Grandmather's Flower Garden Runner

Hello my Friends!!!!
How are you?
How is your Summer going?
I didn't write so much lately...well...really...I didn't write at all...LOL!!!
So Today I would love to show you what I'm working on...

I'm making a Grandmathe's Flower Garden runner for my kitchen table...
I chose fall colors so I have to finish it before Fall...LOL!!!
I always loved so much this pattern but I know it's a bit tricky...
I'm sewing it all by hand using some plastic templates I bought several years ago...

I have to say that...I love hand sew...I find it so relaxing and I can bring these little hexagons with me everywhere and work on them easily...
In effect lately I didn't sew so much...I needed to start to sew again and this seems  the perfect project!

Few years ago I made myself a kind of portable workstation for hand sew or embroidery and I'm finding it so useful too!

Hope to be able to post my progresses soon!
Does anyone have any idea how to finish this runner?
I mean...I never made  Grandmather's flower garden and I know it's a bit tricky add batting and backing because of the hexagons...
Any help will be soooo appreciated!!!!!
Thanks!!!
Hugs!!!!
Dany

Patchwork Placemat

 Hello My Friends!!!!
How are you today?
I'm feeling better after the flu finally!!! YAY!!!
I'm still a bit tired and I still have a bit of cold but...definitely...I feel better!

I'd like to show you my new colorful placemat...
 I know...it's not an awesome or incredible project...I did much better in the past but...this is the 1st one of my new life...

I found so hard to find the "love of sewing" again...I think I'm a bit depressed and this is not nice...
So...I really loved to sew this easy and small project for get instant gratification ! LOL!!!
It has a patchwork centre realized with scraps of fabrics...
Then I sewed laces on 2 of the edges and added borders all around...

Quilted it  all and...hand sewed the binding ( this is my favourite part...I found hand sewing the binding sooooo relaxing!!!!)
And...TADAAAAA...it's done!!!

It looks great on my new table and make me happy!!!
Now...my next project will be a table topper...
I bought this new white square table, I love it so much!
But...I'd like to have a fun and happy table topper on it...maybe something that change every season...

Ok...that's all for today...
What are you working on?
I'd love to hear from you!
In the meantime...I wish a lovely day to you all!!!!
Hugs, Dany.
