My pile of Joy!!

Hi Everyone, 

My first post here, and in fact ever on a blog! 

Wow, I have loved this project.  I have never really completed much hand sewing before, so when I first started this I found it daunting, that lasted about the first hour.  Now it is pure joy!  I always have a clip lock bag with a few flowers ready to sew everywhere I go.  

The majority of my fabrics are from the Oh Cherry Oh range from Moda.  Here's my pile, I was not sure about the colours when I first started, but have fallen in love with them as the pile grew. 


Only about another 40 flowers to go, quite a few more blue and pink ones, and then the task of working out what rows I will create.

I've already picked out the fabric for the 2nd hexagon quilt, and am eagerly waiting for it to arrive from the US.   (Monica Solorio-Snow's new fabric range Happy Mochi Yum Yum)  I'm just as addicted to the cutting and gluing , so no doubt I will start on this one as soon as the fabric arrives.  


Till next time, take care!

Janelle I just love your choice of colours for your flowers.
Looking forward to seeing you put them together.
Oh yes making hexies is very additive. LOL
