WIPW - Another Productive Week

I've had a rather productive week - I've stayed at home as much as possible to avoid the heat, and thus have had time to stitch.

Here is my Work In Progress Wednesday report.


Mandala

All four areas have been filled with Colonial Knots. 

I started looking for a braid or something suitable to add... more on that next week.



Sunday Stitch School Indigo Stitch Sampler

Here are #304 Single Knotted Cable Chain (red),  #305 Kalem Stitch (green) and #306 Whipped Back Stitch (light blue with orange and purple).



Hexablooms

I picked out 40+ blocks in grey, black, blue, wine red, purple and green. These were then arranged the way I wanted.

I also stitched a piece of paper on each one with the coded placement.




Baby Quilt

I appliquéed on a few blue circles, by machine, and then quilted the pieced blocks.


Next, I will quilt the outer borders.


Binding

I made a long roll of binding by stitching together 6 cm x 11 cm pieces. Part of this roll will be used for the baby quilt.

Staying home to avoid the heat has been great for your projects. I like the scrappy binding for the baby quilt and your hexagon arrangement looks really good!
