Life has been so crazy…again…whose idea was graduate school? All I keep thinking about is all the stitching I am missing! 🙂 I have found myself posting to Instagram much more than my blog, but I am going to try to do better.
The awesome news is that I have completed all the flowers for my Grandmother’s Flower Garden! Woo hoo! Here is the very last one I stitched:
And here is what I have to work with:
And I have basted another 50 background hexies:
So you may be wondering what all my counts are 🙂 I have stitched together 925 – 1 1/2″ hexagons. Just totally amazing! I started this project 4th of July weekend in 2013. I am starting to see the end in sight.
I want to end this blog post with a personal endeavor. I have received my Grandmother’s 1924 Singer 66 Treadle machine. I am going to refurbish it so that I can use it. It has a lot of sentimental value and there is something so cool about getting back to basics. No electricity…just good old foot power. I thought I would share a picture of the sewing machine and of course included my GFG project!
I feel so thankful for all of you and for Jessica’s effort to keep the Monday Morning Star Count alive! I am linking up with Jessica at Life Under Quilts and all the wonderful people I have met that are so encouraging!
