Chateau hexagon and balls of yarn

I finally finished the row of flowers for my Chateau Hexagon block seven so I was able to join it to the quilt and add the row of hexies.  A poodle button goes on this block too in the gap among the flowers.  Only one more block to go for this quilt but I will put it aside for a while as I have some gifts to make.
My dear mum's wool winder came in handy this week.  I had a bit of fun turning hanks of yarn into usable balls and started on a new knitting project. I am loving the bright summery colour! And isn't my couch companion cute, Holly perches on the arm of the couch right beside me. Wendy xx

  8. Nice to see your CH project growing Wendy, it is very pretty. I haven't seen a wool winder like that - it looks very handy - I'm sure my Mum could have used one in her days of recycling knitting!

  9. Your CH is so pretty!! I have had to put mine aside as I am working flat out on customer quilts & my spare time is taken up with a BOM for the shop. I love your old knitting box. You have a nice furry friend to keep you on task.
