It's not good photography weather at the moment. It's either dark, raining or foggy. Not good for pin quilt to tree and take photo. But anyway, I had some time in the weekend to put into the hexie quilt. I am now at the stage of making more hexagons. I need to make some halves to square it up before I go too far with whole new hexies. I am about half way through the fabric, so it may grow by about one third which will suit me fine.
And I have done a few more letters on the Sublime Stitchery Sampler. Not in love with the J. It reminds me of writing with Mrs Nutt, my Standard 4 teacher. Clearly, I didn't excel at hand writing because I turned out a printer.
I am in no hurry to complete either project.
Hi Karyn, I'm just wondering what size are those Hexagons? They look tiny! they are perfect.
ReplyDeleteFortunately not tiny. 1 3/4 inches per side of each hexagon!
DeleteYour hexagons look really good. What do you have in mind for the final product? I bet you guys had a field day with the name Mrs Nutt.
ReplyDeleteIt depends how big it gets and the gender of new niece/nephew due end of Sept. I am tempted to make it lap quilt size for me!
DeleteWhat beautiful hexie flowers! You're doing such a fabulous job on choosing the colors and peicing them!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful hexagons!! That fabric is amazing!! Vintage?
ReplyDeleteThanks, Erika. It's Kaffe Fassett, 2007. I have had it out away for awhile.
DeleteWow! That is going to be fabulous when it's finished. How big is it going to be? Bed-sized? Are you doing all the stitching by hand?
ReplyDeleteAt the biggest I think it will be lap sized. I have only 1/4 metre of the fabrics in my stash. Yes, all the stitching by hand. It's a good tv listening project!
