I joined with lots of others on Friday night for Friday Night Sew In, which is being temporarily hosted by Wendy at Sugarlane Quilts. Thanks for hosting us Wendy!
Some of my sewing was of the secret variety, but I did start to join my 1 inch hexagons together for the front of a bag, which will be my SAL project for July. I love these Double Chocolat fabrics designed by 3 Sisters, I got a charm pack and some yardage from The Art of Craft in Gore.
And for the cross-stitchers among you who thought I had crossed over to the dark side quilting side, some stitches were even added to my Christmas Garden piece. I've been working on this a little lately, the bottom pic is where it was at way back in December.
It's a stunning winter's day here in the Deep South, a day to throw all the windows and doors open and enjoy some beautiful sunshine....prune some more roses, and maybe get some time in the sewing room later too. Thanks for stopping by today....... Nicky x

Hi Nicky, it's been a great day here too, and quite mild for this time of the year. The little hexagons are lovely, look forward to seeing your finished bag. Christmas Garden is looking wonderful too, I think I'm at the same stage as you. Many thanks for sending the little pattern my way too. Have a good week!

Every time I see your lovely quilting projects, I wish I knew how to quilt, Nicky! Those tiny hexies are so perfect and pretty!!
And, of course, I love your BBD piece--glad you haven't totalyy crossed to the "dark side!" Ha ha!!
Your hexie project looks great...I love those colors too.
Glad to see a little x'ing too. Beautiful sampler!

I love the colours of the hexagons, beautiful
Love the fabric in your hexies..there are a lot of stitches in your cross stitch..it looks lovely
There is something about little hexies - so cute. Did you hand stitch them all together? Lovely colours Nicky - as always! So glad that you are getting a burst of winter sunshine too. Enjoy.
Yay, another cross stitcher! I love that design Nicky, and yes this is a very slow craft indeed... beautiful work x
Nicky, your hexes are yummy! I've been doing a few lately and getting awfully fond of them. Loved your snowy pictures a few posts back too.
Those are both gorgeous projects...normally I'm not a big fan of hexagon quilts but maybe it's been the fabrics I've seen used. I love the Moda fabric you've used in yours, you may convert me! BBD Christmas Garden is a treasure. :)
Hi! I just found your blog and I love it! You are very talented!!!
PS: I love the snow pictures with the cows...it's 34C here (in France) and I can't wait for a little cooler weather!
