Hexagon Quilt Update

I've found that doing these little hexagons is very relaxing and considering the about of stress as of late it's been good to work on. This is a good tutorial from Thimble Blossoms on how to make a hexagon quilt.

The Hexagon Quilt

I found a couple packages of pre-cut hexagon pieces in a antique store. They're gorgeous. They're feedsack fabric. Did I mention they were already cut out and waiting to be turned into something pretty after years of neglect?

Wedding Quilt

Sweetpea saying hello.

My uber-talented sister Heather made this gorgeous quilt for Tyler and I for our wedding. It was almost 4 years ago. We got it this spring. I like to tease her for the lateness but I have done the same so really I can't.

Sassy approves.

Flea Market Fancy

My collection has grown a bit and now I have to decide what to do with my precious stack. The problem is that once you collect cuts of discontinued fabric, it's very hard to cut them up - regardless of what the project will be. I managed to find a few yards of the pink florals in a fabric shop in Hudson, Wisconsin. Please don't ask which shop because I literally took the last of the bolt!

Craftstravaganza 2010

Fun was had this year at the show, though sales (for everyone) were a bit lower. I was very happy with my display and again I was blessed with the help of my friends Kelly and Natasha!

New Goodies in the Shop

I'm digging cross stitch right now!

I love the lime green with the orange, wonderful contrast.

This is from a vintage 50's pattern.

I love this.

And now I can breathe...

Classes are done, the craft show is over and now I have (some) free time! I have several new dresses and onesies that will be posted to the shop this week.

Stay tuned.....
