flowers will now be encircled by oodles of green hexies, do-si-doing around and around. I must admit, 'she' was correct. Simple can sometimes be the very best thing. But then, quilts always know what's best, don't they?? One can have a design in one's mind but ultimately the final decision rests with the quilt. Who am I to disagree?? </p><p style="text-align: justify;">The fabric I chose for the border hexies is a soft green batik with just a hint of smudges of tiny watercolour flowers, giving a sense of grass with tiny flowers peeking through. This fabric is leftover from my quilt, <i><a href="https://sarahlizzies.blogspot.com/2021/11/a-stroll-through-petes-garden-quilt.html">A Stroll Through Pete's Garden</a></i>. There were a couple of metres left over, just enough (<i><span style="font-size: x-small;">I think.....I hope.....I pray on bended knees</span></i>) for <i>Flower Meadow</i>. I must say it is the perfect fabric. I rather love the soft, muted look as it causes the flowers to bloom even brighter, if that is at all possible. =) The hexies seem to take the eyes away from this quilt's blight. If you look at some of the photos, especially the collage photo, you can see that in every second horizontal row the flower on the left side of the quilt is half a hexie in to the right. Oh well, such is life.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Shall we have a lookity look at my <i>Flower Meadow's</i> progress??</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgp0r3LPVZSZRe-J7SMUEXvifA3u1g5Fh7T1qmMlJew-AvgeVWEeiDVzfrGxg1-SW69eQ7_q9nn5rd4I8CZCic1cKh5IAM_TjMmIe9w6Z8VAqg8Z7vAQrWg8kcZL1yHlDdWPnkaaTRKbXPGJbqpk3iSVx-yScRkzppF-Ci867o6sz7O1rCFQIusYtFDww/s4000/april2%2021.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em;

I think it is. My eyes don't immediately go to the little blight but they just see the beauty of the flowers and the green border. Also, as I may not have enough of the green border fabric, as I stitch each new row of hexie flowers I will also add the border hexies to each side. The size of this quilt will be determined by the number of green hexies I have. This quilt could very well turn out to be a most interesting size. I feel like a small child counting each hexie. Unlike my inability to comprehend the tessellation pattern of hexies, I am quite adept at counting by ones, twos, threes etc etc. I grasped the concept of counting in kindergarten. After that everything that is maths related is a complete blur! =) </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEixow18IPla3GFbkc7F4DtSHKkaJtIvNWZVshHvUYbkN1G0zVZdBVY6F4oUUUwJ4ETa2_4Ln1AwTwwLy6THs1DS-9awb2ILrMaHYcv2xaURrDQ-Dqu1txLAOqZ4UgEmG9Lt4GDYpI5MygvrZ-66UXpSKBf-c2RP0BXo4JOowbJ2tvRgZ3A0B04KmnJhGQ/s4000/april2%2019.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4000" data-original-width="3000" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEixow18IPla3GFbkc7F4DtSHKkaJtIvNWZVshHvUYbkN1G0zVZdBVY6F4oUUUwJ4ETa2_4Ln1AwTwwLy6THs1DS-9awb2ILrMaHYcv2xaURrDQ-Dqu1txLAOqZ4UgEmG9Lt4GDYpI5MygvrZ-66UXpSKBf-c2RP0BXo4JOowbJ2tvRgZ3A0B04KmnJhGQ/w480-h640/april2%2019.jpg" width="480" /></a></div><p style="text-align: justify;"></p><p style="text-align: justify;">I have enjoyed a lovely Sunday afternoon sitting in my little sun trap that is The Fernery.

