It's been a while since I've posted. Nothing wrong - just life was very busy in the last two weeks. In between events I manage a wee bit of sewing.
Being it's Sunday - have a some
hand stitching to report. I got back to my Bliss hexies. Laying them out, I saw I had sewn one with the wrong side of the fabric out and prepped a couple wrong also, so it was back to the beginning on those. Got four done and now whip stitching together.
Four may not seem like a lot, however as you can see these have 2 - 3 pieces and curves, so they do take longer. If you're wondering what Bliss looks like, visit Julia at the
Hexie Blog Bliss starts in the 2016 Jan/Feb issue - all are free.
I continue to destash by slowly working on my projects a few minutes a day. I'm working on a new baby quilt top - that has used 0.63 yds. and I have 3.5 yds ready to donate to my guild for a grand total of
52.08 yds YTD.
I also kept quilting on a sandwiched baby quilt for
St. Anne's

| Most of this was walking foot stitching. The centers of the large blocks were done with FMQ. |
 |
| The quilting doesn't show much on the front. |
In the yard, cacti are still blooming. Here's one of my favorite Opuntia:
 |
| The flower buds are small but showy. |
 |
| Here's one open - measured around an inch - inch and a half when open. |
I love the color of these and when they are lighted up by the setting sun they shine like jewels.
Hope you get to sew today.
Blessings,
