I sewed them together like this
and eventually they looked like this.
No, it is not going to be a table runner!
This week I have been having fun starting to embroider onto my fabric.
It is some time since I did some hand embroidery and I am loving this.
This week I also finished work on an appliqued and hand quilted cushion cover front - I have yet to find some suitable fabric to make up the cushion though.
I really enjoyed doing the quilting but I think it will be some time before I do any more applique!
I've signed up for another Mystery Quilt starting in October - I have definite plans for this quilt and have started ordering fabric - and for a Pretty Pouch Swap. I have never done a swap before although have seen some lovely swaps on blogs so thought I would give it a go.
So I think I am going to be busy!
Have a good weekend - we have friends staying Friday to Sunday which will be fun - and happy stitching.

I adore your hexagon project...the colours are gorgeous! The embroidery on them looks wonderful. The cushion cover is beautiful too...the quilting really sets off that beautiful appliqué! :-)

ReplyDeleteWow. I love your hand dyed hexies and how you're sewing them together. That would make a great tutorial to share with beginners so that they could see what you're doing. Do you mind if I share your post on my blog? Love the embroidery, too. Hand work is very rewarding :-)