This week flashed by in a blur. A new quilt was made and and a quilt on which I've spent many many, many hours stitching came to a startling halt.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">My <i>Flower Meadow</i> quilt. As I was yet again stitching my flowery pretty I realised there was something horribly amiss. I began to add hexies to the the right side to even up the side vertically and discovered in every second row there will be one extra hexie than the left side. Oh no!!!! I sat looking at it for ages thinking how in-the-hell did this happen......and how could I fix it?? No matter what my brain, which I must say was in a state of bewilderment, came up with to fix this problem, the right side was always going to be one hexie out of line in every second row than the left side. No fudging, no tweaking here and there, was going to work as hexies are a tessellation and whatever I thought of was going to be a glaring eyesore, however my addled mind sought to remedy the problem. Quilts mostly are symmetrical and for the design my very muddly mind (<i>obviously a more muddly mind than is usual</i>) devised, the vertical rows on both sides have to be the same. Is devastated a too dramatic word to relay my feelings???? =) Well, to put it lightly I am a bit miffed. </p><p style="text-align: justify;">A rookie mistake in the imagining and planning of this quilt, I'm afraid. It's strange what my brain doesn't think of. I have said this ad nauseum.....the obvious to me sometimes ain't obvious! The quilting world can breathe a very big sigh of relief that Kim Sharman isn't in the designing-of-quilt-patterns, business. Of course, if I depended on one of those computer programs that work out the maths and the putting together of quilt puzzles then it would've been quite evident from the start there was going to be a problem. This go-with-the-flow ethos sometimes gets it horribly wrong.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">What will I do now with my pretty but asymmetrical <i>Flower Meadow</i>?? My immediate thought was to vanquish it to the dark abyss and perhaps begin to unpick each hexie flower with many, many impossibly invisible stitches sometime.......in the very distant future, but I had invested too much of my time to throw it into some dark cupboard never to see the light of day for a very long time.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">So the unpicking began. I very carefully began to unpick the teeny tiny, almost invisible stitches even though I was most definitely in the mood for a little fabric massacre with my 'Jack The Ripper'. Common sense prevailed over my murderous tendencies and I unhappily unpicked away. That was late Wednesday evening.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Oh, but wait........Thursday morning a thought did cross my mind after an impossibly long time unpicking four flower hexies. Did I really want to unpick a further eighty or so flower hexies??!! Hell no!!!! What if I chose a different fabric for the border to skip around all the flowers?? Now, in the beginning I was going to hand stitch the flower meadow to a fabric for the border and design a trailing vine (perhaps) of hexies around the edge; but what if I made a lot of hexies out of the border fabric and added them all the way around the flower meadow. Of course, I would have to throw my design thoughts for the border out the window but perhaps I could continue. The design would still be asymmetrical, a little askew but perhaps it wouldn't be so obvious to the eyes. Only you and I would know. You won't tell anyone, will you?? I wonder, is this a light beam from the heavenly realms to save my little meadow overspilling with beautiful flowers from the dark abyss?? Or is it just wishful thinking on my part??</p><p style="text-align: justify;">I didn't originally intend to have a border filled with a gazillion little hexies, but I don't want to stash this away having it never seeing the light of day again. Besides, after unpicking a few hexies, which took an age, I wasn't going to give in that easy. I am a stubborn wench! Perhaps my <i>Flower Meadow</i> will be half acceptable. At least I can but try. Am I up to stitching a gazillion little hexies.....as well as some more fussy cut hexie flowers?? Dunno, really. Let's just say I am not as enamoured with my <i>Flower Meadow</i> as I once was.