I Like Thursday # 92 ~ G is for Grandmother's Flower Garden

Here is my uppercase G Block for my Alphabet I Spy Quilt

G is for Green

Green is one of my favorite colors in quilts. 

I love the green text fabric in the sashing on my 

Sundrops Jolly Bar Jazz Quilt

G is for Grandmother's Flower Garden Quilt

Here is a hexagon flower that I hand stitched with the plan to make a 

Grandmother's Flower Garden Quilt.

It was made in 2009 when I was first learning to hand stitch.

Although I have a stack of these, I will need many more to make a quilt. 

This was not made with a template like traditional EPP.

Can you tell how it was made?

I will be posting how I made this soon.

G is for Gratitude

I am grateful for my family and friends

and all life's gifts.

Life is Happening

I may not be able to make my alphabet blocks for a few days. 

I hope to catch up soon with these blocks.

I will be away a few days spending time with a loved one,

who is being released from the hospital.

I will be taking my hexies and my hand work

to sit and stitch.

Be Back Soon! 

Thank you for visiting me!
