Over a year ago, I started a Grandmother's Flower Garden table runner, made up of English paper pieced hexagons. I blogged about it here and here. At some point, the project got put aside for other things, mostly because I did most of my stitching in front of the TV at night, and suddenly I found myself with a sleeping puppy in my lap instead of a needle and thread in my hands.
I have wanted to get back to the project and have found the perfect motivation....One Flower Wednesdays. Karen at Journey of a Quilter came up with the idea of a weekly goal to make at least one hexagon flower per week, and to post your progress on Wednesdays. She's calling it a Garden Party and has invited anyone working on a hexagon project to join in. You can find a link to her post about the project in my sidebar if you'd like to join the party.
Hi Em, So glad to see you are motivated to finish this project. I had grand plans of making a flower garden quilt from scratch but it sadly has been put aside also. I might follow your link, I think a week-by-week goal is a great idea and one that I could follow! Much love, Sam xox
ReplyDeleteperfect, i have a top from my sister that I can work on, surely I can do one block a week- its not flower garden but I plan to do it by hand so does that count a little? cw
ReplyDeleteSuch pretty blocks. Sounds like a great project.
ReplyDeleteHmmm. That sounds like a motivation and I have a hex quilt in progress. But not flowers. I wonder if it would fit in? Lane
ReplyDeleteLovely to see your flower garder Em. Hope to catch up again on another Wednesday :)
