History,hexagons and homemakes

Hello fellow bloggy friends , its a gorgeous day here in york it feels like a hot summers day the garden is still full of flowering geraniums in my painted pots and the grass is still growing its hard to believe were nearly in october already , i had my usual trip into town and thought ide take a few lovely shots of our city for you in case you havnt been already

Veiw across the river ouse which is a hive of activity in peak summer with boats, canoes and boat cruises, i took it on one of our many bridges

cliffords tower

The famous "Betty,s tea rooms " which is as good now as it has ever been , i remember my mum and sisters going when we were very young as a treat and its still going strong today , the food and service is fab and really worth a visit

Bar walls , these are amazing to walk around, not the best picture of them

York minster

The shambles
Im very lucky to live in such a wonderful historic city , i suppose i take all these wonderful sights for granted

Ive been quite busy the last week and had a stinker of a cold which is only just going , im still doing my hexagon patchwork

Although its very time consuming as i havnt any fancy gadgets , just my cardboard hexagon tenplate,pen,scissors and paper, it really does feel like its been completely handmade, its still one of my favourite pastimes

These

are all pretty vintage fabrics which im using
This is a hexagon quilt i made years and years ago , its certainly stood the tests of time , its very random and is starting to fray a bit now but ile keep it forever

I made this little apron too , its so sweet

Few more homemakes , this is also for my daughter, i think she suits it

Crochet scarf, ive a long list of things to make which i will post about next time and hopefully more of my hexagon throw to show you so must go , enjoy the sunshine ,love francine, also love all you lovely commentsx
