Still hexie-ing!
Still in the "Hexie" state of mind. Why is it even when you think you have enough fabric for a project after you have begun...turns out you don't. I had to try and match the middle of my hexies as I wanted to applique them on to backgrounds but of course NOT enough. A visit to the "Quilters Store" was such a hardship I can tell you but I was VERY restrained and for once in my life (sounds like that song) I only bought what I needed. So I am all set and have already started to applique the hexies in place.
I have felt the need to do some needleturn applique for ages now so I am busy designing something to go in the tacked on vase above which will in turn go with the hexies somehow.....having a very nice time.
You may have noticed this little cupcake on my sidebar. My daughter has started a little blog Here about her love of cupcakes and baking, her other interests and family life and when I posted about it earlier in the week some very lovely blogging friends popped over to her blog and made her feel very welcome. So thank you! You are all very sweet (excuse the pun).

ReplyDelete'for once in my life I have fabric that needs me,
Fabric that I've needed for so long,

Somehow I know it won't bounce....'
is that the song you were thinking of?
Enjoy your dinner!
I'm impressed with your will power. I think it;s almost impossible for me to go into a quilting shop and only buy what I need not what tickles my fancy!

ReplyDeleteIsnt that always the way - you think you have enough to do your project and then the quilting fairies start laughing at you. I cant believe your restraint !Ive been avoiding quilt stores for weeks because I know if I go in Im going to come out with a ton of stuff!
