Two finishes

Hooray! I have completely finished the hexagon quilt which had been driving me crazy with boredom. I can't abide waste, and wanted to make up some of these rosettes for Project Linus. I've decided never again to do hexagons and managed to find the rest of them a good home with Kathie (I'm so glad she wanted them!).

Here is the completed quilt, looking quite sweet and fresh.

And I've also finished the stitchery from Caroline's blog. Once I had looked properly at the pattern, I realsied that she had clothes on, after all! Caroline will be posting another block soon, so make sure you check it out.

So, on to the next project. Andrea shocked me by saying she had a lot of scraps which she was going to throw away! I immediately volunteered to have them for Linus, and she gave me a carrier bag full of bits. Other people's scraps are always so enticing, don't you think? I'm part way through making something from them, so wait and see!

Whoops! Nudity?

I have recently been inspired by the lovely stitchery posted on Caroline's blog as a free BOM. (Check it out, you're certain to like it too!) I'm not sure what I'll do with it, but I thought it would make a great present in some form or other.
I haven't done many stitcheries before, but this one really caught my eye, it's so pretty, and looks easy as well! As you can see, I've only done about half of it, but it looked a bit strange. Was the lady with her feet up really naked? Had I stumbled into Calendar Girls' territory? I checked the pattern. Of course, I hadn't read the instructions properly! They clearly state navy for the body, not just continue with the flesh colour. I'll have to unpick it - or on the other hand, it could be quite a talking point!