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">So, feeling very ho-hum after my calamitous predicament I dusted off months of gathered dust from my sewing machine and fashioned a new little quilt. A child's quilt. A quilt for a charity called Dandelion, which helps families and children in need. More than ever there are so many families who are one pay cheque away from hard times; impossible situations, so if I can fashion a quilt or two, to help lighten the emotional heartache in a child's day, then it is the least I can do. After all a quilty hug handmade with love would surely put a smile in a little one's day. I have wanted to make some quilts for this charity for a while now so what better time than now??</p><p style="text-align: justify;">With my good-ol'-girl of a sewing machine whirring away I quickly whipped up a quilt using 5" charm squares called Jungle Paradise, designed Stacy lest Hsu. It is a bright and playful, whimsical collection where monkeys swing from vine to vine while squawking toucans and trilling parrots sit in safety of the canopy of the trees from tigers and leopards prowling the jungle floor below. Green Tree frogs are leaping here and there while elephants slowly walk among the labyrinthian undergrowth causing the jungle to vibrate with each step. A happy little band of animals against a background of teals, pinks, yellows, oranges, emerald greens.......just waiting to hug a child. For the borders I used a geometric pattern with brightly coloured tiny polka dots by Tula Pink and for the backing another Tula Pink fabric with dots dancing all over. A perfect match me thinks. The machine quilting is simple with diagonal quilting lines intersecting each square and straight lines dancing around the border. The binding, which I hand stitched yesterday is the same fabric as the backing. Hand stitching the binding I know for some of you is your favourite part of making a quilt. For me....definitely not so!</p><p><span face="Montserrat, sans-serif" style="background-color: #f7f8fa; font-size: 18px;"></span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhm0vMBfnvyevobNVRp3AuKEWm2iM_qy4uoc3mbOpY99C4CWHc2Xc4lnzESGw4sHASnGGn9oBmgVDLjId9GDd_51yW68sGBeLPq-aFF48WljqxxDKQvY8Kbf-iPAazhJzrxK5NNRCTn76mUcywMpwUAfG8yySBm1lRnfIHB4GoU01CWDAvjyWIIJqtcvw/s3943/mar26%2015.jpg" style="clear: left;

It was from a beautiful lady, Elizabeth, a fellow aussie who reads my blog and thought I needed this pretty remnant of fabric and bag handles. Oh my, the fabric is beautiful with. flowers, frogs, butterflies, lady bugs and hummingbirds. It will surely have to find a home on a garden theme quilt sometime down my flowery, quilting path. Then there are the bag handles Elizabeth found in an op shop!! Oh my, just exquisite!! Little wooden handles with floating swans on either side. Truly, I don't think I have seen such charming handles before. And......from an op shop, no less. I will have to design something worthy of these handles. My deepest thanks, lovely Elizabeth. Your generosity and kindness has humbled me♡</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiYobxQYORCuaUvm6unJzZusG8vo6h8CbLWrpZUANT5GjCPwdN3fZoNj_EVuscPKI1VpFOKd4z5bdcTlgBONJRVRw21I5K6Z7qI85AnxfJfNzRYw8oGrVYLo0rxmmHz4OcicwlSPWjvwm8wjObqqHfgQ1VdZ-F99I52HpfpqPWke_twKanr3dzPx6dQ5A/s4000/mar26%2022.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4000" data-original-width="3000" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiYobxQYORCuaUvm6unJzZusG8vo6h8CbLWrpZUANT5GjCPwdN3fZoNj_EVuscPKI1VpFOKd4z5bdcTlgBONJRVRw21I5K6Z7qI85AnxfJfNzRYw8oGrVYLo0rxmmHz4OcicwlSPWjvwm8wjObqqHfgQ1VdZ-F99I52HpfpqPWke_twKanr3dzPx6dQ5A/w480-h640/mar26%2022.jpg" width="480" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjDsiaKeBI97Bp4dpibgYz0WkDSaEVk4XkdVEtpSr8eLIErwH8DYIYJISVa9Kps51qkgUukjgs7aE38-M0fbm8dOy5NArFuodvtueAEEFmwOEZGABJa7l7zYwi4aecFsobaD9VfvBptVxIzhsq2JbQAQS2RLVEJmMXu6Q-TYydLzUQynzgrZp0flWxefQ/s4000/mar26%2025.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4000" data-original-width="3000" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjDsiaKeBI97Bp4dpibgYz0WkDSaEVk4XkdVEtpSr8eLIErwH8DYIYJISVa9Kps51qkgUukjgs7aE38-M0fbm8dOy5NArFuodvtueAEEFmwOEZGABJa7l7zYwi4aecFsobaD9VfvBptVxIzhsq2JbQAQS2RLVEJmMXu6Q-TYydLzUQynzgrZp0flWxefQ/w480-h640/mar26%2025.jpg" width="480" /></a></div><p style="text-align: justify;">Have a beautiful Sunday, lovely lovelies♡ Me thinks I might enjoy a little hand quilting of my <i>Crazy Flowers</i> quilt this afternoon, for I'm in a no thinking, happy, hand quilting, frame of mind.

