Hexing along

I have to admit to having done very little over the last few days apart from baste and stitch these lovelies and watch Team GB at the Olympics.  There is something quite soothing about mindless sewing whilst shouting at the telly ;-)

I did leave the sofa yesterday to attend the LMQG monthly meet in posh St John's Wood.  I love seeing what everyone else has been up to.  The challenge for this month was to make something to represent what London means to me.  I have to say I am crap with these kind of things, I have no imagination!

Having ummed and ahhed over this for the last month, I decided that I had better pull my finger out on Saturday and make something.......

July LMQG challenge mini

 London to me after 11 years of living here is just home, so I made a cute little mini paper piecing both the bunting and the letters.  On the back I used the Underground print with the Northern line, which I have spent the best part of the last 11 years going up and down.

Now in exciting other news I have just signed up to learn how to embroider with the Queen of the stitch herself - Aneela Hoey.  There is only 10 spaces so if you want to sign up , you better had get over to her blog quick!
