A very dear friend gifted me with a bag full of delightful red fabrics.
It didn't take me long to iron them, cut them and turn them
into more hexi's to add to my ever growing pile.
As l stitch l add more memories to this quilt
This is a common view as l look down at my lap.
And hopefully this is a not so common view! An oooppps! moment!
Thankfully it didn't take me long to put right.
l love watching this pile grow.
As l fill the tin, l anticipate more flowers on the pile.
Here is my collection to date.
32 finished, and 13 centres.
Not sure exactly how many ( 160?? ) l need to make total,
so l will just continue while the hex is in place!
We had A Piece of Cloth come visit us at the barn recently with her trunk show.
In fact l recommend a visit to read her latest blog post
about "Definitions" of a Modern Quilter. Very interesting reading.
There were many happy quilters who went
home with treasures tucked under their arms.
Here is a small sampling of mine.
l will show you a better photo of them in a future post,
as well as some other goodies that called my name!
It seems the seasons are a little confused by our recent weather.
Here is a jug full of white Lilac flowers. Nothing unusual if we were in spring,
but we are 12 days out from the start of winter!! huh??
l will enjoy them now, and cross my fingers we get our usual spring show as well!
And for those who inquired about my daughters puppy,
here is a recent photo of Duffy, who has made a
remarkable full recovery from her car accident.
Not only 1 quilt to play in, but 2!!
Such a sweet dog!
Thanks for visiting,
Linda.
You're hexies are looking wonderful!! They're multiplying at a fast rate! I love your new old fabrics, the one with the hot air balloon is particularly fabulous. Little Duffy is such a sweetie, I'm glad she's okay.
ReplyDeleteRachael, Thanks for your comment. Just wait till l show you the whole piece of fabric. Lots of different hot air balloons! Its fabulous!
DeleteYour friend has great taste in red fabric :0) What a tin full of red goodness -- your hexie flowers look wonderful! That is so interesting about the lilacs - I can only imagine how good they smell. We are a few weeks away from lilacs blooming where I live although someone went and planned a lilac festival this weekend in my city. Pretty well the only thing blooming here right now is dandelions... I look forward to a closer look at your goodies - some look very interesting!!
ReplyDeleteOh wow! I am totally drooling over all your lovely red hexies. I can tell I have a hexy project in my future! Very sweet to find new fabrics. I don't think there will ever be enough in the stash.:)
ReplyDeleteThe hexies are wonderful. I am in the middle of an ongoing project as well. Have you thought of punching a hole in the papers so that they will be easy to pop out? Always enjoy my visit to the Barn.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous fabrics, Linda. I can't wait to see your quilt put together.
ReplyDeleteI love your hexies! The reds are fabulous! I can't wait to see the hexie flowers become a quilt!
ReplyDeleteWow, love those hexie's. I'm so jealous, mine are modern prints in a diamond shape and I'm flying with these. I will have to start saving for a red quilt with neutrals like yours. It is an inspiration! Have a great day hexing!