Mine was. A week with chilly autumnal mornings, smiles of sunshine, warm Indian Summer days with a little rain thrown in for good measure; more hexie sewing....and enjoying capturing oodles of happy snaps........♡</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Summer. It has left my little part of the world but oh, how lovely it was. The echoes of summer days are still with me. The bright and vivid colours of the dahlias and cosmos are still singing a song, albeit a wistful song whose tunes will soon fade away. But it is the harmonious melody of blues of the hydrangeas which sing the sweetest tune to me. A calming, melodic song which has been crooning since December and the strains will be heard until May. Though I adore all flowers, it is the hydrangeas which will always make my heart beat just that little bit faster.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">The blue of summer hydrangeas are now wondrously beginning to transform into beautiful muted autumnal hues. The miracle of the autumn hydrangeas. As I look outside my sewing room window it is the soft song of autumn that is playing. The hydrangeas have taken on another life changing into earthy, vintage-like hues for which hydrangeas are acclaimed. Pale blue into green, deep blue into wine, lilac and mauve into plum, maroon into currant.....all are gorgeous. Some shrouded in veil-like, silky spider webs. So, so pretty.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">To some the colour blue is associated with a feeling of sadness, with a feeling of ho-hum. For me the colour blue makes me happy, joyful, peaceful; fills me with a sense of calm. Blue has been my favourite since....well.....forever.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Springtime always explodes with yellows, blues, purples, pinks and oranges; a succession of flower after flower bursting on the flower scene but quickly passing. It is the summer garden filled with hydrangeas that linger month after month, casting contentment around our humble abode. Why, here in my little corner it is '<i>The Land of The Blue Flower</i>'. I bought a little blue book by Frances Hodgson Burnett ages ago and found it sitting in the bookcase this week. If I remember correctly I bought it because it was a little book with a blue cover and with the perfect title, <i>The Land of The Blue Flower</i>. Any book with a title such as this had to come home with me....a gal whose favourite colour is blue and whose little plot of land is covered in blue hydrangeas. =) Shallow gal that I am, I oftentimes purchase a book purely because of the title and the cover/binding which envelope the pages within. Though I must say in this case it is a sweet little story, a fairy tale, where a land and its people are transformed by the planting of magical blue flowers everywhere.

Alas, not a lot, but then those of you who love to make hexies, know it is never a fast process; is it?? Especially when a lot of the hexies require fussy cutting. But that's okay as I am never one who is in a hurry for a quilt to be finished. I am still finding more fabrics with different floral patterns. Surprisingly, thus far there are no repeats, though I am certain soon there will be. More flowery hexies in pinks, purples, peachy oranges, apricots.......and blues, of course.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Hexies hanging on a ric rac line....again.

Each one of us has a penchant for a certain colour or colours. I wonder what colour or indeed colours, make your heart sing?? So many colours in all their variations of tones make me smile, but it is the hue blue which will always sing the most lyrical of songs. I have read "<i>the hydrangea represents gratitude, grace and beauty, radiating abundance because of the lavish number of flowers and the generous round shape. It's colours symbolises love, harmony and peace.</i>" Who am I to disagree??!! So, so very thankful, every day for this little patch of God's sweet earth hugged by blue, blue hydrangeas. </p><p style="text-align: justify;">Summer has gone and the hydrangea song, sung blue, with it. This week I have picked armfuls of blue hydrangeas, those which still have the appearance of summery blues, ones where autumn has not sprinkled it's magic upon them. They now sit in vases where over the next few months they will hopefully dry into beautiful earthy hues. Some have already done so. Some do, some don't. There is no rhyme or reason why some are successful and some are not. It is one of life mysteries to me. For the time being though, as I sit and look out my windows on this <a href="https://kathysquilts.blogspot.com/">Sunday</a>, and a little hand stitching is enjoyed; I will listen to the song sung blue, throughout my day.