Can anyone guess the theme for this one? I should have time to work on this later today.
I've sewn up the Garden Girls, made one of the pansy pieces into a doorknocker and am sewing the other two pansy pieces into handbags.
Photos coming very soon!

Garden Girl 3 Complete
I finished this design last night so now the Garden Girl series is complete. I'll do the finishing today on my sewing machine for all 3 of them and if all goes well, I'll get the digi out tomorrow and have some pictures soon of my finished projects!

Garden Girl 3 Day 2
I usually bead as I go along but this time, I covered all the seams first and then started beading.
I handpainted the lace beneath the girl. It's actually hem lace which is the perfect size for these small blocks. My mom gave me a whole shoebox full of hem lace in all different colors. Of course there was no purple so I made my own purple!
I expect to have some stitching time later today so hopefully, I'll have another update on this tomorrow.

Garden Girl 3
I've just started on this little block so hopefully, I'll have an update for you tomorrow.
Yes, I've gotten loads of stuff done today. Feels good to get caught up on things and still have time to stitch for fun!

Dryer Sheet Pansy Doorknocker
Well, I didn't get this straight on the scanner, but it's enough for you to see what I'm doing.
The background fabric is black cotton and the lace is vintage. I picked it up at a flea market last Summer.
I did 3 of these (I'm saving one of the pansy sets for a crazy quilt).
The next step is to sew them into doorknockers. I won't get to that today. I'd still like to get the border lace on the Shamrock CQ and I'd like to start on Garden Girl #3.
