Monday morning

Look!!, some more gorgeous fabric, this lot is from a Lady at a Stitch group I attend, this fabric is as old as me, if you look it has it's date on it and it's all Laura Ashley Fabric(Except the red at the end)

And some beautiful fabric from Lyndsay has arrived this morning!!

Thank you so much Lyndsay it's gorgeous

Here are the hexies that I have managed to stitch into flowers so far, I have lots more that I am tacking and stitching together. If you can't see your fabric then it is waiting to be stitched together!

Sunday I went to a Crop day in Melton Mowbray, which is Hosted by the lovely Lorna, who is also doing two hexagon quilts!

You can see Maddison stitching away in the picture

Lots of stitching/crafting and laughing going on!!

Well for some of us!!

And we went for a meal afterwards

Thank you for stopping by xxxx

I just love this

I do love a lot of stuff that Kell does on her blog,but this new one is my favourite Kincavel Krosses

Postcards

I have been a member  ( I have two accounts) of Postcrossing over 2 years, I love receiving Postcards from all over the world, and sending them. But I thought what a brilliant idea to receive some from my friends so I set up a Postcard exchange on A Crafty Natter and I have received some wonderful postcards the exchange still isn't over yet as I have some coming from overseas.
The Royal mail did destroy one of them, but it is the first one that it has happened to in two years.
It is a wonderful cheap way of sending exchanges.

Thank you, we always welcome squares for the quilts. The current one is being made up, but we are continuly making them for other quilts or I may be able to talk my friends into making a small pillow to go with it.

Stitched for charity quilt

Here is some actual stitching by me, but not for me, it is for the charity quilt we are doing over on a Crafty Natter for the Cats P raffle which is in September on their open day. When my friend Colly has made it up I will share a photo of it all finished in all it's glory.

.

I am plodding on with my crochet though and my hexie quilt still making up the flowers.I have just had some more fabric from a lady at the stitchy group I go to, lots of Laura Ashley fabric some is the same age as myself!

Thank you for continuing to visit and leaving  comments. I just wish I had more to share!

Here is the yummy fabric from Moll in Norway.

Thanks Moll

If you have sent me some fabric and I have not put a pic up, will you please let me know, my memory is going and I may of taken a pic but not uploaded it, and I am uploading pics so I have a visual reminder who sent what, as there are lots now.

Thank you all my friends!!

Pretties!

This is my Speciality stitch RR, that I have received back today, I took part in this RR with some friends on the Crafty Natter forum.

It's an RR with a difference instead of the usual cross stitch, we did a Band sampler and we all stitched 3 bands each and at least one band had to be cutwork.

We were supposed to do the first three bands, I have still yet to finish my top band, and I will add two more at the bottom.

I chose to use a linen called Copper, sorry can't remember any other details about the fabric, and some basic colours which I would like.

I have to say I am really pleased with the result.

An update on my hexie quilt, I have over fifty hexie flowers now and still going on with the fabric, just received some from Norway today.

I am loving doing these!!

Thank you for stopping by

Hugs Rachael xx

Pictures!!!!

It has been over a week, I should update you with what I have been up to!
My priority should be a charity quilt square that I am doing for the Cats Protection quilt that we are making over on A Crafty Natter
Here is how far I have got

I had started on the one on the left, but then I couldn't find it, so I dyed some fabric yellow and started again, but this is how far I have got, so I really need to crack on and get at least one of them done!


And of course I have been crocheting again!!
Here is the wavy blanket, it needs more purple/lilac in it as it will be for my Mum  (if I can part with it lol)

This is for my FIL although my daughter has asked for one in these colours, as she wanted this one but was disappointed when I said it wasn't for her LOL

This one is just one that I fell in love with the colours, I know a lot will say That's bright  (politely) lol I may add some cream to calm it down or I may just go with the flow !!

*****

Yesterday Wendy (no blog) and myself took a trip down south to visit Polly, we had a great day,it went too fast. But she gave me some more fabric for my hexie friendship quilt

Just look at this haul of fabric

27 yes 27 different fabrics, now please bear in mind these are scraps of fabric not FQ's well there are five that are  FQ's, as Polly saves her bits and bobs which is good practice

So I have lots of hexagons to cut out and tack on to fabric!! LOL

OH NO I have been looking on Sew and so!!!

I have some more items to go on my wish and to do lists.

Help!! I need more hours in the day!!
