"house" blocks completed in MD for hexie club birthday swap |
As you may recall, I disappeared from the blog for a week of laziness after a long Easter weekend to visit my uncle in Baltimore and then for a 2nd week after being sick. I may have disappeared from the blog but I was still working on projects in the background.
pieced hexie blocks for Mickey Depre's 2016-17 sampler. These were machine sewn before the trip. During the trip I trimmed seam allowances and basted them. |
I suppose your first question is what happened to my March quilt lab clean up project. Since I was out of town, sick and I'm now getting ready to go out of town not just once but three times, it's been placed on hold or maybe delayed is a better word.
Let's just say that I'm still working on cleaning the lab but it's taking longer than expected since life has gotten in the way. I'm not surprised. Are you? I highly doubt that it will be finished in the next month or 2 due to a big project so lets just call it a longer term (summer?) project.
more twisted and pieced blocks completed at home |
I expect there will be hexie finishes in the next month and there are also new projects so there will be plenty to entertain you in my ongoing hexie UFO saga....
Back to the Design Wall...
I sell name badge holders at one of my conferences -- this is batch #1. This is a new (requested!) pattern since the girls wanted zippered compartments. I hope they like them... |
We traveled to Baltimore, Maryland for a long Easter weekend and then stopped in Intercourse, PA on the way home. That meant that I had 10 hours travel time for stitching as well as tv time at my uncle's house. I was quite productive, if I say so myself. Of course, I still packed 3 times too much (this is what happens when the supplies take up so little space) but it was nice to switch projects now and then.
I've started to make some of the blue pieced hexies for Mickey's pieced sampler |
Since returning home, I've finished some of the projects started on the road trip and worked on others as well. I have not one but 2 conferences this weekend so there will be plenty of stitching time - I just need to pack enough to keep my fingers busy which helps me concentrate in the classes better.

Wow--you may have been MIA, but you certainly haven't been inactive!
Look at all that paper piecing! Especially love the fussy-cutting on the Salt & Pepper block at the top.
And I have to ask00just how many long tables do you have at your house?!?
Okay, maybe I misunderstand what you are saying, but from what I see of those card tricks blocks, the only difference between the two that I can see is that one is rotated a quarter turn from the other. Am I missing something?
Trust you are fully recovered now not nice to be poorly.
You really inspire with your hexies projects, do not think I have seen the house shape before, maybe will have a go at that.Liking the I spy blocks and how you have set them at an angle. Name badge holders are so good and a zip is a very good ides. Never mind the organising etc I say stitch instead
You have been productive! And everything is so pretty! I need to get back to my EPP, too.
So many projects. You are busy! I have a grandmother's garden I've been working on for a few years now. Someday it will be finished...
WOW-you've got a whole lot going on!! And not OCD--just, well....very well organized LOL hugs, Julierose
