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!

29 Down, 101 to go!

The past week, I have been adding to my little pile! I now have 29 and stitching my 30th!

Pretty happy with my fabric choices! Though, I need to make some more of the teal/blue colour.

I love the little pile, but when I spread them out, it doesn't really look like many!

Only 101 to go................

Everyone's blooms are looking fantastic! There are going to be some lovely hexagon quilts about!

Happy Hexing!

Blue Hexagon Flowers

Hi!

My name is May Kristin, 

from KrispQuilt,

and this is my first post here.

I have really enjoyed seeing all your beautiful flowers.

You are all so clever!

I've been on the list for a long time, but haven't posted before...

...due to busy life...

...and...

  ...something in my head telling me I need to make more hexagon flowers

before I can even think of posting here...!

But I've come to a conclusion that I will ignore that little voice, 

so here I am with my blue hexagon flowers which

hopefully will be turned in to a quilt someday!

Wish you all a wonderful summer!

See you soon, I hope! :-)

Checking in.....

I have another 21 hexagons to add to my quilt top. I have also started stitching the fillers. I recently hurt my back so I have learnt to stitch flat on my back. The hexagons saved me from certain insanity - four walls can become very hmmmmmmm. The best part has been revisiting the fabrics from past projects. This quilt will certainly be a story of my past "sewings"  Happy Hexagons.........

Final Hexagon Prep Session!

I have spent my last day preparing the rest

of the white Hexagons for my quilt....... 

All cut, glued, traced and ready for stitching..... 

I have also basted the last of the blooms so from here on in it is just stitching, stitching & more stitching.....

Time to give my glue pen a hard earned rest *Grin*

Until next time, Happy Stitching

 Thought it was about time I showed some more of my hexies.

 

At last count, I'd made about 70. 

 

 I am finding them really good to take out ... easy to pick up and put down.

My husband spent 6 days in hospital last week so they were a nice distraction for me.

This weekend I'll be writing school reports and trying to finish a gift for a friend. Hope you find some stitching time too.
