Applique Tuesday

Jury Duty - enough said. May last 5 weeks. It's a civil trial. Today we met the 6 lawyers.

Tonight I'm going to start to stitch these leaves. Oh so tired.

Design Wall Monday 3/10/14

Posting early - have the possibilty of Jury Duty this week.  And it's my busiest week of the month!

First my stash report.  I used about .12 yard to make 4 BOM blocks for my Guild's 2014 BOM.  It's a mystery this year.  Then I used another .1 to make leaves for the Hexie piece.  Still to sew those on.  I used another .12 to finish my bead on a string blocks for Block Lotto.  Then, I used a yard's worth of nine patches to finish a charity top.  Finally, I donated 3/4ths of a yard to the Thrifty Corner. This weeks total is 2 yards out and zero in.  Year totals on right sidebar.

So once the beads were done, I was able to put together my first module for the Mod Mod Qal at Block Lotto (button on left sidebar).  It will be on my design wall for most of the year as I make the other three modules to complete it.

Wish now I"d made the beads with all white backgrounds, but done is done - at least for now.

What's up on your design wall?  I'm linking to Judy's Design Wall Monday and Lyn's BOMs Away!

Hexie Weekend

Feeling a bit better - thanks to all who sent prayers, good wishes, and concern.  I appreciate each of you!

Before I got too sick to sew, I got this far on the hexie piece:

I still think it needs something, so I toyed with the idea of some embroidery around the flowers as we were to do for the Soupçon QAL.  But came back to this - appliqued leaves:

What do you think?  These are just pieces laid down to see the effect.  I'm considering the lighter green you can see on the top right and left flower.  Not sure.  I'll be interesting in hearing what you think.

The linky is below - would love to see your eye candy, hexie or otherwise.  Closes Monday, midnight.
