Work In Progress Wednesday.
Hexablooms
These are the ten hexagon flowers I made in the last 7 days. The total is now 260.
Bookmarks
I have completed the stitching of the bookmark, but will only show you the reverse. Once the gift has been handed over I will show the front.
I am stitching on a long and narrow length of canvas and have divided the 'ribbon' into six sections, meaning I will make six bookmarks.
To be able to place and stretch the stitching area in a hoop, I needed to add support fabric on both sides. As the stitching on the first bookmark is completed, I will move the support fabric further down the 'ribbon' and start on the second bookmark.
There will hopefully be more progress to show you next week.

Great progress! You are very disciplined to make ten each week.
That's a beautiful batch of new hexabloom flowers. And good idea to stitch up some bookmarks, I'm looking forward to seeing more progress. Your previous post with the darning stitch tutorial was well done too. We have snow and freezing temperatures here, I'm making sure to get out into the sun when it peeks out, it lifts my spirit.
I managed to make a few hexies this week but not sewn any together.
How very organised. I always intend to use a support fabric and then forget and freestyle it, muttering all the way!!
What a great way to do the bookmarks. You are so clever!
