I've never been a big fan of HSts, but it seemed a good project for the ladies at a Church House Group to tackle.
Assorted abilities, but over the last few months we made this, and on a recent Sunday we gave it to a lovely lady in the village, who, like the quilting on this, holds everything together!
I have experienced a deep, but unexpected love of HSTs!!!!
I don't know that I'd want to machine a whole pile of them, but hand stitching while chatting with friends and drinking coffee is a whole other matter!
As the original HST project was totally finished they wanted to start a new one, and this last Sunday must have sewn 50 or so together! This time I used odds and ends of charm packs - the charms that didn't make the final cut in whatever I used the rest of their family for - and added white. I'll ask them what arrangement they like best:
Flying Geese
ZigZag
Or like this
Looking good eh?
I started this blog for me - it expanded to show BFF Jackie what I was doing - and a few others have invited themselves too - everybody welcome! Mostly about patchwork, with random comments about embroidery, family and life in general, come on in, put your feet up, and I'll put the [virtual] kettle on.
