Done: I voted 4 you ! ;-)

You've already started the hexagon paper piecing. I promised myself that I will start one when SewMamaSew! announced the month of hand sewing.

Done - printed paper pieces and cut at least three A4 paper worth of hexagons. Will have to cut the fabric that I have set aside (have a plan in mind).

Need to be done - purchase the center and the background for completion. Get more fabric cut out to use for the hexagons.

love the fabrics and can't wait to see the finished products. What is the music you have plaing, sounds so familiar but I can't place it...

Just wanted to let you know that I just found your Hushabye scruffily quilt tutorial on Moda Bakeshop, and I must make it! I love it...it's wonderful...the fabric is on its way! Thanks very much!

What Comes Next? said...

good for you! I started working on some English paper piecing hexagons last summer - it was a take in the car project. Time to pull them out again for this year's trip!

~Niki~ said...

Hi Rachel ♥
Yes I've had an Etsy shoppe now for a while. I just listed a small girl quilt. If you want to check out my shoppe and see, I've had NO sales ever lol. I just realized that. Oh I'm even more depressed. i thought I had at least ONE sale lol. So share your insight, or send some my way. How do you do it girl? I also have a website http://www.nikissewcountry.com that I've had for like 5 years. Not much action on that either. hmmm. I've done the advertising thing too! hmmm no clue. boo hoo. lol. Niki

Cute hexagons! They are really addicting. I voted already! =)

BTW, have you tried connecting thread's essential cotton thread? Are they any good?
