I am creating this post today to test if I, too, will be having problems with uploading photos.
It seems that several other bloggers are having difficulty adding photos to their blog posts. I don't want to have to deal with this issue tomorrow when I reveal Sunbonnet Sue's adventures.
So here goes:
Here is a sneak peek of Sunbonnet Sue's reverse side.

Hexablooms
As I had to make one more column of hexagon blocks, I have been working hard to make the parts.
First, I interviewed the fabric in my stash and decided to add the column on the right side, where there are darker blocks.
I selected fabric, pressed, cut and decided where to put each block. Then I numbered them, pulled out my box of hexagon card templates and started basting. I have made four stacks.
I have also basted 7 white hexagons and 17 with metallic fabric.
It is time to take a look again at these recently worked stitches and then let Sunbonnet Sue relax a bit.

This stitch looks similar to the #43 Moss Stitch but is much easier to do.
Fixing the stitches on the reverse with glue or some other stabiliser is the trick here.
Or should we call this weaving?
374: Whipped Reversed Fly Stitch
This stitch is highly decorative and usually puzzles people: "How was this made?"
Isn't it nice to quickly change the look of one of our most common stitches from its square form to a tall and slim one?
Homework:
Sunbonnet Sue is fatigued after the long and hot summer. She needs to chill out and relax.
The Oblong Cross Stitch is easy and smooth, with a striking look.
