Hello lovely lovelies♡ Welcome to my little place where the last of summer days are ever so slightly beginning to drift into autumn. There is a change in the light. That soft, opalescent light which autumn shimmers upon everything, has arrived. The early misty mornings are beautiful. The sun is beginning to rise later and the evenings casting darkness sooner. I must enjoy these days while I can. I must make the most of these lovely days.
This week I have fashioned more flower hexies. A trove of little hexies bursting with bright, happy colour and pattern. A treasure trove of gorgeousness. The little flower gems all puddled together cause me to smile. A ric rac line of the flower hexies hanging out with the dahlias and cosmos are a delight to my eyes.
I have now begun to stitch the hexies together to begin forming the Flower Meadow quilt, to get a sense of what patterns and colours may be needed when I fashion more flowers. Little hexies made from a fabric called Flights of Fancy by Momo for Moda, are dotted here and there among the flower hexies because I want a muted and soft impressionist feel among the florid-hued hexies. I love the painterly look of grass and flowers these sweet little hexies will give to the quilt.
Sunday♡ The day of the week where I endeavour to join other slow hand stitchers from all over the globe and delight in a little hand stitching♡ I must say I spent a good part of my afternoon beginning to stitch my hexies together......growing my little Flower Meadow. Slowly stitching my little Flower Meadow hexies, delighting in the pretty, flowery prints; delighting in the tiny stitches which form the flower hexies♡ It's been one of those weeks....days.....when the meditative slowness of slow stitching has been balm to the soul♡ May your Sunday be a blessed one......when it comes aknocking on your door♡
Until the next time.................
I love hexies and yours are just beautiful look at all that flowery delight, a project like that would certainly put a smile on my face, I can't wait to see it progress. Make the most of your later Summer days Kim these years pass far too quickly. Happy Sunday stitching. xx

Oh joy!
ReplyDeletewow aren't those hexies colorful and beautiful looking. That was a lot of work pinning them all up for their photo and so pretty looking too.
ReplyDeleteSo many lovely hexies, it will be gorgeous when all together. Here we are into the last storms of winter and looking forward to spring.
ReplyDeleteYour photos take my breath away! So very lovely! I, too, am making hexie flowers, and yours are so pretty that I am encouraged to keep going! Love looking at your blog! Well done!!
ReplyDeleteSo many gorgeous photos it's hard to take in all that beauty! The hexies hanging on the line are my favourite!
ReplyDeleteHow does one even begin to comment on these glorious hexies? Of course, I adore the hexies hanging on your ric-rac line sashaying in the wind over those cosmos. (You know I love, love cosmos.) The riot of flowers on your hexies are perfect - it takes so long to fussy-cut them and yet you complete more and more of them. How do you do that? I've become more adept at thinking of your 'opposite' seasons (Thank you, Kim.) and (Especially when you lament that winter is coming. :) ) It is so exciting just imagining that the days are longer and it won't be too long before warm weather and all the fun associated with it will be coming to our little portion of Earth. It's such fun to see and enjoy all your makings...
ReplyDeleteYour flower garden hexies are so pretty, Kim! I enjoyed seeing them with your beautiful bouquet of flowers. While you're headed toward fall, we are looking forward to spring and blooming flowers in our gardens. But we can have fabric flowers any time of the year!
ReplyDeleteYour Flower Garden Hexies are beautiful, as are your flowers. Hope you have a great week Kim!
ReplyDeleteYour hexies are gorgeous. I love the centre fussy cut flowers. Seeing them on your washing line makes me smile!

ReplyDeleteJust beautiful Kim. Your little ric rac clothes line reminds me of a dolls house - so sweet. Those fabrics are adorable & I love how you have fussy cut the centres. Yes its been one of those weeks where some slow stitching would be rather soothing ............ 💙💜

A little secret, Kay, I love hexies, too. =) I am having so much fun fashioning these fussy-cut pretties. So, so much happiness in each little hexie. My week has been filled with enjoyable stitching......and little walks in the garden.....and sunshine. =) I hope you are enjoying a pleasant week, lovely Kay. Kim Xx
DeleteYour flower hexies make me happy, Kim, love the abundance of colors and the views of your garden.

So many lovely hexies! A garden on its own :-) I love them and enjoy making them too; right now I have a little production line of my own, I need LOTS of hexie flowers for one of the Butterfly Ball borders. I hope you'll still get lots of time to enjoy your wonderful flower garden and your autumn doesn't come too soon. It got cold here again and don't like it :-(, I need some sunshine!
ReplyDeleteLove the clothesline full of hexies. Such beautiful material.
ReplyDeleteYour flowers are a joy to see too, Kim.
I love that clothesline of hexie flowers. Very cute.
ReplyDeleteThose hexies are so lovely. You'll have a nice spring garden to view in all seasons.
ReplyDeleteAnother magical trip into your garden, Kim. Your hexies are looking so pretty. You are a master at creating a quilted garden of loveliness.
ReplyDeleteI am endlessly fascinated by your hexies but have to say that I'm really seeing the results of fussy cutting so many of the pieces. Flowers within flowers if you will. So beautiful and such attention to detail on your part.
ReplyDeleteAnd autumn already??!!! Wasn't it just yesterday it was spring? Although I really don't know why I should be surprised because, after all, we're supposedly starting into spring here. Looking out the window at our snowy world sure doesn't look like it though!
