Although my machine has been idle lately, I've still been doing some stitching.I still had basted 1/2 inch hexagons remaining from a previous project, so I just had to stitch them together!
I used Thermore batting - super low loft, and great for table items. I turned the backing edges in, and hand stitched the edges.
I machine stitched the hexagons, with matching, and variegated King Tut thread, colour #918. It is now sitting on my small dining table, with a small vase of lily-of-the-valley, adding lovely scent to the room.
The whole project is just 16 inches across!

Holy wow, um I am glad you stated the finished teensy size...it didn't register until I read that, and then I looked and looked...and looked some more. Beautiful. A fitting mat for Lily of the Valley, lovely scent indeed.
ReplyDeletewhat a delightful little piece!! The smallest hex I've attempted is 3/4" -- not ready for 1/2" yet!!
