Hexi photos

I took the hexi quilt to Michigan over Memorial Day Weekend.  It is a gift for a new great-great niece due in 2 weeks.  Her name will be Kaitlyn, though I am not sure of the spelling.

I did free motion flowers in each hexi and played with designs in the border.  I stitched the binding by hand but then added decorative machine stitching also.

Catching Up


Time has slipped away from me and I have been remiss in blogging.

A quick catch up and I will try to do better.

I was sick a bit and then travelled to Final Four in New Orleans and had a great time with family there. 

Brandon and Natalie visited for a weekend and we went to Dinosaur Valley State Park and had lots of fun.  Unfortunately that same weekend I dropped my camera by the pool and it won’t work.  I purchased a new one but I am having problems uploading photos.  Purely operator error and I expect I will have some soon.

Sewing – I made samples and wrote directions for snap bags using the metal tape measures.  At our guild meeting we gave people  pieces of pre cut tape and the directions.

I got as high as 4th lady-in-waiting on the UFO Queen’s list so I finally finished the binding on the hexi quilt.  I will post pictures when I can.
