Where did the last six days go?

I've been very busy, kinda sick, really tired and not great at keeping track of things, like days and where they go.

Thanks to a few really nice people, Jan, Kelly, Jennifer and Sara, I have 220 more hexagons sewn up.

Hexagon progress

A lot are a gift from Kelly. Some are from projects recently completed. 

This is what a hundred look like?

A swap from isisjem22. So I am + about 150 this week.

Newest reason not to do other things. Trying needlefelting again. Not sure what it will be.

A Fork in the Road

I've come to one. When I started making hexagons 6 months ago, it was just to see if I liked the process. I love hand sewing (sorry I do) and I was on board with the take along aspect of these things. I liked it. Then I got busy and they got buried. Literally. Fast forward to coming across Texas Freckles and her quilt along.

So here is my delimma. Do I go on as I started or do I allow myself to be completely taken in by her charms. You see, she is doing a hexagon charm quilt. That is where no two fabrics are alike. By her calculations I will need 1,173 to make a quilt approx 50 x 59. I really want to be commited to finishing this quilt. I just don't want to be commited, I've got a grandchild on the way for goodness sake. Poor child.... I had a gramma but she went crazy making hexagons.......

Of course this could be like my coffee addiction. I talk about intervention but when I comes down to it, if you tried, I might have to kill you. Maybe I've made my choice. Hmmm, crazy gramma it is.

Saturday

I've been meaning to do this for awhile now and today was the day. I went over to Schoeniach, to see a quilt shop called PatchCom. The owner, Brigit Klein was having a quilt fest. People brought their quilts to display while they were shopping, taking part in activities, watching demos or having coffee and visiting in a beautiful outdoor area. There were a really nice variety of quilts. Nadine Ruggles was there with a ton of her Inchies, she makes it look so easy. Everytime I see her mini works of art, I want to try making some. Brigit's shop is a lovely light filled space. If you haven't made it out there, I would recommend a visit.

I was able to get this quilted and bound in a realatively short time. I had fun making these silly meandering flowers and I love the rich colors of the Kaffee Fassett fabrics.

One more down a million more to go.....
