Autumn Mini

I have finished the Autumn mini hanging so it is all ready to hang next week - although it is feeling autumnal this morning with a grey sky. We had some rain overnight but once again only just enough to wash off the dust. Anyway, back to the hanging.


I ditch quilted by machine around my Migrating Cranes, the centre block and the little squares. Then I spent some happy time hand quilting the centre and around the hexies.




 I am very pleased with how this turned out and sad though I shall be to put away my summer flowerr baskets I am looking forward to seeing this every day on my wall.

Meanwhile work continues on the tablecloth....

Have a great weekend.

  6. Magnificent! I love the use of the coordinating fabric on the flying geese and the hand stitching is fantastic. My mother used to hand quilt all her early work and did exquisite embroidery........those genetic traits missed this daughter......my embroidery resembles that of the 8 year old I was when my Grandmother first taught me how to embroider and I don't have the patience (and now the vision...) to stay with it.......

  13. This is a lovely little mini sampler of flying geese, applique', and even hexies! You are smart to get it done in time for fall. I often find myself doing that, not finishing in time for the current year, and then forgetting to hang it the next lol.
