Oodles of Colour.Hexagons Galore.

Top is all done.
A large single bed size.
All hand done.
The quilting will go into the to-do pile ;)
 
I love the intensity of the in-your-face colours.
Doesn't it ooze warmth.
 
Joyful and exuberant :)
 
Always stitching

Had to have that.
 
And a bit closer.
Have you noticed yet ??
 
 


Looks cute enough you say...
 
Fox n rooster ...

Bears tied by the nose!!

A smoking Rabbit...!!!
 
A design of its time.
 
1940/50's maybe
 
Oh how times have changed..
 
 
 
Will suit an un-PC stitching

with dainty doilies
 
vintage laces
 
vintage buttons
Mother-of-Pearl ones too.
 
and a paper whimsy.
 
Coffee dyed slub linen for hanging.
 
Still waiting for a good outdoor photo shoot. Too much cloud lately.
 
So bear with me as I couldn't wait to show you. :)
 












Oops. Blogger doesn't like the shape of some of
my photos so has turned them.
Anyway, you get the idea.
 
This is all 3 waiting for their photo shoot. Sometime soon I hope.
 
Having fun stitching
