a sprouting gnomie!

i just finished my sprouting gnomie mini quilt!! i am in LOVE!! when i saw this absolutely adorable quilt by amanda aka mrsmcporkchop, i had to make one with a little spin of my red and aqua cuteness!! :) i used my very first hexies so it gives that little extra sentimental touch. :)

the hexies are hand stitched together, and then i appliqued them on. for the quilting, i free motion quilted the seedlings.

a hiding gnomie, pattern found here.


better get back to work! i have lots to ship today!

    so sweet. I love your stuff. It truly inspires me. I have to ask, where do you get your blue embroidery thread. I love the color and haven't been able to find it.

    the aqua embroidery thread i got at joanns. it is dmc embroidery floss, 3846 light bright turquoise. it's my favorite!! it took me a little bit to figure out which one i liked best since there were so many shades of aqua.

    thank you so much!!!! I will head over there this week. My brother is getting married and the colors are red and blue and the colors you use are perfect. I have been very inspired for all kinds of goodies for them. Just couldn't find the right thread.
