Owl and Hare Hollow HQAL

Posted on August 27, 2023 by craftycreeky

It’s three weeks since I shared my progress on the Owl and Hare Hollow, a bi-monthly QAL by Natalie Bird. I’ve not made as much progress as other times as I’ve been concentrating on my garden embroidery, but I have done some. Three weeks ago I’d just started another embroidered block…

I’ve now finished the embroidery for this one, I just need to add an applique circle in the middle and the nineteen 1/2″ hexies round the edge.

I’ve spent a couple of hours making lots of hexies, rather than making what I need for each block I’ve made half a dozen of each fabric, so they’ll last me a few blocks. There doesn’t look so many in my box lid but that’s about ten different fabrics, so about sixty hexies…

I’ve also started another embroidered block, this is my handbag sewing, so it’ll take a little while. I’ve almost stitched the leafy border, then there’s a wheelbarrow full of flowers in the middle.

About craftycreeky

I live in a busy market town in Yorkshire with my husband, kids, dogs and chickens. I love trying new crafts, rediscovering old ones, gardening, walking...anything creative really I started this blog after my New Year resolution worked so well. My resolution (the first one I've ever kept!) was to post a photograph of my garden on Facebook every day. My hope was that I would then see what was good in the garden and not just weeds and work, which was my tendency. The unexpected side-effect was that I have enjoyed many more hours in the garden. I am hoping that 'The Crafty Creek' will have the same effect. Happy creating!

    Your work continues to inspire and amaze me. And I for one am impressed by that stash of hexis.

    A mighty pile of hexies. A great deal was accomplished despite other chores/sewing projects. It always looks lovely and I always anticipate the final circle with joy.

    Those hexies look like a lovely pile of confetti! The completed block is really going to shine with the appliqué, but those bees can really stand alone already. It will be even more fabulous when complete!

    That’s a lot of really tiny hexies, but will be amazing when done
