One Flower Wednesday

Hello again from Melbourne..and I am so sorry to be repetitive but yes...it is still cold and wet,but a good time to sit and sew...We have to wait another 18 days to announce that officially Spring is here...but then we have to see what Mother Nature wants to do..she may have other ideas !!

One Flower Wednesday is here again...don't you think the weeks just fly by? This week I have to be on my very best behaviour as I introduce you to Constable T Bear who has kindly come along to help me to display my flowers.

Constable T Bear is a 2003 Heritage Limited Edition,which was commissioned by the Victoria Police Blue Ribbon Foundation to commemorate the 150 th Anniversary of the Victorian Police.Since 1853 the Victorian Police have served the people of Victoria Australia and help to make our State a safer place to live.



This week I only managed to get 5 flowers completed because of extra work commitments , but did manage to get fabric cut and ready for quite a few more. so I hope to do a little better next week, despite it being my second week of extra work..here's hoping!
My Flower Garden

Further to my post last week ,when I asked if anyone was able to help me out with the quantities of flowers that I needed to make.........well, my very dear friend Julie in Perth came to the rescue in more ways than one.

Julie very kindly sent to me a lovely parcel of beautiful fabric to add to my stash for my hexagons,(Thank you again so much Julie)...Julie's Mum and my Little Sister in England had also sent me lovely parcels of fabric a few weeks ago so I do feel well spoilt.Bless you all for your kindness.
I was on the phone thanking Julie for the fabric..and she worked out that I needed to look at completing about 330 flowers...WHEW !.
OK...So in the beginning....there was just one little flower ..made with 3/4 inch hexagons...and I joined One Flower Wednesday.
Now they have blossomed to 45...I do hope that you will all keep me company please on my journey through this challenge...


.
I do have to apologise for my very short post this week...and know you will all understand that we all have weeks like this...Do hope that everyone is well and happy..

Until next time
Take care

Kate :)

  3. Great flowers you've made. Love the bear! And only a couple of days to go before spring. Hope you have warmer weather soon. That, however, means that autumn is coming here....
