Two Blooms -- One Flower Wednesday

I've been very busy, but I managed to complete two new flowers. Hopefully next week my garden will grow a bit faster. I think it is all this snow that is preventing more blooms.

One Flower Wednesday, So Scrappy Rainbow Challenge, THON

Here are my four flowers for One FlowerWednesday and for my Soscrappy Rainbow Scrap Challenge.  I would love to have more to show, but still NO SEWING MACHINE.  I'm supposed to get it early next week and what a happy day that will be.

PLEASE CONTINUE TO READ THIS IMPORTANT MESSAGE:
Most of you know that my four-year-old grandson George has leukemia.  This weekend we are going to PENN STATE to participate in THON.  This is a weekend to raise money for the Hershey Medical Center to help the children with cancer.  The Penn State students work very hard to make this weekend a huge success.  Use a search engine to find out more about Thon -- it is the largest student-run philanthropic event in the United States.  If you live in PA -- you've probably seen the students "canning" for the kids:) 


My daughter Allisa --Georgie's Mom-- recently posted this on facebook:  PLEASE CONSIDER SIGNING UP!!  We'd appreciate it and please leave a message that you've signed up as a comment here.


With THON right around the corner, I'm asking everyone to check out/sign up for the iGive program I've started.... it's completely FREE for you, but will help raise money for The Four Diamonds Fund - which is priceless! http://www.iGive.com/TheFourDiamondsFund Any questions... just ask. THANK YOU!!!



Thanks for your consideration -- Carol

When You Are Handed Lemons-- MAKE HEXIS!!

Yes, my machine is still at the shop so --  I thought I'd try my hand at English Paper Piecing.  I made a small table topper.  It still needs backing, quilting and binding, but all the hexis are joined and the paper is removed.


I decided to make flowers for a Grandma's Garden wall hanging.  Here is one flower I have together.


Here is a pile of hexis I've basted.

These are some of the red ones for the Scrappy Challenge.  I really enjoy making these -- I like hand sewing and they are portable

.

Keep your fingers crossed for me.  Hopefully by next weekend I'll have my machine back.  I miss it:(
