Hi everyone,I haven't been on for ages,thought I would up date.
Well, as you know we crafters always have 10 things on the go all at the same time.I have decided to try and catch up with things ,and finish a few.
Finished the Aran cardie,made my grandsons birthday card,made a couple of necklaces whew getting there.
I have also started a Christmas tree box for a friend(made lots of these in the past,didn't think I would ever make another one,but every year someone asks me to]

the front and back of Bryce's 4th birthday card.

Christmas tree sweet box ,will put a pic of finished box on later.

The hexis are all finished and stitched together,no idea what to do with the edges,any ideas gratefully received.Happy crafting everyone.

Some News ...

Hi,

just wanted to share a few pictures.

It is progressing well - this project. It is beginning to look like a nice quilt! :-D

3 row finished - and put together ...

"flowers" for the next row are almost ready....

and some of the stitcheries are already done!

I am really loving this ... can't decide if it should turn out like a nice bed-spread, or a nice "comforter" on the sofa ... Guess it is going to be on the sofa ... i don't want to "hide" it in the bedroom! ;-)

Last week I received Issue 4 of the Vignette Magazine ... I am definitely going to try out Leanne's suggestion for quilting ... when I reach that point! :-D

Happy Hexing !

Hexagon Rows

I have been joining blocks and joining blocks.....

And I now have my three and a half rows ready for the stitched white hexagons to be done before I then join the rows together.....

And look what I have done.....

Set myself a goal to have this completed by the end of 2011.....

Not sure if that was such a great idea as I think I am going to hand quilt it the same as Leanne has done in "Vignette" Issue 4......

Until next time, Happy Stitching....

Here I am again

So my finger is healed and now I can go further with my project. The garden is apllicated on the backgroud fabric and now I much choose how to quilt.
Also I made two flowers this week, one 3/4 inch and one 1/2 inch.

A newcomer

Hi everybody! This is my first post, and I am so happy to be a member of this blog! I haven`t started on my hexagon quilt yet, but yesterday I ordered 600 hexagon paper templates :) As soon as they arrive I will get to it. I think I will use fabrics from my scrap collection on this first quilt. Can`t wait to get started!

Have fun sewing!

Dusted off the Hexi Box

 I thought I had better dig out the hexi's this week as they have been tucked away since the retreat and I have been keeping myself busy with retreat projects and swap projects.....

I have now joined the last 18 blocks into blooms of four with a white

centre and sorted the ones that have a white corner hexagon.......

So no more individual blooms floating around the house....

I now have three and a half rows to join together......

Until next time, Happy Stitching

Ok, so I finally got the camera out and took some hexie pictures. Hope you like them as much as I do. They are all my favourites!

 

 

Now I have the 'hexie bug' again there should be more pictures soon ... when I counted my pile yesterday there were 103 finished.

HAPPY STITCHING
