I was busy finishing of my table topper on Monday. All the hexagons are hand sewn together, then appliqued on top of the material. I machine quilted it to finish it off. (click on the photos for a larger photo)

Close up of the back:
I was thinking I may sell this in the summer for around $50 to $60, what do you think?
I also finished a small tablemat, it's approx. 8 inches accross. I hoped to get maybe $10 for this. This is all hand sewn and has a heavy duty interfacing between the fabric layers........

I also took a couple of cuttings from the Fensham Lemon Geranium, again to hopefully sell in the summer.

Absolutely beautiful!
Yowzer, Gill! That is a lot of work, but very beautiful. I hope you get the price you're wishing for ~ I don't see why you wouldn't!
Both your pieces are beautiful Gill!!! I'm sure you could get your asking price for them :o)
Hi Gill, Happy Birthday to your Mam. I thought your table topper was beautiful too by the way. I think I have my comment problem solved. I'm using a different laptop. All I have to do is get used to the keyboard as I keep making so many typo's, but that won't take long and I am so happy I can comment on your blog again :)
Have you an Etsy Shop that you might put some of your work up to sell Gill? I know that I for one would buy a piece of that lovely applique...