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Oh....I almost forgot.....I picked an armful of pretty, blue hydrangeas just for you♡ May your Sunday be filled with your favourite colour♡</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Until the next time..........</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgM4CpN4F6rQyvVUIokOlKrVgmReOa5fAMFzUIlONcrfLxSaaHRZ6IDgCgCwVVn0NfbNbDlAc3m0sXDFHWjTw1ATcwxmylzmEJdmqgo-O5qnSKACtrPEbHPSPgjlQx7IYoPFMftbmzfgD4Q45pBd5mQvF7NgEzJAAX9jw9bNODTwa6OhDXnZqrsft1tvQ/s3621/mar19%2035.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3621" data-original-width="2230" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgM4CpN4F6rQyvVUIokOlKrVgmReOa5fAMFzUIlONcrfLxSaaHRZ6IDgCgCwVVn0NfbNbDlAc3m0sXDFHWjTw1ATcwxmylzmEJdmqgo-O5qnSKACtrPEbHPSPgjlQx7IYoPFMftbmzfgD4Q45pBd5mQvF7NgEzJAAX9jw9bNODTwa6OhDXnZqrsft1tvQ/w394-h640/mar19%2035.jpg" width="394" /></a></div><p style="text-align: justify;"></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div>Kimhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14782099930159071920noreply@blogger.com39tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5720710250003549011.post-88582180208430126962023-03-12T11:30:00.016+11:002023-03-14T12:31:21.218+11:00Flowers And Hexies.....Hexies And Flowers♡ <p> </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh8hVk63tHRLzQ_o4V3F1SKcloQkgVBr5xyWs8NoFMaO6HyqFNR2vo3PU0DYRt4gXgaTi91gE2yga-zla7Jewpqsmx7xQIS9Chs_iMmFpCx2BE2truqj8vpCA5fZrId6lvy7C-An_v66usLcT3dU0XFK_encrJOD-wROL-qm6MgDNrAQWQDb2-6gXtu2A/s4000/mar12%2010.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4000" data-original-width="3000" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh8hVk63tHRLzQ_o4V3F1SKcloQkgVBr5xyWs8NoFMaO6HyqFNR2vo3PU0DYRt4gXgaTi91gE2yga-zla7Jewpqsmx7xQIS9Chs_iMmFpCx2BE2truqj8vpCA5fZrId6lvy7C-An_v66usLcT3dU0XFK_encrJOD-wROL-qm6MgDNrAQWQDb2-6gXtu2A/w480-h640/mar12%2010.jpg" width="480" /></a></div><p></p><p><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;">Hello lovely lovelies♡ So....you have found yourself here again, at my little happy place where there is an abundance of flowers and hexies........and hexies and flowers♡ Boring, (<i>for you</i>) I know......but not so for me. So, so delighted you stopped by♡ I could gaze upon hexie quilts for the rest of my life and never grow tired of them. Yep, I'm a hexie-loving gal. Humour me, allow me to sprinkle yet again, a little, flowery hexie, loveliness into your day......and a vintage pitcher of roses♡♡</p><p style="text-align: justify;">It is getting decidedly chilly here. I suppose before not too long, in the wee hours of the morning, Jack Frost will appear earlier than he should ravaging all the summer-loving flowers in one fell swoop, casting his icicles everywhere, burning and killing everything in his path. I just know it. He really should wait until winter, but he never seems to.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">The infinitude of vases of flowers have dwindled to but a few each week; though the hydrangeas are beginning to morph into those fabulous autumnal hues that only hydrangeas can do. Every other flower expires and refuses to flower, but the hydrangeas.....well, they have months of beauty left in them yet. But let's not chat about the fabulousness of summer and autumnal hydrangeas.....as that will be for another post.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">This week the most ferocious winds thundered their way to my humble abode and all the flowers which once were upright and sashaying in the gentle breeze, are now practically prostrate on the ground. The dahlias are not happy. The roses have disappeared. The sweet peas are nothing but a fallen-over drift of brown mess with a gazillion seed pods doing their thing, producing little gems of seeds which will be collected and used for next spring. I will leave quite a few seed pods to burst so that they will fall to the ground, where they will germinate and sprout once again. Flowers are truly genius how they keep reproducing flowers year in, year out from microscopic seeds. Truly fascinating. 'Tis a miracle, really. The cosmos still bloom brightly and happily, though they are a little closer to the ground as well. I shall have to prop them up a bit. The begin of the begin of the season which I loathe, is not too far away. All the flowers are telling me so. =) </p><p style="text-align: justify;">Summer has gone! It was a strange season. Oh, there were a handful of hot days, but mostly I walked around with long sleeves...blouses, shirts, dresses.....and jeans and overalls....and even cardies. There were only a few days where I thought sitting in an ice bath would be a very good idea. The garden though performed like it always does, and spectacularly so regardless of the cooler summer. But now, everything has the beginning of a woebegone look; preparing for the colder months. Amazing how in only a space of a few weeks a garden which was blooming profusely is now....well....rather blah. Don't mind me.......I always feel a little ho-hum at this time of the year when summer winds down and the flowers return to the earth. But.......there's autumn first, isn't there?? The season of glorious autumnal hues and mosaic carpets of crunchy leaves to be enjoyed. I must not be greedy though, for I know some of you way up there are still experiencing horrible storms. Oh my goodness......when will they end??!! One would think you have had enough. It is truly your time to enjoy the beauty that is Spring.