I won't complain about the weather (for once), because I know there are a lot of friends battening down the hatches for real tonight, and a bit of gusty drizzle here really is nothing in comparison.
Last night I got as far as ironing on the transfer for the next embroidery I want to attempt from Aneela's book, but then I could not resist the call of the hexies again.
So I decided instead to immediately start making my Mum a cushion for Christmas; I routed about and opted for a calm, low value selection to match the decor of her bedroom, I enlisted the help of my Szzix-winding princesses and got this far...
So now I am all set for my TV-watching, swimming lesson and ballet-waiting moments again.
To my East Coast American friends, be safe xxx
I need another sofa project....I technically have the rose star quilt (which I told myself I wanted done by the time I give my class in the new year) but I can't be arsed with it! Mainly because I have run out of the right fabrics and money, boo :-( Perhaps I'll distract myself by starting scrappy hexies!
ReplyDeleteHave fun on the settee!!
ReplyDeleteEnjoy the couch time.....pretty hexies!
ReplyDeleteDo you hire out the Sizzix turning princesses? I could do with a sofa project!
ReplyDeleteSounds lovely :-) Really need to sort out a few sofa projects too, I'm all out!

ReplyDeleteIt's a bit too crowded on my sofa at the moment! I need to clear up a few projects before starting new things.
ReplyDeleteHave fun with hexies - my first patchwork project (in 70s) was hexies - still have it - sadly killed my passion for life ... but sure yours will be wonderful xx
ReplyDeleteI'm stalking a sizzex machine on eBay at the moment! Enjoyhalfterm x x
ReplyDeleteAneel's book isn't available until 15th November - by then it will be old news as everyone will have completed all the projects! It's still on my Christmas list though!
ReplyDeletethis will be a relaxing make for you I am sure! enjoy! x
ReplyDeleteMom will be so happy!
ReplyDeleteHave fun on the sofa. (Ok in my head that didn't sound quite so wrong!)
ReplyDeleteThe hexies look very pretty and I love basting them - relaxing and satisfying!
