Thank you for cheering me along with my latest project! I've settled into a rhythm stitching on these in the evenings and the "hexie quilt" is growing a little more each day. After laying everything out, I've settled on having nine flower blocks surrounded by a single white border, which will make a square quilt about 44 x 44-inches. The perfect snuggle size. But before I've even gotten this quilt finished, I've already got my eye on the next quilt project after seeing this darling piecework by PamKittyMorning; part of a "row-along" from Bee in my Bonnet. This flickr group pool is inspiring, isn't it?
So... still thinking about those cute row houses, and drooling over fabric, and let's see what else...oh yes, little doll is patiently waiting to be adorned in vivid color. Will it be hearts, flowers, or ladybugs? Decisions, decisions.
While I'm here with camera in hand, and since I'm way overdue for a "corners of my home" photo, here ya go. This vintage vanity table makes a sweet sewing nook.
I've been watching the old episodes of Heartland again with my youngest daughter (who is a crazy-in-love-with-horses kind of gal), so I certainly have hearts on the brain. We HEART Heartland in a BIG way around here. (We have the DVD's, but you can still watch some of the episodes here.)
I also "hearted" this Redwork sentiment so much that I included it with this month's Bonus Designs. My needle has been flying lately! I've also got another project underway with the "East or West, Home is Best" design too. I'll save that bit for a show and tell next week. Until then....big hearts to all!
Your sewing table is darling and welcoming;)

And that all came together with a few evenings of stitching? Wow. I love the little embroidered images tucked in here and there. Perfectly charming. Now you've introduced me to another new thing: tv.com so I must check this out further. Thank you!

Things are so bright and cheerful here! I love the quilt, and those embroidery patterns are so sweet. That book is very hard to find. I looked and looked, but couldn't find a copy. I was thinking that your own embroidery book contains a lot of charming motifs that would be perfect for a similar project though.

I looked for the book as well, and it seems that most available copies are in the UK. Anyway, I love hexagons, mainly for their portability. Combining them with embroidery is a charming idea!