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">About those roaring winds which I shivered through this week. Such penetrating winds, that if they could've, would've uprooted one's house from the foundations of rock on which it stands, swirled round and round. Didn't Jesus say "build your house upon the rock"?? Very sound advice. But I digress. =))</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Regardless of the chilly temperatures outside my sewing room window and the onset of a feeling of malady the thought of winter can cast upon me, I fashioned more happy and colourful flower hexies. No matter what the day, the season presents outside my window there is always the joy of playing and stitching.....petting colourful and happy fabrics. For, here in my little place happy colour hugs me all day long. We who create, play with and pet pretty fabrics, slowly and meditatively enjoy hand stitching, or indeed whirl away on our sewing machines; always find joy, contentment in the moments of our day, as we fashion something of beauty, don't we??</p><p style="text-align: justify;">This week, I dived deep into my fabrics and found yet more fabrics where flowers abound. Once again teeter-tottering towers of hexie petals, nearly toppling over, formed. Another row of hexie flowers, both across and down the quilt, sprouted, finding their place, jostling for space among the other flowers. My<i> Flower Meadow</i> is slowly flourishing♡ My <i>Flower Meadow</i> is slowly blooming in a myriad of colour and pattern♡ Such a joyful, little flowering meadow♡</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both;

The last pitcher, or indeed, vase of roses me thinks....until late spring comes around once again. Such sweet aroma about me while I stitched. The petals falling from the roses still beautiful, still fragrant, just laying where they fall. Love, love, love a puddle of gathered rose petals. Potpourri at it's very best. Of course, I will remove these delightful gems when they metamorphose into a pongy mess, but for now I will just let them be. Why, roses and itty bitty hexie petals are the very best of friends♡</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhegtDywAbK_EErnRQRCXKsClpMZhntfhd_qziu3jMIwK9A0zfMVP3MOfMNregEvaFhTnAsFk-yQCWOpBNfnVc-Y4ONK9jhKUVAaxbZWg6o8F7aEKxP6IRMr7iiKMOZ4UNSShy1fwNC4yvP6VJ0h_hagMUHH-LTDqnExkIOKceuswjNVFcMd3DgV6Cz8g/s4000/mar12%2012.jpg" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3000" data-original-width="4000" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhegtDywAbK_EErnRQRCXKsClpMZhntfhd_qziu3jMIwK9A0zfMVP3MOfMNregEvaFhTnAsFk-yQCWOpBNfnVc-Y4ONK9jhKUVAaxbZWg6o8F7aEKxP6IRMr7iiKMOZ4UNSShy1fwNC4yvP6VJ0h_hagMUHH-LTDqnExkIOKceuswjNVFcMd3DgV6Cz8g/w640-h480/mar12%2012.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEidGb8-yBnIPnEk2yN07tfk8F6r43_aALop2XGHeuFk6yvUFjw3SGXl2EHgzFuZzTSYmiai67MDcRBVl87QLu6YYu-u11PA_zxaDO5cLIyTsP73-CGXYu7TQ_l9plk9ltUZbOrxvxbGuqSj7AXDfpgIaE6A2Igr4YsX9pzSpF36sX9gbhijiyTG4Dwe8g/s4000/mar12%2023.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4000" data-original-width="3000" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEidGb8-yBnIPnEk2yN07tfk8F6r43_aALop2XGHeuFk6yvUFjw3SGXl2EHgzFuZzTSYmiai67MDcRBVl87QLu6YYu-u11PA_zxaDO5cLIyTsP73-CGXYu7TQ_l9plk9ltUZbOrxvxbGuqSj7AXDfpgIaE6A2Igr4YsX9pzSpF36sX9gbhijiyTG4Dwe8g/w480-h640/mar12%2023.jpg" width="480" /></a></div><br /><p style="text-align: justify;">It really doesn't take much to sprinkle contentment into my day. I will always look for something that brings joyful moments even when the day can be a little glum......a little stormy. A pretty pitcher of roses, hexie petals, and hexie flowers will do it for me every time. Oh.....and of course a visit to my little place by lovely you♡ You always make me smile♡ Me thinks I might go and play with some hexie petals and later this evening visit <a href="https://kathysquilts.blogspot.com/">Kathy's</a> place to see what other pretties are showcased. I am going to embrace this lovely Sunday; for the sunshine is hugging me with it's warmth. On days such as today it's easy to push that nagging, little pesky thought that cooler, greyer days are on their way, into the dark recesses of my muddly mind.

