Watching my Garden Grow

My little seeds are starting to bloom! 

After putting the puzzle together...centers, leaves and a background...

...my garden is starting to take shape! (Of course they still need to be sewn together and some sunshine is needed - pictures are a little dark)

I love the hand piecing, it's very portable and at night I like to sit, relax, put my feet up and add to my garden.

One flower Wednesdays

A few weeks ago I clicked on the button One Flower Wednesdays and I was hooked!  I started making hexagons (after watching the great tutorials) and haven't stopped.  I started making a few flowers...

and then turned them into a miniquilt...

I enjoyed making the flowers so much I decided to make a quilt.  The fabric I'm using is is suppose to be for a  Little Pink Stars Quilt.  I started on it in February and made only 2 of the VERY small blocks (machine pieced). Months went by I received more and more of the fabric (BOM) but I just couldn't get myself to make more blocks - No Fun!.  So I decided to have some fun and make hexagon flowers - and watch my garden grow.

So here's the start to my garden.

The next step was asking my daughter to show me how to add a button to my blog.  She clicked around real fast - and there was the button! 

Thank you for sharing your hexagon flowers - they're beautiful! - I love the colors.

Siggy Mail!

I've received 5 more beautiful siggies - Thank You!!!  I really enjoy reading the lettters and hearing about the quilters and the reason they chose the design they did.  It's interesting hearing about their families, towns, interests and quilting/crafts they do.  Thanks for sharing a part of yourself with me.

50 Siggies!!!

My 50th siggy arrived in the mail today!  Thank you to all for these beautiful jewels and letters - it's so much fun to hear about quilters from so many countries.  I can't wait to sew siggies tomorrow and start collecting the next 50 siggies.  Here are the siggies I received last week:  THANK YOU!!!

Anniversary

Last week was my 22nd anniversary and my husband had flowers waiting for me when I got home from work and then took me out for dinner.  Thank you!

   

A Siggy and Vacation

Another beautiful siggy to post - 'Home Tweet Home'.  Thank you!  I just had to post this before I leave on a short vacation visiting my Aunt Do in Michigan and celebrating my daughter graduating from High School.

Have a nice week!

Beautiful Jewels

Over the last two weeks I have received 7 beautiful jewels in the mail. That's what Petra from The Netherlands calls the siggies she receives.  I think that's a great name for them.  They are treasured, beautiful, colorful works of art and they brighten up any day.  Thank you!

I know I've been a little slow on posting but work has been a lot of WORK and I seem to take a nap instead of quilting the past two weeks.  I've been known to doze with needle and thread in hand..... I have three siggies ready to put in the mail tomorrow and then I'll be all caught up on those.  I'm behind on all my other projects - eventually things will get done.  Off to do Laundry!
