Where has the time gone?

What’s going on? Time is flying by ….we are in the middle of February already!!

I have been fiddling around with a few little bits but I feel like I have been busy but not much to show for it.

I finally finished another Breast of Friends BOM block No. 12. This one is by Natalie Lymer of Cinderberry Stitches and I really enjoyed sewing it.

I have the next one traced out and that’s as far as I have got with that one.

~~~~~~~~~~~~

I have been working on the layout for my BOM and will have that up for you all soon…very soon.

I have also been doing a fair bit of blog hopping too and I love looking at all your blogs. You are all so very talented!! Just love it and I get so inspired by what you all do. I don’t get to go to a sewing group so blog hopping is my sewing battery charger. How do you recharge your sewing batteries? Do you go to sewing groups or are you rather isolated and too far from anywhere?

One day I am going to start a sewing group as I have the perfect place….but that is later on.

I am still in a Framed Hexagon Swap on the Craft Forum and the last couple of months have been exciting as these are the ones I received from

  1. That framed hexagon swap sounds interesting, Tozz. Is it something that is still open? Can you give the link to the Craft Forum that you mentioned. I skimmed through your sidebars, if it's there, I missed it, sorry.

  2. Beautiful renditions of Flirting with flowers. Love those framed hexagons really pretty.

    I don't have any close friends who stitch so Blog Hopping and Bulletin Boards are my way of connecting with other stitchers.

  6. Ooh your block is lovely, Vicki - love Natalie's stuff.

    I love seeing all the different versions of your BOM! I started mine yesterday - I'm hoping to finish both blocks this week. It's easier with all the Olympic coverage, it means I sit more. And I have to stitch while I sit!

    I recharge with blogs too, no sewing groups around here, or if there are, they're full. That's ok, I'd rather stay home in my jammies, lol.

    Love the hexxies!

  7. They are all so beautiful, each and every one! I've been recharging all winter by visiting everyone's blogs while I travel. I'm heading home to my sewing room tomorrow and can't wait to get back to work stitching and sewing! Everyone has been such an inspiration to me, I don't know where to start! ~karen

  8. Everyone's work is beautiful and so fun and inspiring to see. Thanks for sharing. I was wondering if the
    Framed Hexagon Swag is still open or if there is website we could go to. I have recently completed two of the "Flirting with Flower" blocks and also completed a hexagon wall hanging that you had instructions for. I believe they were for a Christmas ornament but I changed mine. I posted pictures on my blog if you'd like to see them. Nola

    It's wonderful to see all the different interpretations of your flirty flowers (snigger) BOM.... they're all bew-di-ful and so much fun to make!!!! I've just finished the second one...must blog it tonight too. I always meant to get to the Breast of Friends BOM....your's looks great.
    Blogs recharge my sewing battery too...but so does our guild group.... power to the Quilting community, in all its many forms!!