Hello lovely lovelies♡ Welcome to my little place where little hexie flowers are growing at a snail's pace. Hand stitching these sweet flowers is slow, but the leisurely pace is strangely satisfying. I have spent a lot of time in my sewing room this week, just enjoying the peace and quiet, the contentedness of hand stitching. A quiet week with no appointments, no having to be anywhere.......just enjoying each day.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">I am fussy cutting most of the flowers because when they are all stitched together I want to evoke a sense of a meadow blooming with bright and happy flowers. Rose Marie asked me last week if there were any fabric repeats. The short answer is no. Well at least, not yet. Each little flower is a different floral fabric. I have one serious stash of flower fabrics.....but then I would, wouldn't I; given my penchant....my addiction for all thing flowers. =) Though, I suppose as the quilt grows there will be a few repeats dotted here and there. It is amazing how a floral fabric jumps out in front of me when I am in a fabric shop. Why, only the other day when out and about another fabric splashed all over with flowers came home with me. Deary, deary me, I am supposed to be reducing the fabric stash.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">I have begun to form the flower meadow by stitching the flower hexies together. A slow process but oh such fun as I dot flowers here and there, playing, placing each one in a visually pleasing arrangement. Each flower happily settled next to the others, not competing, just blooming in its own beauty.</p><p><br /></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhbFiBsvRpaQn7g2WH937Of-1mdBaoA-YT-ge8aYHQcS4Uj9VZTsE5WEp4H5JAWb8_2YZ2iLADirwgdSpT3CnzsE3yNuMy9gpM0IlUW3fYpud6siDtgkXTRQOiBShnrlC5_qlVcdHcF5cJzhsoX4GJBq3de7S8k2H0yWslgIU6brZIk6G7cuN9bJ3gA7A/s3897/mar4%202.jpg" style="clear: left;

Goodness, most of my hexies have been incorporated into my <i>Flower Meadow</i>. My tower of flower hexies has dwindled to almost nothing. I can see in my crystal ball more fun over the next little while searching through my fabric stash, unearthing more flowery fabrics suited for fussy cutting. I'm supposing now will be the time when a few flower patterns will begin to be repeated. Hope you have a lovely Sunday when it comes avisiting you♡ Thank you so very much for popping into my happy, little flowery place and blessing my day♡ Sending a little flowery love your way♡</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="text-align: left;">Until the next time.............</span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgTUA9JpADJHQdjnWfN9kISwCRjC_Xaofx2U0zuxcX_tx_KtEC26_gIYfJhh0Q7IKt23BSp5uPmosfa_AGztM81sVn0tH3pFu9w6JZuSIRgs6lgRFK54aW9NBoLhmBjyRQgbAdLNVozw16iIDaqcZU5QwSPfekfltgsqwbU-wsha2aefKLW2tZdVt5wSg/s4000/mar4%2025.jpg" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3000" data-original-width="4000" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgTUA9JpADJHQdjnWfN9kISwCRjC_Xaofx2U0zuxcX_tx_KtEC26_gIYfJhh0Q7IKt23BSp5uPmosfa_AGztM81sVn0tH3pFu9w6JZuSIRgs6lgRFK54aW9NBoLhmBjyRQgbAdLNVozw16iIDaqcZU5QwSPfekfltgsqwbU-wsha2aefKLW2tZdVt5wSg/w640-h480/mar4%2025.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br /><p><br /></p><p><br /></p>Kimhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14782099930159071920noreply@blogger.com38
