This past week my "selfish" sewing project was my garden flag. Yes,I did finish it,however since it is also my Flags on a Stick project (button at top of my side bar) I can not show it yet. Sorry!
I can show you this little sneak peak though :) These flowers took up most of my thirty minutes a day this past week. Crazy right? Since I do not usually hand sew,it is slow going when I do. Each flower took me close to an hour to make. You will have to stop back by on March 28th to see the completed flag...
Last evening I embellished a dish drying mat with some circles for my thirty minutes. You can find the tutorial in the post below this one if you would like to make up one for yourself!
Next week (week 4) is my Mystery project! Have a great sewing week :)!
I so love your hexie flowers. You should post these on the Hexie Weekend link either on Angie's blog http://quiltingreadersgarden.blogspot.com/2014/03/hexagon-friday.html or mine http://www.billiebeesblog.blogspot.com/2014/03/hexie-weekend_21.html
ReplyDeleteYour flowers are so pretty! I can't wait to see the finished flag. Your dish mat is very cute also. I never would have thought to make one. You have such interesting ideas. Great job. :)
ReplyDeleteThe hexie flowers are sew cute. I love a good mystery.....can't wait!
ReplyDeleteSewing hexies takes me a long time too! I am very very slow (stupid hands!). I will say I find it to be very relaxing though :)
ReplyDeleteYeah! sewing hexie flower takes me almost an hour too. But it worthwhile as we can relax while hand stitching them. Happy weekend.
ReplyDeleteI can't wait to see your garden flag CeLynn! It's been so long since I've sat down to blog surf, I'm having lots of fun catching up! Love the hexie flowers, and stems.. it would for sure take me that long or longer to make one. I'm pretty slow with the hand stitching too. Cute dish drying mat. :) Hope you're having a great weekend! xoxo
ReplyDeleteThat's such a cute idea for the dish mat, CeLynn! Mine is just boring old grey : P Maybe I'll need a pretty update when I replace it!
ReplyDeletesuch cute flowers, cant wait to see the finished flag!!!
ReplyDeletecute little hexie flowers...i think i would be very slow at hand sewing also
ReplyDeleteLook forward to seeing your flag!
ReplyDeleteHow fun! I love those next flowers with the ricrac! I love sewing by hand so a little jealous right now :)))
ReplyDeleteI have not made hexies yet, but they are in my future. Your hexie flowers are very cute. Looking forward to seeing your Flag on a Stick. I better go browse around there in a minute at what is already posted! Also a cute dish drying mat...nice idea for a wedding shower gift.
ReplyDeleteDish drying mat?!?! Why didn't I think of that. No room on the counter for a dish drainer so I just use one of my good white kitchen towels. Then when I bake bread I run out of towels! Drying mat just got added to my 'stuff I want my Mom to make me' list : )
