FNSI for May

Many thanks Wendy for hosting our sew in this month despite being so busy. Lovely to be sewing along with everyone again - you can catch up with what went on here


We were out to lunch on Friday - and very nice it was too! When I got home I spent a happy hour with my sketchbook and paints before settling down to finish basting 90 something yellow hexagons which are going to edge my swap hexies tablecloth.


Managed to get them all done before bedtime so now I am looking forward to start sewing them in place as soon as I finish this post. There is exciting cricket on TV - no, not England v Australia but Somerset v Hampshire in the final of the Royal London one day cup! Come on Somerset!

My sampler quilt is finished - I added the last quilting stitches a couple of nights ago. So here are a few pictures.





And to finish, a few pictures from the garden





Hope you are having a great weekend - happy stitching

  2. well done with all those little hexies. I love the sampler, such pretty colours showing in the blocks.... springtime in your garden is lovely.... we watched a bit of Eng v Aus.... but most of it is on during our life time.... we were in UK for the 1999 WC and watched a couple of the Zim games.

  4. So much loveliness in this post, Lin. The sight of all those sunshiny hexies brings a warm hug to my chilly autumnal day. I spy with my little eye the beautiful log cabin block in your sampler quilt. Oh my, what a feast for the eyes this quilt is. I am in love with all the gorgeous colours, and each block. This quilt truly is a vision splendid. Then.....you have allowed us to walk along the flower lined path stopping at each blossom to drink in the beauty. What a beautiful garden you have. Spring is having the best fun at your lovely place.
