Sewing day at Ellen's

G'day,

Yes, well .... not a lot of sewing was done - a lot of talking, laughing, a bit of eating, and lots of good company. A bit of show n tell as well. Was great catching up with folk again, and of course, I forgot the camera!

I was doing a bit on my hexagons, which, like most hexagon projects, is a long on-going project. I've been making rosettes from scraps ever since the kids were small and every now and then I make up a project using them. That's it on the right. The little pink strip is actually a 6" ruler to show the size of the haxagons. The design is based on one that I've seen on another blog and it's a bit like Topsy - just keeps on growing. Dont know what it will be eventually, but I'm having fun with it. It's my project when I dont have a project.

The image on the left I call "My Secret Garden" and I made it in 1998. It's about 18" x 24".

I feel a machine quilting day coming on - just have to get rid of this hot weather. I'd just like to finish off 2 or 3 tops and I'll feel like the PHD pile is diminishing. I havent counted, but there must be about 20 tops to be quilted. 2010 IS THE YEAR OF COMPLETION!! I'm still trying to work on the "finish 3 before I start another" - but do little crafty items count as "new"? I'll have to hold myself back, cos they do take time to make, even tho they are small.

So, that's it for another week.

CU

Cheers,

Faye.
