More slow stitching done.

Some more slow stitching done this week. I hate blanket stitching but had to do the pink piece with it. There was not enough fabric between shapes to do needle turn applique.

Daily life and having fun!

Well I have had a busy week and needed some stitching time this Saturday afternoon.

So I have to wait in the car,  I am not allowed in with him, because of the covid regulations. Grrr!!! anyway I have now prepped the hexi flowers and leaves to be appliqued and it will keep me busy for a while. Having fun with this wall hanging and changing it to include lots of my favorite techniques. I have added lots of hexi's and stars. Using all left overs of other projects I completed recently. I am just adding stuff as I go along. Next will be the small flowers to the leaves that I embroidered, but am unsure what I will be adding. Then onto a border, quilting and binding.
