So what do you do when the groundhog says six more weeks of winter? We could spend a lot of time getting mad about it. The trouble is sometimes the more we dwell on something the more it bothers us. So, I have immersed myself into my quilting projects.
Yesterday was so enjoyable basting hexies and I was able to finish side 3 of my hexie project.
Very nice! I stitched on hexies yesterday also! LOVE them!
ReplyDeleteThey sure do pass the time, it feels good to make progress.
DeleteYou are really making great progress on this project Carla! So happy for you... I am nearing 50% completion on my own project... where do you think you are in this project? Didn't you mention a center medallion of some sort?? Excited to see how this project finishes :) Kathi
ReplyDeleteThat is hard question, since I am not sure where I am going with this. Have a feeling this will turn into a a pretty good size quilt. I do intend to add a medallion block, I am thinking some that incorporates some applique.
DeleteI was working on my hexies last night too - got a lot done!
ReplyDeletePretty dreary here, with more chances of snow towards evening, but then the rest of the week is looking good, maybe we could enjoy a few spring like days.
Deletethey look lovely - and great attitude! I'm taking a page from your playbook today
ReplyDeleteHappy stitching!
DeleteWow, you're making excellent progress! I just love the black - I definitely need to use black in a future quilt!
ReplyDeleteIt really does make those colors pop!
DeleteIt looks gorgeous! I have trouble working with black, so all I can do is admire. Thanks for linking to Hexie Weekend!
ReplyDeleteI agree black can make seeing things a bit hard. But it doesn't really matter that much with EPP. I guess I need to find a bright cheddar perle cotton to do the quilting. Something to think about anyway.
DeleteIt's cold here in Texas, but I'm not in the sewing room. I keep looking out the window hoping to see a snowflake....giggle.....not here. Love your hexie project!
ReplyDeleteIt is cold here in Arkansas too. We got several inches of that white stuff Friday, and are slotted for some tonight. Thankfully the first batch has melted for the most part. Looking forward to some 60 degree weather towards the end of the week.
DeleteWell I shopped! It was a way to make the long days a bit happier : ) lovely hexies
ReplyDeleteThat is fun too, especially if it's a fabric store!
DeleteLovely hexagons! Sounds like a great plan with the wicked winter you are having - keep warm.

Thanks Hilda! Hope you are not in the heat or near the fires that some of Australia is enduring! We are suppose to warm up at the end of the week, but today it windy and cold with snow in the forecast. Sounds like a great night for watching the Olympics and some stitching.
DeleteYour hexies look great Carla. I hope those six weeks go fast with lots of stitching.
ReplyDeleteThanks Janet, It is suppose to warm up here by the weekend. We just have had a lot of cold gray days, I am looking forward to some sunshine. For now these little flowers have helped to brighten my day.
