More of the Spring Stitching Club

I seem to be running a week behind but I'm OK with that.

I am delighted with Mollie's embroidery patterns and although I modifies some of the thread colours slightly - I didn't seem to have all the ones she recommended.... I still feel like I am part of the club...

Spring Stitching Club

I signed on to Mollie Johanson's Spring Stitching Club.  I couldn't resist as it's a hexagon pattern.

She suggested the centre of the hexagon flower should be in linen.  As I don't have any linen, I decided to use a plainish cream fabric (insert shrug...)

Then she suggested we use solid fabric for the petals of the hexies.... ahhh, I didn't have a very good selection of that so.... I went with some gorgeous fabrics I got at the wonderful Drumheller Quilt Shop called Bit's and Pieces.  They are from the Bella Collection by Amanda Murphy.  As well as some Robert Kaufman Kyoto fabrics that I deemed worthy of this project.

The Canadian Blogathon

So I was zooming around in the blog - o - sphere, and I found this Canadian Blogathon that is going on right now.  And then on someone else's blog I see that the hosting store in TO has a club or something like that that will send you 10 new fat quarters every month for a reasonable price.

Much searching later I found it on the Sew Sisters web site.  So for 18.99CAD you get 10 new fat quarters.  Oh, yeah, and that includes postage...Sounds grand (and cheap too...)  Here's the link to the Bargain Lovers Club on the Sew Sisters Shop Site.

Winter is here and the sun starts setting by supper time...It's pretty though.
