Another Sunday♡ Just Hexi-ing Along♡

 

Hello lovely lovelies♡ 'Tis Sunday evening here and I have been enjoying hand stitching my Flower Meadow quilt throughout the day. I have had a lovely day just hexi-ing along. 'Twas so very pleasant.

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 (and still is) 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. =)

Unfortunately, fabrics galore are needed for a project such as my Flower Meadow 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. 

So, sitting in the sunshine with my quilt pinned to the curtains (alas, no design wall) 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.

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. Yay oh Yay!! 

I fashioned hexie flowers and stitched them to the quilt every day this week. 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 think) 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♡

Until the next time..........
