56 Hexies wonder and more

Something a little new and interesting I found...

***** Click "Read more" option *****

As it seems the hexagons are in again lately,

I got the itch making some to see

if I could come up with something new to me.

What I found was this tutorial

which shows us how to machine piece

the hexagons.

Yes, they are all machine pieced!!

Isn't it amazing!?

I got this 2" hexagon stamp 10+ years ago

along with the ink pads for the fabric

at one of the vendors at the local quilt show.

I've never used it, but something clicked my brain

and it reminded me of what I have

in my closet!!

I've tried a couple if different methods

of making the hexagons in the past.

One is this way by machine with rotary cutting,

and the other is just a traditional

English paper piecing which

I'm currently still working on

as a member of One Flower Wednesday.

But I've always wanted to try

something quicker, yet easy way to

piece them together by machine

and finally got encouraged to try!

I'm very happy with how the way

it turned out :)))

It went really fast and actually nice!!

Now I have these wild looking blocks

right infront of me.

I think I do have an idea as for

how to finish them, but not sure

how soon I'll get worked on them :P

Oh BTW,

I decided to jump onto the wagon of

Kaleidoscope Quilt Along @Don't call me Betsy.

This is another one of the quilts

on my wish list to make "someday"

and it's about that time now!!

I chose the fabrics from the AM's new line

and still debating the background solid.

It's a sort of funny to find myself leaning to more

modern quilts with the comtemporary fabrics

 during the warmer season.

I think my mood will stay like this

during this summer, and will be limited for

CW repro's quilts for now.

Anyway, I can't wait to get started on

this farbulous QAL project later this month!!

"Ann Grant 1829" by Shakespeare's Peddler

Fabric: Vtg. Sand Dune 40ct @LL

Fiber: called for

Some may wonder how Ann has been doing?

Well, she is making a slow progress,

and has not been neglected yet!

lol

My needle just turned the top right corner

last night and it was really excited to see

all the border stitches are in good place :)

And here is the thread catcher

made by my quilty buddy Ms. K.

Her mind has been away from

sewing lately, but she still made this lovely

thing for me the other day :)))

Thank you so much!!

I can't show you the inside though

as it's filled with the bad threads already!!

Ughhhhhhhh

Sorry for some late replies back to

the comments you may have left

since last week.

We went up to the north

over the last weekend and

sure enjoyed a nice weather - mid 80's!!

Ms. Limo also enjoyed her walk

and had a good time in the country.

I will catch up with you all

who haven't heard back from me yet

in the next few days ;)

That's all for now.

Enjoy the rest of your day...

xoxo,
