As I mentioned before...the Olympic games have given my stitching hands a real work out!
This little mini has been keeping me occupied with a bit of applique, embroidery and pick stitching...
It is nearly finished...
I've also been chugging away at the 'wedding quilt'....all applique so far...
And I have been drooling over a fantastic gift given by my sweet friend, Sara :)
Sara was just in the UK enjoying the Olympics and thought of me while in the Liberty shop! Oh my STARS!
She picked up a package of pre-cut hexies and papers....of course, all yummy Liberty fabrics!
Seriously! Is there anything more beautiful!
I am such a greedy girl - all I can think of is how I want even more!
I love it!
I am so lucky to have such wonderful friends....thank you Sara....I **heart** you!
It's Friday!

ReplyDeletethe peek of the wedding quilt is beautiful! I will have to go into Liberty, had no idea they sold pre cut hexs - having avoided the main shopping areas during the Olympics!
ReplyDeleteOoh Mary what size are your hexies ?
ReplyDeleteI'd love to send you some Liberty squares from my stash to add to your collection! By way of a thank you!
But you are equally as wonderful Mary!!
ReplyDeleteLove having a sneak peak at all your gorgeous projects. And Liberty fabrics, hmmmmm, nice : -)
ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing snippets of your lovely quilt. I can hardly wait to see the finish. :o) What a labor of love.
ReplyDeleteSuch nice fabrics from abroad! :o) Have fun playing with them.
My hands have been busy during the Olympics too. :o) I will have a case of Olympic withdrawls, I am sure!
You're quite welcome! I was looking for a little something to bring back with me and when I saw already cut English paper piecing in Liberty prints I knew I had a winner. ;) Enjoy!
ReplyDeletelucky you to have such a sweet friend!
ReplyDeleteI love your beautiful stitching projects. It dosent get much better than Liberty except when it's Liberty from a friend, those beautiful hexagons will remind you of Sara and always make you smile.
ReplyDeleteWow. Real live liberty? Lucky you. Enjoy ; )
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed lots of hand work during the olympics too. I am sad they are over cause I have no excuse to sit and stitch now!
