I have been slowly working on my hexagons again. I have a number of Pink ones done and have started to working on Purple now. I have a baggy of purple Hexagons prepared and ready for more stitching tonight as I watch TV.
I have added today's post to Kathy's Slow Sunday Stitching.
I thought I would show you a quilt I did for a special customer. This was done by Wendy and it is her very first quilt. My mom and dad had Wendy and her husband visiting from Australia this past week. They came to Canada in the winter to see what our winter was really about. They had great weather. No cold snap or big dump of snow or a great big frost over night. It was warm and sunny most days. My husband took them horse riding across the lake. They walked on water. Frozen of course. They took the horses though some tough snowdrifts. They also snow shoed, went for a ice walk, a dog sled ride and snowmobiling.
Anyway, Wendy wanted to learn to quilt. After the top was complete, I did the longarm quilting. Wendy had most of the binding hand stitched when she left for home. You can see the great western fabric in the close up shot. Great job for her first quilt.
Love your little hexies! And a wonderful first quilt for Wendy!
ReplyDeleteYour hexie flower garden is so pretty!
ReplyDeleteEnjoy every slow stitch today!
Thanks for linking up to Slow Sunday Stitching!
Yes, I agree, that is a great first quilt.
ReplyDeleteLove your hexies, too. Where did you get the inserts... assuming you are using some. I'd love to make a Grandmother's Flower Garden for each of the grands.
Hugs
Great first quilt. Sounds like they had great weather and a wonderful experience in the snow. Love your flowers - very springy.
ReplyDeleteYour hexies are looking very nice! Perfect first time quilt project too.
ReplyDeleteA first quilt is always special. And what a treat: the perfect winter vacation! I had an Aussie teacher in Grade 7 in SW Quebec. We taught him broom-ball and got him up on skates (*real* ice; outdoor rinks -- this was the mid-sixties after all!) Whenever it snowed he'd give us an exercise to do and stand at the windows and watch. :-)
