Wednesday Flowers

Two flowers were made this week — one with 1″ hexagons and one with .50″ hexagons.  To see more flowers made this week, go to the page at Karen’s blog  here where there’s a list of all those making the flowers.

In my ongoing organization, I found these little stars — some of them made by me, some by a friend — made with .50″ diamonds.  That’s a penny on one of the little stars to give an idea of their size.  I have enough of the tiny diamonds printed and cut out to make about another 15 or 20 stars and am playing with the idea of a setting for them that will use 1″ hexagons.  That’s yet another idea that’s going in the ideas book as I’m trying to stay completely focused on the quilt for my aunt.

The back of the little stars.

At the moment, these are the only flowers to be seen on the roof garden.  Tuesday the gardener was busy out there adding soil to the flowerbeds, so I’m wondering if he’ll be doing some planting before the weekend.

There has been a lot of grackle and robin activity on the roof garden for Lester to keep his eye on.

Smudge seems to be not as interested but I have a feeling that if and when the woodpecker shows up, he’ll be on that windowsill in no time.

  1. It’s good to hear you are still concentrating on your Aunt’s quilt…..but it is nice to do a little stitching “just because” LOL.

  4. Cute little sewn flowers and stars! What are the pretty white flowers? Looks a bit like Philadelphus (mock orange) to me – that has a lovely soft sweet smell.

  5. I like the little stars and putting them with a 1-inch hexagon sounds very interesting. Love your hexagon flowers! They look lovely together. I wonder if it is possible to piece small and large hexagons together?

  6. Lovely flowers, the yellow is very spring-like. Look forward to seeing what happens with the little stars/hexagons idea…are the stars from the free collection?
