Polka Dots




My progress on my Pieced Hexie quilt is coming along......this month I am Queen Bee in the Get Your Hex on Quilting Bee.   4  blocks are back from the busy bees...the bow tie and baseball near the bottom right corner came all the way from Switzerland!  ( I kinda name them, silly I know).  Every time I finish a block I have a new favorite.

  You can see the rest on my Flickr page and check out our group too.  So many talented ladies, I can't wait to see what's in store for us next month.

 I did get some more basting done this weekend and it will take me all week to sew these 2 inch babies together.  I love my mini design board from Lori Holt's tutorial, it's so easy to carry around and the pieces don't get mixed up or fall off.  It does catch A LOT of thread....not so pretty in the pictures, but I still love it.  I will say don't iron on it cuz I scorched my other one duh! Iron too hot!!
Off to play with my fabric.... Happy Sewing, K

  7. This is a really cheery hexi quilt - so much EPP! I have been eyeing some EPP for myself. Your little tuturial on EPP is very helpful and is giving me the push to want to cut some hexis out and start with some fabric I think would look pretty cute. Lovely blog and lovely EPP - will definitely be following in the future!

    1. Thank you for stopping by my blog! You should definitely try the EPP, it is so addicting and a small project is totally manageable. I did a cosmetic bag with a 12x19 piece in Flirt and I love it.

    1. Thanks Sheri, yes all by hand but it goes really quick and I work on them on the weekends and sometimes at night while watching tv. Some nights I'm just too tired from work....
