Hexagon mystery garden update

This is a mystery quilt I am working on and I have part 4 done and partial part 5 (not pictured) I love how she introduced the light it makes it looks so lacy you can still join there are 12 parts all the information is up still Jemima's Creative quilting  
These red annabelles are new to me I planted last year and I just love them they are sturdier, meaning they don't droop if a drop of rain falls on them they are so pretty
They match with my red brick path and they just make the garden look so dainty
I have to show my Alice Oak Leaf hydrangea again she is in all her splender I have to trim the bottom so that I have a path to the shed, the hostas around her were put in last year and they will grow very big as well. 
And of course...what would be a post if I didn't finish off with a little catatude Meara look at that nose she has such beautiful features. 

Keep stitching until next time.

Picture heavy-I mean it was a quilt show! Wellington Quilt show

I want to make this one for sure Jacks Chain a member of my quilt guild made it many years ago and I fell in love with it! I love how the maker on this one used scraps of various fabric so me!

Wonderful paper piecing
I love the medallion approach more and more in quilts 
The picture does not do justice to this one. 
Loads of hand stitching many using the big stitch technique look how love this is
I love the piecing on this quilt it is amazing
This blocks is a sample of the quilt on the right below and was donated for comfort quilts look at all that gorgeous cross stitch wow!!
Below I picked some of my sea lavender and I love how it just stays just like this I am drying it not a very pretty smell though for now
And I finished the top that I was working on with the swap baskets I was in 2010 love how it turned out
I know this was a while ago because Holly is in it and she has been gone 5 years now look at that Ted, seeing his pictures and videos then really reminds me of how he was and what he was like after his stroke he is melting right on my hands. 

 well lots of sew days ahead and lots of gardening hope you all get some quiet time.
