3/4" Grandmother's Flower Garden Tablerunner

The hexie flowers I pieced during the winter are sewn together. Now I need to fill those gaps on the sides with partial flowers.

I'm hoping EPP'ing the partial flowers works with sitting on the porch, otherwise I don't know when they'll be completed!

In the summer I often share pictures of Wakarusa's Quilt Garden. I was in Waky last week, here is what the garden looked like.

I'm sure flowers have been planted since then. We've had plenty of sunshine and light rain, perfect for planting flowerbeds. I'll update you on progress in June.

Oh, I can see many hours with you sitting on the porch EPP-ing some more hexies. What a wonderful way to spend time. Your Grandmother's Flower Garden Tablerunner is beautiful.

Ah yes! Who doesn’t want to spend time outside now that Spring is here? Slow stitching in my gazebo is a favourite activity in the summer. Your hexie runner is gorgeous! Gail at the Cozy Quilter

I love that hexi runner and I hope you make time to do one half hexi a week… by autumn it’ll be ready to put together and quilt!
Lovely !!! Kathi

That's a beauty. I have an EPP project I started a couple years ago but haven't finished. I really should go dig it out and work on it.

That's a beautiful garden of hexie flowers, Gretchen! Enjoy your stitching this week!

Porch sitting and EPP is a perfect combination!

Jenny said...

Looking good! I'm sure you will have those partial hexies done and added shortly.

Great progress on your hexie flowers.

Your hexie flowers looks beautiful so far, Gretchen.
Enjoy your porch sitting time and happy stitching the hexies.

Your grandmothers garden is coming along beautifully. Enjoy the porch epping. You'll have the finished before long. Happy stitching :)

Porch sitting sounds like the perfect EPP setting to me!

Sara said...

Wow! That's a beauty!

I hope you get lots of porch sitting in the coming month. And I hop it includes EPPing. Look at akk that black dirt ready for color! Even that’s gorgeous ( to me anyway)! LOL

Your runner is beautiful, Gretchen! I love your deep, rich color palette. Not what I usually associate with Grandmother's Flower Garden (usually I would think '30s prints, that apple green, yellow and pink). Did you say your hexies finish at just 3/4"?! Gorgeous!

Stitching EPP hexies on a porch sounds like heaven. I look forward to seeing this pretty table runner when it is completed. Enjoy your stitching. I always love seeing your photos of the Quilt Garden.

I love how your table runner is coming along. EPP is so portable you can do it anywhere, that's part of the beauty of it, right?
I'm looking forward to seeing the flower bed later in the year :-)

Slow stitching on the porch sounds like an ideal way to pass the summer. Thanks for joining Sew & Tell.

Kate said...

You've made good progress on the hexie project. Hopefully you've been able to stitch a bit from the porch this week.

Sitting on the porch doing the partial flowers sounds perfect to me!
