Quilts, stitching and orchids

Another Bonnie Hunter quilt top is done. This is the mystery quilt from 2013, Celtic Solstice.
I did uses her colorway, green, blue, orange yellow and neutral. It is a scrap quilt and all from my stash.
Why does it seem that the stash never goes down? When Bonnie created this mystery she gave us directions for two sizes.  This is the small size.  It still has over 50 blocks in it.
Now off to my quilter. 

Last Thursday at the weekly sew, I started to put this quilt together.I had two kits, that I found in my "things to do". Does that happen to you? It is right in there with buying two patterns, because you really like it.  These kits came from "Little Quilts" in Atlanta, Ga.  Not sure how long I have had them, but a few weeks ago started making the butterfly blocks. I have two more rows to attach, then borders.  It has been a great project to work on, on Thursdays. 

In the evening I am enjoying working on cross stitching.  I like to do small patterns. I finished this one last night.
Still not sure what I will do with them.  I have ideas for covers of journals, small purses, draw string bags.  I have made several zipper purses with some I have stitched.  I have plenty of ideas.

This one is for an exchange that I am involved in.  It has been fun to add this to my things to do.
I have liked it so much that I have purchased a couple new books.
They are all in french!  I can't read a word in them, but do recognize some of the names of flowers and objects.
I can read the number of  the colors used. I have a chart that converts the numbers for DMC to Presencia threads.

Some of you know I have a few orchids on my windowsills. I wanted to share the current ones in bloom.
I have no idea what their names are, but think they are so pretty.

Check out this one.  Love the veins.  So pretty and bigger then the other two.
From the looks of the others on the sill, at least two more have developed stems for flowers.

This is some of what I have been up to.
Hope you have a great week.
