Who doesn't like worms in the garden? They feed on litter and debris and convert it to a mucus-rich excrement loaded with nutrients and minerals that forms a foundation of quality soil. All you have to do is feed them a little compost. Now, doesn't that sound yummy?
My flower garden is growing by about a worm a week. A single row of border hexagons is making its way around my garden. I started by stitching down one hexagon at a time, but in no time that became very annoying.
So, following the shape of my flowers, I stitch together six hexagons, before attaching them to my garden. This way I have a longer run of continuous stitching and it works out to the equivalent of stitching one and a half flowers a week.
Flies, worms and flowers exceed me still.

Your worms are so cute.Thanks for the great Idea. I've been sewing long rows together and it's a confusions, sometimes I sew the hexagon sides the wrong way.Keep up the good work and show us your advances.

The worm idea makes a lot of sense. Your flowers look lovely.
Darling worm and a great idea for doing a border. Thanks for all you do to keep us all together for One Flower Wednesday :)
An interesting concept to call those worms and they do look like worms....of a certain type.
What a clever idea and your quilt is looking just gorgeous!
Cute Karen! I have had a busy summer and will get back into the flower garden hexie party this next week. I have missed all the sharing of everyones blooms!

We get the fattest biggest worms without even trying and the Robins are so thankful LOL. Your worms look much nicer. It would get tedious to do one at a time!

The worm is a great idea! I'll have to remember that if I decide to put a row between my flowers.
Too cute, great idea to sew your border that way.
Your hexies are looking gorgeous, great idea sewing the little 'worms' like that!!!
Love your worms - they kind of look like night crawlers! Many a worm I have threaded on the hook when my dear old fellow and I went fishing! That really is a good idea to give you some steady stitching instead of so much start and stop! Have a great weekend. I did get my blog working, thank goodness! Carol
Nice idea... it makes me laughing:) I mean your worm is so fancy! And I'll remember your great tip for the bordering my flower garden with hexagons... some day;)
Cute little worm, what a clever idea to stitch the border hexagons like that, I will remember that when I start to do the border. Looking forward seeing the whole flower garden.
I like your worms. I might add one or two to my quilt...maybe...we'll see.
is there something wrong with the linky tool? I added my link a few hours ago and it still hasn't shown up?
If you click on my name it will take you to my blog
