Ten embroidered silk pieces for patchwork.

Each of these measures two by two and a half inches and will be used with pre-cut one inch petal templates.

They will form a motif identical to the floral pieces in the post yesterday. 

As each of those flower motifs requires eight petals I definitely have more of these to embroider.

Patchwork pieces, some for my stash and some for my current project.

The embroidery hoop is full of hand embroidery which will be cut out and used in more patchwork.

You might be able to see some embroidered pieces in the large floral patchwork pieces. 

That is the plan for the pieces in this hoop.

My newest quilt, Geo Stars, has just been published in the Spring 2026 issue of Quilter’s World – Precut Quilts Made Easy by Annie’s Attic. The quilt measures 70″ x 70,” and the blocks finish at 20″. The nine blocks come together very fast!

I worked with fat quarters from the Chromatics collection by FreeSpirit Fabrics. I repeated the light blue around the blocks to bring a little harmony to ...

I'm going here tomorrow for 10 days.

This little sewing kit should keep me going for a few evenings whilst I am relaxing on the balcony.

Hexagons of Liberty fabric and paper templates for Grandmothers flower garden motifs, all gathered and placed in a hand made pocket. 

Meanwhile, if you get bored, there are lots of videos on this link.

My fabric painted pieces are now evolving into a wrapping cloth.

(girls in class, I made you a short video explaining this) 

Sections of white cloth will be added to fabric painted pieces after they have been embroidered and patchwork added to the white space.

Seams will be embellished with running stitch, French knots and bullion knots.

It's growing quite quickly but next up I need to embroider another painted piece.

 All Quiet on the Stitching Front

There's been progress with this piece, you last saw it here.

It's turning into a patchwork piece....unintentionally.

I like it though. I especially like the patchwork flower. 

I like the flower so much that I've made extra.

They will not be used here though......or maybe one would fit in that empty corner of gingham.....hmmmmm.
