I’m blinking as I just realised next WOW or WIP’s will be March!!! We will be nearing the end of the 1st 1/4 of 2020! I want 2020 to slow down as I’m sure it’s going to be a great year?
I stumbled across these little treasures last weekend, l must finish them, I want these for a little wall art, I love looking at these wee houses. I need to sew on the top and right side pieces, add a border, then sandwich it ready for quilting. It’s been left out on my cutting table where I cut those last 8 pieces yesterday hopefully I will get them sewn to day?
I hadn’t noticed till I went to pin on this strip I made up this morning that this corner is out by an 1/8th so need to unpick top corner seam cut of a smidge and resew then it should fit perfectly.
Last week I left you with my first corner done on Part two of Lovely Hope.
First corner of Hope all most completely appliqued down.
I have all the pieces cut out now for all 4 corners, ready to be appliqued. I have laid it out to see what it is going to look like, I will share with you.
All my pieces cut ready to be appliquéd down. Now for a few weeks of machine applique.
This week I’ve been laid up, unfortunately I have a infection in the stitches in my arm, so have had several days off. When Iv’e been able to do any sewing it’s just been circles for my Red and Green quilt.
I love this Red and Green quilt to be. After completing the last block I will have just as many leaves and grapes in the border!
I had this many circles ready to sew down, started to applique them done and realised I need to applique the leaves down first by machine, so I have been doing these leaves to day, if I do 4 each day by Sunday night I will be back to appliqueing my grapes down again. But unfortunately I’m going to run out of thread so I will have to wait till I can drive the car again and visit the fabric shop? I will just have to keep making circles!!!
When doing these tight corners I drop my stitch length down but leave my width the same, it makes it so much easier to work around them
On my cutting board this morning, not sure how they are getting in?
On the veranda catching mosquitoes for us LOL.
Ive just walked around the garden so so wet and soggy, I did not think I would find any colour to share, but when I looked behind and under it was surprising what was there?
New foliage covered with drops of rain look so fragile.
Last week these were in there full glory but the rain has thrashed them to a pulpy mess!!!!
A touch of gold hidden under other plants.
This young staghorn plant I tided to the palm is now secure and I can remove the shoe string now!
SO lovely to see her hugging the palm so tightly.
A huge flower head, such beautiful flowers.
when I thought there was nothing to photograph I turned around and there she was so open and so happy she just made me happy.
How beautiful nature is?
This is a palm flower and is often called the coral flower you can see why. One on the left is a young flower and covered in seed still but will grow bigger and drop its seeds too.
A beautiful fragile fern Ive been trying to grow for several years, its grows freely but a tthe base of the pool side Not a good place so we ahve to keep pulling them out, but this year my effort at transplanting one has succeed.
Each week the stigma on this Lilly gets darker and darker. SO beauitful.
I may not get any garden photos today it’s been raining for 5 days and the grounds very wet and soggy. Time will tell if it stops raining for me to go out. well I did get out and I did get some lovely colour.
Thank you for dropping in. See you again next week. Cheers Glenda
In a few weeks we will see these pink parts of the flower shot out bright purple tiny flowers????
Then theres a lovely splash of yellow?
Love the this yellow!!!!
