It’s a beautiful summer’s day here in my part of paradise, just right for a spot of slow stitching outside. The birds are busy chirping away, and the scent from the flowering clematis wafting over the fence is just gorgeous. I did a little hand quilting this morning on my small Autumn wall hanging.
Hand quilting time
I’ve been a bit behind showing you the rather slow progress I’ve been making hand quilting my New Zealand Botanical blocks. Here are two more I’ve recently completed. The purple flowers are Poroporo and the other is golden Karaka berries.
Two more big stitch quilted blocks
With only two more blocks to complete, plus the border, I’m hoping to get some more quilting time when we are away on our caravan trip in the New Year.

Jenny you do such lovely work. Your quilt is going to be a treasure.
Merry Christmas:)
It's a lovely day down South too.
Your handxquilted blocks look lovely.
Lovely hand stitching. We will be staying home, a very quiet time , thinking the northern family will travel down after New Year. Less stress, less traffic (hopefully ) and if the timing works out, coincide with grandson returning to Wgn.
Love your hand quilting. Look forward to seeing it in it's entirety. Wishing you both a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.

that is a pretty quilt!
I love your hand stitching, they are very pretty. Grr it's not a lovely day here. It seems to have been raining for ever and I for one could do with some sun.
As always .... beautiful work! Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!
How lovely to have clematis hanging over the fence. It must smell divine! Such pretty blocks and your hand stitching is lovely. How gorgeous all those blocks will look stitched together in a quilt. I always smile when I think of you off in your van, discovering another pretty part of your world with your hand stitching in tow.
My favorite is the piece with the golden berries.
Looking good. It must be rather pleasant sitting outside stitching. I'm guessing there will be a finished project in the New Year.
The hand embroidery in these blocks is lovely! Have fun hand quilting!
Your hand quilting is going fine.. Hard to get a lot done at the moment.
I love your quilting project, hand quilting is so calming.
Lovely quilting, you got a lot done! The hand embroidered mug rugs you made for your friends are lovely, they for surely be treasured!
Thanks for stopping by my blog!
