Between the Simple Whatnot's meeting at Colorz and Stitching Society at Gruber's, I've managed to accomplish a few things in the sewing room.
I started putting together Words to Live By. The half square triangles have been finished for over a month and I figured it was about time to start sewing them together.
 |
| I'm really loving how the triangles look around the center block--I'm excited now to get this project finished. |
I also made a few place-mats for Meal on Wheels.
Our guild makes them every year and they are given out with a Christmas meal. I raided my Orphan Block bag and added fabrics from my stash to make them place-mat size--good to get some of those blocks and some older fabrics from the stash used up!
 |
| This one was made with reject blocks from my Around the Block quilt and the Temecula 12 Days of Christmas quilt. |
 |
| This was a test block for a model at Colorz for Quilts. (Diamond Diva by Anka's Treasures) |
 |
| This one was a class sample for the Sew Simple Pineapple by Karin Hellaby |
 |
| Leftover blocks from Trick or Treat quilt. There are still more blocks in the Orphan Block bag, but they will have to wait a while to come out to play. |
 |
| The Owl Of course, I am still stitching on my wool hexagons! I have stacks of them ready to stitch as time allows, so they will make a good Sunday pick-up project. |
Linking up the Kathy's Slow Sunday Stitching
I enjoyed seeing all the projects. And I am still loving the hexie designs.

ReplyDeleteSo glad you could join us for some slow stitching!
What a wonderful idea for placemats for MoWs. And I love your owl in the Hexagon. That is going to be a darling project. I invite you to link to Hexie Weekend. I know others would so like to see your hexagon eye candy. Ends today, midnight.
ReplyDeleteYour wool hexagon owl is adorable! Love to see what's on your design wall too--wow!
ReplyDeleteThe wool hexagon with an owl is just lovely and the Meals on Wheels mats perfect. What a lovely idea. beautiful stitching.
ReplyDeleteGood Morning!
ReplyDeleteI have tried to contact you several times by email. What I would so much like to know, is how do you make your wool Hexies? I do fabric ones, but seems the wool is two thick to do the same way. Do you machine sew them? If you would be so kind as to let me know I truly would appreciate it. My other love is wool applique. Thanks you so much, and have a blessed day.
