It may take a while

For some reason, I decided I'd like some patchwork in silk.  I took a large piece of silk, used one of my great grandmother's transfer and added lots of french knots and web stitches.  Before I'd finished, it got put away while I did something else, and then I forgot about it.  I found it last week when I was looking for a particular hoop, and thought I'd better get some more work done on it.

I finished all the stitching, and then up it went for damp stretching.  I then forgot to take a photo, but when it was ready, it got cut up and I'm now making hexagon flowers.  Each of these hexagons measure half an inch!
It's tiny, but I love it.  This will definitely take a while.

Time for Tea

Heidi organised a Quilters Day swap.  Yesterday my package from Leanne arrived.
Inside were the two most beautiful mug rugs I've seen, or owned!  They are stunning, I am so grateful for them.

Leanne also included a quilting pattern and some embroidery transfers.

Thank you Leanne for such a wonderful gift, and a big thank you to Heidi for organising the swap.
