raspberry silk and pink gingham

Well I said I would have to see if this combination was going to work and here we are, tried and failed a couple of times but I think I am getting there. It definitely didn't work with larger, solid blocks of the raspberry dupion but hopefully this compromise looks good to you. Really I wanted a massive piece, constructed purely of hexagons embellished with applique and embroidery without anything else. I would probably have loved that but don't really expect anyone else to so out came the white silk, a little cutwork and a match up of pieces that will come together in the end. In my head I can see this finished, you however will have to wait a little longer. There is more piecing to be done, a little putting together and then edges, yes we need fancy edges.

Tomorrow is party time, a busy weekend ahead without much time for stitching. I hope whatever your plans are that you have an enchanting weekend.
( my new favourite word..........'' enchanting''. Maybe I should have a word for the week, now there's a thought!!)
